In 1934, William Townsend established Camp Wycliffe in Benton County. Later changed to Wycliffe Bible Translators (WBT), it was a linguistic training program to promote Bible translation among minority language groups. The WBT, along with other organizations he founded, were credited with the translation of more than 700 New Testaments and Bibles. Townsend is shown here on a trip to Papua New Guinea.
