We’re passionate about celebrating cultures, educating people about language groups and highlighting the need to continue this important work until all people have access to Scripture in the language they know best.”

 

The Wycliffe Discovery Center opened in 2002 and offers guests of all ages an interactive learning experience about cultures around the world and the process by which the Bible was translated for them, as well as displayed copies of many completed translations. The Center regularly hosts youth events to reach students outside normal school hours, and guests can schedule tours led by active missionaries who can offer first-hand insights into the displays.
