“The
sale of our global headquarters will help us marshal every resource at our
disposal to press on toward seeing every person around the globe have access to
a Bible in a language and format they can understand in our lifetime,” said John
Chesnut, president and CEO of Wycliffe USA.
Wycliffe USA’s headquarters facilities were constructed in the early 2000s with a planned capacity of 800 people. However, the organization’s geographically dispersed workforce, coupled with broader trends in remote work, has led to underutilization of the space and surrounding acerage.
Additionally, there is
a rise globally in local churches initiating translation work, which means a
reduction in the need for the same number of US-based participants as in the
past. Wycliffe USA will relocate its headquarters near the current location
pending the sale of the property.

“Florida is one of the fastest-growing commercial real estate markets in the country, and the Wycliffe campus is one-of-a-kind,” said
Trent Scott, president
