ORLANDO, Fla.—Wycliffe Foundation is honored to announce the production of $100 million in new planned gifts since inception in October 2002. The $100 million figure represents more than 1,500 donors across the United States who have committed a portion of their assets to the work of Bible translation in the future.

Upon their receipt, these gifts will be used to support the work of the Wycliffe family of organizations in the U.S. that serve the recruiting, training, and logistical operations for approximately 3,800 missionaries, translators, aviators, literacy workers, and administrators around the world.

“We are humbled by the resources God has entrusted to Wycliffe Foundation over the past seven years,” said Don Erickson, president and CEO of Wycliffe Foundation. “We praise God for the work He has done so far through our organization and look forward to our continued service to the overall task of Bible translation.”

In recognition of this milestone, the Foundation will host Celebrating legacies…changing lives on November 18, 2009, in Orlando, Fla. The morning event will feature stories from partners across the country, along with discussions and presentations from Foundation staff and leadership. The celebration will conclude with refreshments and a Biblical stewardship seminar in the afternoon.
