“Last century was the era of individual pioneers who saw the potential to extend boundaries and reach recording-breaking numbers of people with the Bible for the first time.
Might this century be the era of collaborators, tackling challenges so large that they must be accomplished collectively
rather than going in alone?”
– Samuel Chiang
