Wycliffe Bible Translators

Wycliffe’s vision, in partnership with our supporters, is that everyone will have access to God’s word in the language that speaks to them best. The Bible changes lives – and so does the work of translating the Bible.

Wycliffe is a well established international charity working with a local partner in Togo to bring literacy education, literature and bible translation, in their mother-tongue, to the 200,000 people who speak the Ife language. The Abbey’s support has helped restart a project which is seeing literacy education extended and good progress be made in translating the Old Testament.
