The story of this Bible translation began with a struggle I was facing in Chad, in 2007.

We had just joined a new mission agency.

The budget I was asked to raise from churches was double what it had been.

Our previous supporters easily got on board to support us.

However, I was having a difficult time asking new churches of New England to support us as well. They were already supporting as many missionaries as their budget could afford.

And these pastors were struggling to make ends meet themselves.
