                                           Wayne & Kathy Carpenter

In 2004, with the love of Christ, the love and support of family, and with counseling we were able to beat the odds and save our marriage. Wayne and I were both baptized in the summer of 2005 at our family camp for South Sound Community Church.

Through our church, we got involved with City Gates Ministries when two years ago we made a clothing donation through Kathy Talley. Wayne had a dream about doing mission work and we realized it was the perfect opportunity to get started. We have continued to grow with the ministry and are hoping to do additional mission work when we retire.

Wayne is active in networking with local dentists, nurses, and doctors for donations of personal hygiene items and we both help out on Thursday nights for the street ministry.
