How will they hear?

 “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? (Romans 10:13-14)

While we are not preachers, per se, we are missionaries. We were called some twenty-four years ago as a family to serve other families and their children whiles haring the Gospel in meeting needs such as food, clothing, educational needs, housing and spiritual mentoring. While we do not plant churches as those of biblical days and even today, we share the Gospel in action and then point new believers to local, already established churches. Currently we are coaching (mentoring) high school students and young adults concerning life choices with biblical advice and guidance. We have led hundreds to Christ through these efforts and even seen these young people go on to graduate from CHRISTian colleges, earn degrees, and most importantly start families of their own, following Godly principles. 

One of our greatest joys is leading short-term mission trips with our teens to serve local communities and churches who have suffered loss or are in need of assistance for a week or so out of our year. Teens have raised money for their trips and sacrificed Spring Breaks and Summer vacations to give to others. Some of these teens have been able to leave the DMV for the first time and even fly in an airplane away from their familiar surroundings. They have learned that they are blessed despite their own struggles. They were able to give back for the first time in their lives! 

We do not have a congregation, but one day, when we face the Lord, we will see all those He has allowed us to influence. To tis end, we have developed a relationship with the people of Puerto Rico and a few churches there. They have suffered greatly in the recent years from hurricanes, earthquakes and now Covid. While their spirit remains high, they are in need of personal touch, prayer, and yes, some physical repairs! While we cannot take any teens this year, we are asking you to please "send" us so the work may continue!

We are still in need of about $2000 for housing, food, and supplies for our adult team of three. You may donate at our Facebook fundraiser (https://www.facebook.com/donate/805571283695673/) or CashApp @$Carrollmission.

God bless as you prays and give!  😇
