This year we are welcoming back Carol Kent. You can read a little more about her ministry at http://carolkent.org/. Carol is an award winning author and a gifted speaker. Her vibrant personality and relevant messages make her one of the top Christian communicators today. She is a popular international public speaker best known for being dynamic, humorous, encouraging, and biblical. She is a former radio show co-host and has often been a guest on Focus on the Family. She regularly appears on a wide variety of nationally syndicated radio and television broadcasts. Past appearances have included the Billy Graham Prime Time Special, Dateline NBC, CNN, MSNBC, Focus on the Family, LIFE Today with James Robison, Family Life Today, and 100 Huntley Street.
Carol’s love for the Lord and her passion for equipping, encouraging, and empowering people to live for things that matter shines through. Her readers are irresistibly drawn to see God’s astonishing “grace places” in the middle of their roadblocks.
For those who don't know her story, part of her testimony involves her son's arrest for murder. Below she explains the biggest thing you've learned about God through this experience. "I've learned that God is close the brokenhearted and He never wastes our sorrow. I'm continuing to experience a new kind of normal where I can make hope-filled choices based on His eternal truth. Every day I try to find one thing to be thankful for and it's my goal to look around and do one tangible act of loving compassion for someone else who is walking a difficult path. I'm also learning that God gives us splashes of joy--and even laughter--in the middle of a difficult journey."
Please join us in welcoming Carol to Sault Sainte Marie.
