Chuck and Carole have been in Wycliffe for over 30 years. They started out in linguistic and translation-related work overseas in New Caledonia, in the S. Pacific, assisting local people doing Bible translation into their own languages. Once back in the U.S. they have been providing assistance from the Dallas Center for people who are directly involved in the world-wide Bible translation task. For over ten years Chuck was the compiler and managing editor of the French-English Glossary of Linguistic Terms. He also served for nearly eighteen years handling the finances for the funding of translated Bibles, New Testaments, Scripture portions, as well as of academic publications. For nineteen years Carole was the coordinator of the French Translator's Notes project, leading a team of people who are developing key resource materials for Bible translators in French-speaking countries.


Chuck is now the managing editor of the Ethnologue, which is a database of the over 7000 languages of the world. He is responsible for overseeing the information which is submitted. The Ethnologue provides information that is used by many mission agencies in developing strategies for outreach to language communities around the world. It is also highly regarded in the academic community for its broad wealth of data on many otherwise little known languages of the world. (See it yourself at www.ethnologue.com)


Carole is now a Career Guidance and Team Development Advisor. She really enjoys coaching people and seeing them come to appreciate who God has made them and how He can use them as they seek to serve Him effectively in the ministry of Bible translation.
