His translation would serve as the basis for the Desano New Testament. The project wasn’t without difficulties, in August 1975, a Desano village ousted the translators. After pressure from the local Catholic mission. After relocating and restablishing the translation project continued despite trials throughout the translation process and would be completed in 1984.
