Whether you\u2019re an introvert or extrovert or inclined to be a lone wolf or team player, the Bible is clear that partnership is an important part of life. That doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s always easy, of course, but it\u2019s worth the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is particularly true in the Bible translation movement. Historically, Wycliffe and a few key strategic partners were focused on translation efforts in different communities around the world. These efforts proved successful in many cases, and lives were being transformed through God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, a New Testament translation was taking decades on average to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s when we felt like God was calling us to step out boldly in faith and consider what it would look like to see Bible translation start for every language still needing it by the year 2025. We recognized it would require us to rethink our processes, reconsider our partnerships and ask God to raise up his global Church to participate in the work in new ways. And that\u2019s exactly what he\u2019s done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
