MissionAssist
Description
We are volunteers providing free services, practical, administrative and academic, supporting those working overseas in Christian mission. MissionAssist (formerly Wycliffe Associates UK) was founded in 1989. Today 700 volunteers, working from their own homes and mostly in the UK, help overseas Christian mission workers by providing a range of practical and academic services free of charge. MissionAssist has also initiated its own projects such as simple booklets for literacy use, converting printed Bible translations to a digital format, safe storage of Bible files, and the EasyEnglish project including the EasyEnglish Bible. Our services have expanded over the years to help many different mission entities.
Our objectives, as stated in our trust deed, are as follows:
To proclaim and further the gospel of God concerning His Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, and the preaching and teaching of the Christian faith throughout the world, including supporting the work of Wycliffe Bible Translators.
To produce, publish and distribute the Scriptures, Christian literature, audio-visual aids, films and any other material of a Christian nature.
To assist in the relief of human suffering and poverty, consequent upon the effect of personal, local, national or international disaster.
