How Can You Help?

Dear family and friends!
God is so good! The last several months have been amazing! From seeing people come to Jesus, teaching future leaders hungry for God, preaching and seeing the Lord restore, heal and deliver, hosting a great mission team...we have seen the hand of God move in so many different and wonderful ways.

What a refreshing time it has been for us and a wonderful time of ministry we all have had!!!

Our family was even able to go to the beach with the team for half a day and enjoy the fresh air! Praise the Lord!

We’re a “Church of ONE”!
Orlando is a City of ONE; Oviedo is becoming a City of ONE; Seminole is a County of ONE… now University Carillon is becoming the very first Church of ONE!

A declaration signed at ONEnow, with the approval of our Leadership Council, aligns us with ONE: The Campaign to Make Poverty History. ONE is a non partisan effort by Americans to rally Americans, one by one, to fight the emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty. So far, ONE has been supported by millions of individuals and more than 100 of the nation’s leading relief, humanitarian and advocacy organizations. To learn more, go to one.org.
