William Cameron Townsend, who founded Wycliffe Bible Translators in 1942, believed everyone should have the Bible in their heart language so that the people can clearly understand the Word of God. Having caught this vision, Wycliffe Malaysia was incorporated in 1996 as a limited company to continue this important work of transforming lives through the understanding of God’s word.

There are more than 136 people groups in our country and many still do not have the Word of God in their heart language. We desire to see each and every people group in Malaysia to be able to know God through His Word in the language they understand best by partnering with Malaysian churches in running translation projects.

As there are over 7,000 languages in the world, we desire the same for people groups all over the world, we therefore also partner with organizations in other countries by sending Malaysians to serve the people groups
