What is the relationship between Wycliffe Bible Translators, SIL International and JAARS?
Wycliffe Bible Translators, SIL International and JAARS are jointly committed to language development work, which usually includes training, translating the Bible and promoting the use of translated Scriptures. William Cameron Townsend founded all three organizations, and each plays a unique role in the worldwide translation task: • Wycliffe Bible Translators offers opportunities for involvement in the translation movement through prayer, personal service, financial partnerships and vision sharing. • SIL International is a faith-based organization that studies, documents and assists in developing the world’s lesser-known languages. • JAARS provides quality technical support services and resources to speed the work of Wycliffe Bible Translators, SIL International and related translation and literacy organizations.
