Carter Challenge
Over the 40 years President Carter taught Sunday School at Maranatha, he concluded each lesson with a challenge for all in attendance to do one good thing for one other person. Whether making the time to call a friend who is sad or lonely, mowing the lawn for an elderly community member, or simply baking a cake for neighbor, through one simple gesture of love President Carter suggested together we can change the world.

The President Carter Challenge
Point of Inflection
I am an Author of Evolutionary Policies, Human Rights Activist and a man of faith. In 2001 I developed a proposal for world peace and sustainable development as a response to Sept 11 events and to prevent a major conflict of Global Proportions. By 2005 I contacted the Carter Center. I needed protection and support because of political pressure and opposition to my work.
Proud to attend Sunday School and Church
I have attended Church here 3 times. The first was my husband and myself. I felt welcomed by the Church and the town. It was enlightening and a learning experience to attend Sunday School taught by President Carter. I brought 2 of my grandsons the 2nd time. It was a tremendous witness to them to hear biblical teaching from a former President.
Boy Scout Troop 16
On two occasions, we have been lucky enough to take our BSA scout troop to Church with President and Mrs. Carter. He mentioned to the group that he was once a scoutmaster and showed a genuine interest in the youth.
Rosalynn Carter was the perfect partner for Jimmy Carter
Six years ago I had never met Rosalynn nor Jimmy Carter. Then I meet them in person celebrating an anniversary of The Carter Center and my life was transformed. They are big, bold dreamers. They encouraged me to dream huge. Jimmy Carter conveyed that I am meant for significance through the Holy Spirit in ministry to others.
