Doug attended Providence College (near Winnipeg) with plans to serve as a pastor. It was a life-changing experience as he learned more about the greatness and goodness of God, and about how to read God's Word with understanding. \u00a0In his final year at Providence, he learned that over 2000 people groups in world had no Scripture in their language, and was deeply burdened for Bibleless peoples.<\/span><\/p>\n

Doug completed an MA in Linguistics (Dallas, TX) in 1980, and the next year he and his wife, Phyllis, moved to the Philippines. They served there for 25 years, primarily in the area of Scripture translation. Doug also served on a team to develop a Tagalog language-and-culture course, conducted sociolinguistic survey, served as a lexicography consultant, and taught at Asia SIL. Since 2006, Doug has been teaching at CanIL (Principles of Translation, Philosophical Perspectives in Linguistics, Language Programs Design & Management, and Semantics & Pragmatics). In 2013 he completed the Doctor of Ministry program in Bible Translation. In addition to his administrative VP role, he is an Associate Professor of Linguistics, and he and Phyllis continue to contribute to a language project in the Philippines.<\/span><\/p>\n
