Translation Is an Act of Sacrifice

Often the history shapers, who play the biggest roles and make the biggest sacrifices, are those whose names we never hear and we can never thank. Bible translators often remain anonymous because of the risk involved in this kind of work.

— Jason Mandryck, Operation World
