We are blessed to welcome Ambar Thiman to the CARC family

“My name is Ambar Thiman and I am the new CARC secretary. I have known of this ministry for over ten years. Kristine Melius was my youth leader, and those were one of the best times I’ve had in God.

I am continuing my studies to become a primary school teacher with minor studies in creative writing and music. I am very excited to be working with all of you and help in any way I can to bring forth the great things God has in store for this ministry!”
