Paralegal

About the Company

What if your daily work could support a movement with eternal impact? At Wycliffe Bible Translators, we believe that when people encounter Jesus through Scripture, lives are transformed forever. Lack of Scripture is a massive barrier to evangelism, discipleship, church planting and other forms of ministry, and today there are 833 languages that still need Bible translation work started for the first time.
