The Carvers with their children and grandchildren

Richard and Margaret Carver are missionaries, and the product of missionaries. Born in Sydney Australia, they had life-changing experiences in 1967 by the missionary efforts of Glen and Iris Bogue, pioneer missionaries to Australia for the United Pentecostal Church International.

After completing Bible School, Richard & Margaret Carver departed Australia as missionaries to Papua New Guinea. Later, they were to also become missionaries to New Zealand, Fiji, and now Australia / South Pacific.

The Carvers have two children, Rachel and Richard, who are both married and Associates In Missions workers; and four lovely grandchildren, Matthew, Ryan, Laura and Timothy.

You can learn more about the Carvers by visiting Previous Fields (our history from 1973-2001), or Current Fields (2001-present).

To see some photos of the family, visit our Family Photos page; or to see what the Carver's children are doing, go to the VanSants or Carver Jnr's pages.
