Questions & Answers

What were your favorite memories of quizzing?
Making individual finals as YTR (1987) and as STV (1989, 1990).

How did quizzing impact your faith?
It gave me the incentive to study the Scriptures seriously on my own and gave me a hunger to know God and His Word.

How has quizzing shaped your life today?
I am sure Bible quizzing is the main reason that I have ended up as a Bible translator. My passion for the Word of God was kindled as a young man memorizing chapters for quizzing. My desire to help others grow in their faith was developed while serving as a coach while in college. My analytical skills in analyzing meaning versus form were developed as a quizmaster.

Are you still involved in quizzing?
I am helping coordinate Free Methodist Bible quizzing in the Philippines and also starting a different form of Bible quizzing for the Ayta Mag-Indi people of the Philippines.

Tell us about your current vocation?
I serve with Wycliffe Bible Translators as a Bible Translation Consultant. I am also Translation Coordinator for the Ayta cluster where I have active involvement in working with two committees (Ayta Mag-Indi and Ayta Abellen) of Mother tongue translators who are translating the New Testament and other Scripture materials into their own languages.
