HISTORY

The story of Word of Life starts with the vision of Jack Wyrtzen, who believed, “it is the responsibility of every generation to reach their generation for Christ.” Jack founded Word of Life Fellowship in 1940 as an outgrowth of a Bible study. Over the next 75 years, Word of Life added camps, conference centers, bible institutes, and church youth ministries spanning 70 countries. Our 1400+ missionaries continue to reach the next generation for Christ.

BELIEFS

What we do in ministry flows from one place: God’s Word. It’s in the Scriptures that we take our philosophy for life and ministry. It’s these beliefs that lead to our core principles the bedrock of what Word of Life truly is.

FINANCIALS

Through incredible ways, God has always graciously given us friends of the ministry that have faithfully given to sustain the worldwide ministries of Word of Life. To honor their friendship and to honor God in truth we handle financial accountability with great care and the utmost transparency.
