Position Description

About OneBook

Onebook exists to see every people group experience the transforming power of God’s Word in their own language. What started as a small project within Wycliffe in the early 1990’s grew to becoming its own organization, Global PartnerLink Society, in 2008. OneBook’s unique way of working towards scripture translation by empowering national partners to lead Bible translation, literacy, and development initiatives has been its success. Since 2008, OneBook has seen 71 New Testaments and 2 Old Testaments completed. But the work isn’t finished, we need fresh leadership to fulfill the mission!
