Mission Statement: Sharing the Word of God in the Printed Word, In Digital World, With our Hands From our Heart

After J.T. and Rebekah have raised their full support, they will continue to travel and serve here in the U.S. training young people for ministry and missions while also hosting youth rallies and conferences to share the Gospel and encourage young people for missions. While serving internationally, J.T. and Rebekah will be taking teams of Deaf and hearing for short term mission trips to give young people the opportunity to serve on a foreign mission field and become burdened for ministry and missions! Pray for them as they continue to raise support and serve in missions!

After serving for seven years as a mission teacher in Puerto Rico, Monique became extremely burdened for students with special needs and learning challenges. This was a burden that began many years before with her first deaf friend at age 11, her first job with United Cerebral Palsy Association at the age of 18, and the sermon of a missionary to Ivory Coast, West Africa.

Upon returning from Puerto Rico, Monique learned of a Christian school ministry, Hidden Treasure Christian School, in Greenville, SC. At that time, it was the only Christian school for children with disabilities. She has been faithfully serving as a teacher and elementary advisor for nearly 15 years. At Hidden Treasure, it was one “unreachable” deaf student with Down’s Syndrome that opened her eyes to those who have never “heard” or experienced the love of Christ or the opportunity of salvation. The miracle of God to reach this child for Christ confirmed that “with God, all things are possible.”

Her burden is to answer God’s call to reach the deaf, individuals with special needs, and their families for Christ, in Liberia, West Africa. The mission is to "make a difference" in the lives of the forgotten individuals with co-disabilities involving deafness or minimal language. Through the love of Christ, she endeavors to teach them to know God, love God, glorify God, serve God, and train others to do the same.
Jude 22-23 " And of some have compassion, making a difference..."

In 2016, she took a personal trip to Ireland. While there, she surrendered to truly go anywhere, even to Africa. Carrie met SWM International Director David Bennett in 2017. At the time, he was putting together a team to go to West Africa and invited her to join the team. She did join the team and surrendered to full time deaf ministry while in Liberia, West Africa.

Carrie has always had a heart to serve those who are different, ignored, forgotten, or overlooked. Her heart is to reach deaf people, people with special needs, and their families for Christ. She is especially burdened for people with minimal language abilities. All people need to know of God’s love and redemptive work for them. She seeks to reach, teach, and train deaf and differently-abled individuals to know God and make Him known!
