Member Orientation

To see upcoming workshops, please scroll to the bottom of the page.

New members of Wycliffe Australia need to complete 3 orientation workshops. People can choose to do these workshops while they are in the process of applying for membership, or may leave them until after they’ve completed the application process and received official notification regarding their acceptance as members.

The 3 orientation workshops are:

• Worldwide Wycliffe: explores the vision and mission of Wycliffe Australia, the history of Bible translation, how Wycliffe Australia works in partnership with other organisations in the global Bible translation movement, and operational details relevant to Wycliffe Australia members.
• Partnership Development: equips participants with attitudes, skills and resources to build a team of financial and prayer partners.
• Ready, Set … Thrive: introduces skills, resources and practices to help Wycliffe Australia members thrive in long-term cross-cultural situations. Topics include communication and conflict resolution skills, spiritual vitality, adaptation and living in community.

These workshops are usually held in person at Wycliffe’s National Centre at Kangaroo Ground, Victoria. Accommodation is available at the centre for those who need it.
