The Seed Company was launched by Wycliffe Bible Translators in 1993 with a mandate to accelerate Bible translation. It started with pilot projects in 10 different languages linked to prayer partners and investors. Four years later, the model was working in 50 people groups and growing.  Over 30K people have been exposed to the New Testament through this translation work! 

Today, The Seed Company is working with several hundred local translators who are leading the translation process in more than 350 language translation projects. These translators are responding to the local churches’ and ministries’ need to make Scripture available more quickly for church planting and discipleship.

The ministry offers extensive programs for the 100 plus MKs who live near the JAARS center as well programs for MKs living globally.  (in 10 years, 14 Mrs have entered full time ministry!)  This growing ministry also helps missionaries in transition by offering pastoral counseling, a furloughing women’s support group, a support group for widowed missionaries, and much more. 

JAARS is a technical branch of Wycliffe Bible Translators primarily geared towards supporting missionaries through software development, multimedia presentations, and transportation of materials. The JAARS center population is unique as it has a mixture of both short-term (or transient) and long-term (or station) MKs living there.  For more information about JAARS, click here.
