The Carwile Family

The Carwile family is from the United States of America. Jason grew up in California, while Brenda spent her childhood in Montana. Our 6 kids: Felicity, Marie, Norman, Charity, Hosea, & Esther were born in Montana, California, Papua New Guinea, Montana, Montana, & Papua New Guinea respectively. Jason & Brenda met in Canada while going to school in preparation for work with Wycliffe Bible Translators and decided to join forces. Upon joining the ranks of Bible translators we received word from Papua New Guinea where hundreds of languages are in need of workers to help equip the Church with Bibles in their languages. Upon arriving we heard news of a language, Pamosu, that had begun translation, but could not continue because the previous workers either left(previous expatriate team) or did not have the resources needed to continue the fight(the Pamosu translators). We accepted their hand of fellowship and have been working to learn their language since then. We finally were able to start equipping these men with resources and training startin early 2022.

Jason's Testimony

Megan Reed & Courtney Davis

These two wonderful ladies are the support team for the Carwile family. Each time the Carwiles leave or return to the SIL mission center of Ukarumpa there is considerable work that they assist in- from helping to clean to buying supplies and coordinating their delivery to aviation. Many of these tasks need to be completed while the Carwiles are not present. Though not directly involved in translation this support is crucial to the efficacy of the Carwile family.
