Our Story

CATA: Anyi Literacy, Translation, & Training began when founder Ettien Koffi answered God’s call in 1983 to bring His Word to the Anyi people of Côte d’Ivoire. With years of study, support from churches and friends, and God’s faithfulness, Ettien developed a written form of the Anyi language and completed the New Testament translation in 2017. Today, CATA continues to thrive through its three-fold mission: teaching literacy, providing Bible translation, and equipping leaders through discipleship training—transforming lives and communities across the Anyi region.

Our Mission

We follow a three-part approach: teaching literacy, translating Scripture and discipleship resources, and equipping the growing Anyi church. By focusing on education, translation, and spiritual growth, we help build a stronger, more resilient future.

We follow a three-part approach we call The Three-Legged Stool. Our ministry rests on three legs, like a sturdy stool:
  • Literacy
  • Translation
  • Discipleship Training
Together, these three efforts create a firm foundation for faith, education, and community transformation.
