Carol and Doyle each grew up in missions-minded families and accepted Christ before their teen years. They were each sent into missions by their home churches in 1982 and met in North Carolina while serving with JAARS, Wycliffe’s partner for technical services.

 

The Petersons have served in Togo, Africa, at the international support centres in Texas and North Carolina, and in the Wycliffe Canada headquarters in Calgary.

 

Carol has worked as a travel consultant at JAARS and in the finance office of Wycliffe Canada, processing donations for missionaries and projects. Doyle serves the global efforts of Wycliffe and key partners, as a strategy and planning consultant, to develop long-range plans for reaching remaining languages that do not yet have God’s Word. He often mentors younger leaders as the Bible translation ministry expands globally."

 

The Petersons have three adult children and nine grandchildren. They are active in the community and in their local church, where Doyle has served as Sunday school teacher and chair of the board of elders.
