Description

What happens when divine inspiration breaks through the ordinary routines of life?

Wendi and Harold Park, founders of CareImpact, share their remarkable journey of faith and community building. A series of divine "Kairos moments" led them from busy careers to founding a transformative organization that bridges the gap between churches and social services. Driven by unexpected dreams about adoption, a church service in Korea, and the unwavering support of friends and strangers, they left stable jobs and ventured into a new calling with unwavering trust in God.

Discover how their personal experiences, including accommodating those in need and adjusting to new family dynamics, have fuelled their mission to foster integration and support for vulnerable individuals.
