SERVING IN : El Salvador, Central America
MINISTRY FOCUS : Evangelism, Mercy Ministry

BIO

The Carmack Family is called to “serve the underserved” in Santa Ana, El Salvador.

The country of El Salvador in Central America is roughly the same size as the state of Massachusetts, yet it has one of the highest murder rates in the world. It can be breathtakingly beautiful… and heartbreakingly sorrowful. Gangs, crime and corruption are common. Poverty is a way of life for many and opportunity is scarce. There is no government support system, no safety net; but one look in the eyes of the children and you are reminded of how much they matter.

The Carmacks are partnering with missionaries Kenton and Eunice Moody to reach those in need, share the hope of salvation in Jesus Christ, and let the little ones know how much they matter to God. They are connected to several ministries, including the Hosanna School, the Center for Hope, La Vida Libre (Living Free), and La Puerta Abierta (The Open Door Church).

“Just telling someone you love them can change a life,” says Tracy. “It’s something they may not ever hear or feel from their families. If we can tell one child, or one family, or one neighborhood that they are loved, then it’s worth it.”

Will you consider being a part of their ministry? Thank you for your prayers and support!

BIO

We are the Perekotiys, a Ukrainian and American family! We have been entrusted with four beautiful children: Chambers (2013), Lev (2015), Mila (2016), and Remington (2019). Our story began when we met in Ukraine in 2008. After living on the Gulf Coast of Alabama, we packed up our gang in 2018 and moved to Odesa, Ukraine, a beautiful, historic port city on the Black Sea. While visiting family in Alabama in 2022, the full-scale invasion broke out in Ukraine. We decided to remain in the US for the 2022-23 school year while supporting our partners in Ukraine through the War Relief Fund. In August 2023, we launched back overseas to share the Gospel among Ukrainians. We are based out of Bucharest, Romania, where we can serve refugees and be close to the Ukrainian border.

Through the War Relief Fund we have sent medical aid, vehicles, food, and education supplies to those in need. The needs of the vulnerable will only increase as this crisis continues, and we are committed to partnering with our friends and partners to meet those needs. We pray to use these resources to rebuild Ukraine when the war ends.

Our heartbeat has always been caring for the vulnerable and fatherless. Our vision is to see Christ proclaimed as we serve vulnerable children and families with national partners and churches. We also serve the unreached deaf community, and provide training and trauma resources for families and volunteers. Thank you for journeying with us!
