CARMEN TAN
After working in the non-profit sector for a few years, she realized even though those charities did good work, it was just a band-aid effect. Carmen realized God is the only one who can truly transform and heal people's lives. She is now able to share about God's free gift of salvation to the children and families in Kingston-Galloway.
Carmen has a passion to help children, youth and families discover God’s love and grace in their lives. Over the past 5 years in ministry, Carmen finds a lot of joy when helping children and youth develop their life skills and giftings.
Carmen hopes to be God’s messenger in sharing His goodness and hope to the children and families she encounters.
Carmen Serving in Kingston-Galloway
As I reflect on the past year with the change in the mission; our sites and staffing, I am reminded of God’s faithfulness.
God is a God who takes care of us, even at times when we feel alone. God is always there, and we can trust Him. We can leave our worries to Him, so we can worry less.
I came back to programs the next day and the little boy says to Esther: “God answered our prayer! God healed Carmen and she’s back at camp now!” We smiled when we heard this because God did heal me and give me the strength to be back. This is a reminder to not forget the little things that God does. God will use people, big or small, to remind us of His goodness and power.
It takes time to see fruit and witness how God is working in someone’s life. Too often, we are tempted to want to see fruit instantly. But God works in a different way. His timing is ALWAYS perfect
