about

We are pilgrims on a journey with God and to God, and you’re welcome to join us.  We are members of Pioneer Bible Translators (pioneerbible.org), and we help people celebrate and preserve their languages & cultures, and we help them translate the Bible into their languages too.

Jordan is a literacy specialist (BA, MLE), and Ryan is a translation specialist (BA, MLE). Jordan heads up the Literacy Specialist Training Track at Canada Institute of Linguistics (Trinity Western University). Ryan teaches various courses at the same institutions, including: Philosophical Perspectives in Linguistics, Semantics & Pragmatics, Articulatory Phonetics, Language & Society, and Introduction in Linguistics.

He is also developing a new translation course called Communication & Translation. The goal of this course is to survey philosophical foundations for communication, meaning and translation in order to prepare students who wish to continue on to take the new course in Bible Translation (our programs currently have one course entirely focused on translation).
