Victor Gaultney, who serves with Wycliffe Bible Translators in England, will be speaking in our service on August 21th. Victor is a graphic designer and computer programmer who supports Bible translation for complex alphabets of the world.

For more than 70 years, Wycliffe (http://www.wycliffe.org) has helped people around the world translate the Bible into their own languages. There are still 180 million people who remain cut off from the gospel because the Scriptures have not been translated into any language they understand. Bible translation remains as critical for the Church today as it was 500 years ago in the days of Luther. Wycliffe enables local Bible translation and helps meet language development, literacy and other spiritual and physical needs.

Victor will share how God is using computer technology to “publish glad tidings” in some of the most complex alphabets of the world. He will share how this mission led him on a journey from serving at the ELCA Churchwide office in Chicago to teaching font and typeface design at the University of Reading in England.
