118: Bible Translation, Education, and the Power of Partnership (with Wycliffe USA's John Madden)

Have you heard about the partnership between TeachBeyond and Wycliffe Bible Translators USA? We believe that partnering together will strengthen the impact of each of our organizations as we serve in our respective niches in missions. Listen in to this conversation with John Madden of Wycliffe USA to learn more about the work of Bible translation and this new partnership.

  • “Faith in Jesus Christ is not just something for one particular people group or language group; it’s for everybody.”
  • “If you don’t have access to the Word of God, you’re going to be really limited in your exposure to the Gospel.”
  • “One of the key components of Wycliffe is partnership. We really believe that we have our expertise, we have our niche in the missions world, but we don’t do everything and we can’t do everything.”
  • “We can join efforts in providing great education for missionaries and for their children so that their longevity can increase.”
  • “Let’s see what we can do together. It’s in line with the Body of Christ – coming together and utilizing everyone’s gifts and abilities to have a maximum impact.”
  • “It is all interconnected, and that’s what our passion is – to give people access to the Word of God – we just happen to do that as a teacher or a pilot or an HR rep.”
