About:
Wycliffe Bible Translators, founded in 1942, paved the way to the modern Bible translation movement. In the latter part of the 20th century, translation organizations began to place emphasis on national translators and national leadership. During that
same time, Great Commission organizations realized it would take 150 years to reach every people group without Scripture at the current pace of Bible translation. In 1991, Wycliffe leadership built a model to accelerate the pace of Bible translation and involve
more national partners. The Seed Company was launched; work began in 1993 with pilot projects in 10 languages. By 2002, The Seed Company was working in 200 language groups, and national translators were leading every project. By 2007, that number had increased
to 400; and by October 2011, the number of language projects burgeoned to 700.
