It was at seminary in Manado, Indonesia that Edwin and Helmi met and began to serve the Lord together. In 1991 Helmi graduated and came to Canada, followed by Edwin in 1995. They were married in July 1995, and now have two children, Kyle and Toar.

The Karwurs were appointed in March 2006 to serve in Indonesia in the areas of church planting and Theological Education. Since their arrival in Indonesia, both Edwin and Helmi have also been involved in facilitating student-run evangelistic campaigns in North Sulawesi and spearhead church planting efforts there through the seminary where Edwin also teaches and Helmi is overseeing the English school that they created to become a possible source of income for the Seminary. 

Please pray continually for them.  Their sons, Kyle and Toar are in Canada pursuing their education.
