Not every goal needs to be something you can accomplish in a day or a year or even one lifetime.
There are not quite 8000 spoken languages on Earth at the moment, and a lot of them are from cultures that never invented writing. SIL has sent a missionary to most of them to learn the language, invent a writing system for it, teach it to them, and translate the New Testament into it. Most of those are fairly standard alphabets using characters from the Latin scripts, plus perhaps a few new characters or new combinations of character and diacritical. The task is large, but finite.
