Let’s explore together some opportunities the Lord has given us that He promises will bear fruit and set us free from mundane living.

More About Carol:
Carol’s global vision began to expand in 1999 when she and her family moved to Glen Ellyn, IL and attended a Christian and Missionary Alliance church. In the two years they worshiped there, they met several missionaries who had served overseas. A vision for God’s global kingdom starting coming into focus. Carol and her husband, Scott, served on John and Peggy Wharton’s sending (to Malaysia) team in 2005. She took Perspectives on the World Christian Movement class in 2006 which brought God’s Great Commission into full focus. Her family was relocated to Shanghai, China from 2007-2012 where she had the opportunity to engage deeply with the Chinese people and learn the value of crossing cultures. It was life changing. During that time, their family also was able to visit the Whartons in Malaysia to encourage and be inspired. Upon return to Midland, Carol facilitated the Malay Focus Team efforts and joined the Global Mission Team at Midland Free. After serving over five years, she and her husband moved to Northport, MI where they were welcomed by Sojourn church in Traverse City. Carol is the deacon of missions at Sojourn. When she isn’t outside playing in Northern Michigan’s outdoors, she finds great purpose in coaching the church towards engagement in the Global Great Commission. With help from many, she brought Perspectives to the area in 2023 and hopes this will become a bi-annual rhythm so that many will invest their lives in a treasure that has eternal value for God’s glory among all peoples. She can’t imagine a more secure and flourishing retirement plan.
