Stories of Gift Giving
“I love seeing what God is doing around the world, and the opportunity to give to projects I know are making an eternal difference.” —Stephanie, Texas
"I take great pleasure in assisting your organization because you’re doing the work that Jesus wants very much. He said He wouldn’t want to come until everybody has been given a chance to accept or reject Him. You are one of those organizations that are helping to bring about the conditions that Jesus mentioned as vital before His second coming.” —Frank, North Carolina
"I'm organizing an event for our church and would like to have some of your gift catalogs available for people to take home and use with their families as they think about giving to others to reach them with the Gospel, instead of just buying gifts for themselves.” –Valorie, California
"Our church is having an alternative gifts promotion and we want to distribute your catalog to people who may be interested in donating to Wycliffe in honor of a loved one for Christmas.” –Susan, Pennsylvania
"Like so many American children, our 7 grandchildren have more 'stuff' than they need. We have found the Wycliffe gifts to be a way to teach by action that it is 'more blessed to give than to receive.' Thank you for making this alternative to another gift available.” –Ruth, California
"At our department Christmas party we raised enough money to sponsor a translator’s equipment and salary. Giving to the project from our hearts was a special part of holiday season for us as we celebrated the coming of Christ.” –Carey, Florida
"After looking at your catalog online, I decided to make candles and sell them so that I could send a gift. I chose to support Bible storybooks, oral scripture players, and workshops for translators.” –Emily (age 11), Oklahoma
"I put copies of the Wycliffe catalog in the front entrance of our bookstore for our customers to help further the kingdom." –Dave, Michigan
"This is a wonderful opportunity to spread the love of Christ. I want many more people to know about Wycliffe Bible Translators and their gift catalog this holiday season, so I've requested multiple catalog packets to give to others in my community." –Dan, Missouri
"We have been involved with Wycliffe for a long time, supporting the ministry of Wycliffe missionaries, and wanted to do something more. We looked at the catalog, and rather than trying to make a decision, we decided to give something to each one." -Carl, Texas
"I gave all my allowance for the Jesus Messiah Picture Books because I want all children to have Bibles!" -Hannah Grace (age 7), Missouri
