Martin and Alice are based in Calgary, Alberta with their children Grace (8) and Kai (5). Martin develops relationships between Wycliffe and First Nations believers in Canada so that the organization can better support their Bible translation and language development needs. He is also pursuing certification as a sociolinguistics consultant. Alice is a Bible translation consultant who reviews completed Scripture translations for clarity, accuracy, and naturalness prior to publication. In addition to supporting the Blackfoot translation project in southern Alberta, Alice also serves translation teams internationally, primarily in anglophone and francophone Africa.

Before moving to Calgary, the Reeds worked in northern Manitoba and Quebec, partnering with First Nations church leaders to create Scripture products and promote the use of Indigenous languages in church, school, and community life.

Alice holds a Ph.D. in Intercultural Studies from Fuller Theological Seminary and a M.A. in Biblical Exegesis and Linguistics from Dallas Theological Seminary. Martin holds a M.A. in Language and Culture Studies, with a concentration in Literacy, from Dallas International University.
