Success Story: Carole, Women’s Mentor

We can’t model behavior if we don’t know what it looks like. For many of our participants, they have never experienced a responsible, loving, supportive parent or had healthy friendships with sensible boundaries. Since 2016, Carole has been faithfully showing God’s love to wounded, disregarded women in the 70×7 program. Her gentle spirit and profound kindness emanate trust and compassion. She is a keen listener and is grounded and practical, qualities that often elude our participants.

When one of Carole’s mentees spent her formative years in prison and never learned to drive, Carole took her to a large, empty parking lot to practice. She also helped her mentee with money management, readying her for her first apartment!

During her teen years, Carole’s church was very involved in missions and she realized there were “things I can do for God,” and she was right! From missionary work in Japan as a young adult to serving in Kenya as a wife and mother of three small boys, to today where she was just made an elder at Moran Park Church, Carole has dedicated her life to “doing things for God.” At 70×7, we are grateful that Carole includes us in her mission!
