Megan is part of the Carwile’s support team to do things like organizing resources, buying food to put on the helicopter, and other tasks while the Carwile family is in Avevete(Hinihon).
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 were able to start equipping these men with resources and training starting early 2022.
