Chosen Children Ministries seeks to make Christ know and bring Life-Transformation to men, women, and children in Nicaragua. Our primary focus is church planting. We currently have 26 churches in Nicaragua where we serve families who live on about $2/day. We mobilize mission teams from all over the U.S. to provide evangelism, discipleship, homes, latrines, nutrition programs, education, business development, a 3-year Bible Institute, freshwater wells, medical care, child sponsorship, and more. When mission teams are not present, our staff of over 50 in Nicaragua continues the ministry.

We are Larry and Cathy Lawrence. We lost our 14 year old son Christopher to suicide on January 22, 2019. Shortly after our tragedy, we determined we would do everything in our power to help other parents and their children to not have to experience what we went through, and began a search to find a way to help.

Our search led us to Hope Squads, founded by Dr. Greg Hudnall, in Provo, Utah. Hope Squads are groups of students in a school, nominated by their peers as someone they could go to if they had a problem. Hope Squads are not trained as counselors, but become the eyes and ears of the school, looking for at risk youth due to bullying, failing grades, lonliness, signs of self-harm or suicide. They then direct the student to a counselor or mental health person.

Our vision is to have Hope Squads in every middle and high school in South Carolina. We are beginning with two schools in the Boiling Springs area. Each school must have at least one Advisor, usually a school counselor, mental health person, or a teacher.

We are very excited to report that on October 9, 2020, we held an Advisor Training at High Point Academy, where 9 Advisors were trained for HPA and Boiling Springs Middle School. Both schools will begin Hope Squads this year.

Hope Squads have been shown to change the atmosphere of a school, and destigmatize the discussion of mental health, as well as saving lives.

Latest update, is that we will have at least 5 more schools beginning Hope Squads for the 2021-22 school year. Four are in District 2 of Spartanburg County, and one is in Greenville County.

Our mission is to inspire seniors to live with purpose by honoring God in their latter years.

In the United States, approximately 10,000 Baby Boomers are turning 65 every day. This means the population of Americans aged 65 and over will jump from 35 million to 71.5 million between the years 2010 and 2030. The number of men and women 85 and older will increase by over 70 percent! This trend has enormous implications for every segment of our society, including the church. That's why we must begin now to prepare for what many Christian leaders are calling one of the fastest growing mission fields in history.

Elder Source Senior Ministries exists to facilitate senior ministry by distributing senior-friendly Christian resources to senior care centers, creating opportunities that encourage and edify seniors to be productive and spiritually fertile, while building partnerships with like-minded organizations, churches, and individuals that will value and honor seniors.

FACES of Total Victory is a non-profit, non-denominational ministry designed to make a difference in the lives of Female Athletes and Coaches Engaged in Sports. Through personal relationships with the coaches and athletes and surveys taken during our team Bible Studies, we identify issues and struggles they are facing and meet those needs in an uplifting and safe environment.

OUR VISION is to see Female Athletes and Coaches Engaged in Sports experience total victory in every area of their lives. “Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57                                                        

OUR MISSION is to equip female coaches and athletes emotionally, mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually by providing specific events and resources designed to meet those needs.

FACES of Total Victory is led by women who have a diverse and extensive background in women’s sports and a passion to see athletes and coaches experience this victory in all areas of their lives. The ministry is based on the model of Jesus in His ministry to women: Jesus valued women, always had a purpose, wanted to please the Father, spent time preparing for His ministry, loved and sought out non-believers and spent time with them, listened to their needs, and met immediate needs before beginning to address their spiritual needs in ways specific to each person.

FACES of Total Victory is designed to Educate, Encourage, Motivate, and Inspire. We achieve this goal by focusing on three main types of events:

We plan and provide Large Conferences for female athletes and coaches in three separate age divisions; Elementary School, Middle and High School, and College. These include age-appropriate breakout sessions led by professionals on topics including Self Esteem, Identity and Value, Social Media, Bullying, Peer Pressure, Anxiety, Depression, Suicide, Human Trafficking, Body Image, Eating Disorders, and Life After Sports. Our conference ends with a motivating and inspirational challenge from nationally recognized women in the sports world.

We provide Luncheons, Events, and Retreats specifically for female coaches to encourage and equip them as they lead and influence the girls they coach. This includes a “Moms Who Coach” support group.

We provide and lead Team Dynamics Development for individual teams, meeting with them and using biblical principles and resources to guide and encourage the teams.

We are very excited to be in the process of publishing the FACES of Total Victory Devotional Bible to give to all who participate in these events. This will be the first Devotional Bible with content included specifically for female athletes and coaches, as all the devotions are being written by women who competed at the professional, Olympic, or collegiate level. This will be a huge resource for the ministry, putting God’s word in the hands of literally thousands of girls and women.

Mission: To show God's love through serving those in need by repairing homes, assisting with youth development, and empowering communities to care for their own.
