Wycliffe - South Africa

You can choose to support Wycliffe's work financially in several ways:

Supporting an Individual
Wycliffe members do not receive a salary. Instead, they depend on a team of people to support them. The financial support which members require depends on such factors as the cost of living in their assigned country, work related expenses and number of dependants. Members need to have the full amount promised before they can take up their assignment. By helping support a Wycliffe worker, you become a vital part in spreading God's Word, and you will be kept informed about the ongoing work of the Wycliffe member you support.

Supporting Special Projects
Wycliffe South Africa works with various Bible translation organisations around the world. These are our partners on the field and their needs concern us. From time to time we will help them raise funds for services such as to printing literacy materials, or to purchase equipment like a computer for a translator or a photocopier to publicise their work.

Leaving a Legacy

For the peace of mind of your loved ones, the Government recommends that you make a will. If you don't, the law must follow its own dictates and will be forced to distribute your assets in ways you may not have wished. If spreading God's Word has been one of your life goals, you may want to remember Wycliffe in your will, ensuring that your commitment to Bible translation and literacy will continue after you die.

Supporting the Wycliffe Office
The Wycliffe South Africa office gives practical support to South African missionaries around the world, making sure they are taken care of in every way. They also keep you and the Church informed about individual missionaries and the Bible translation task around the world so that more people and churches can pray and support the work intelligently. Because none of the office staff is paid a salary, every cent donated will be used to help them encourage the missionaries and mobilise the Church to give God's Word to all the peoples of the world.

Providing Supplemental Support
Because financial support does not always come in as expected, Wycliffe members are sometimes left with a shortfall. Money from Wycliffe's Supplemental Support Fund will be distributed as needed to members with a significant deficit, allowing them to continue their work until others join their support team.
