We have some fun stories to share and rejoice in as God continuously moves in the community of Carries!
"You have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of Light."
One of the first people I talked to was a man named Jimmy. I was walking along the path, and I asked if I could pray for him. He asked me who are you going to pray to? I said I believe Jesus God's only son and he was sent to save us from eternal damnation. We started talking about God, but he talked a lot about satan how he has come to deceive us and that he torments people. I would steer the conversation back toward God and we talked for about 20 minutes. I got to pray for him, and I gave him my contact info. Later I got to talk with him some more, and He received Jesus as his Lord and Savior. He is a regular at the men's bible study, and is seeking the Lord. He was often oppressed by the lies and manipulation of the enemy, often feeling stuck and unable to go to church... he said, "I really have a desire to go to church and know it's the right thing to do, but I feel something pulling me back. everytime I think about God, something hinders me." We prayed together and he has come to church and is growing in his walk with God. He wanders with his little paddle boat trying to find people who want to ride in it for money. I really want to get him some Kayaks. I'm praying that God will provide this for Jimmy so he has steady income. Please pray with us for Jimmy!

Men's Transition Ministry
Our men's ministry is off the ground with 5 men in the community who we have provided food, shelter, and clothes. In this program we have put some of them through school while the others who are too old to start school are being tutored. We help them learn maintenance and construction skills with our maintenance man Mr. Howard. I am also able to disciple them and have bible studies with them every week. Below are some videos of projects they have helped with.
