Carmel is FOR the unreached which means we pray for, go to, and share the good news of Jesus with those who have never heard! How can we do that? By equipping every believer because we all have gifts, talents, abilities and resources which God can use to accomplish His mission.
Abhi Hopper is an example to us all! Abhi, who is part of Carmel’s JOY Ministry, graduated 3 years ago and needed to find new ways to spend his days! Thanks to a cousin and help from his dad, Abhi learned how to create resin art… and realized that his love of art was a gift he could use to serve the Lord.
Despite his sensory challenges that make it a struggle to wear long sleeves or gloves, Abhi “suits” up daily in long sleeves, gloves and a mask to make his art. He puts aside what would normally be a struggle to use his gift of color selection and mixing to create coasters and candle holders which he sells on Facebook - not for the latest gadget but for God’s work among the nations.
His first round of designs raised over $800 for Bible Translation. His latest work is being sold to raise money for Carmel’s upcoming mission trip to South Asia. But that’s not the end. Abhi is already planning how to serve God and the nations next through his art.
How does God want to be at work in you to accomplish His mission? There are many ways you can serve the Nations. One way could be going on one of our short-term mission trips next year. Join us tomorrow night at 6:30pm in the Worship Center to learn more.
