Using your Pain to Push you Forward: our conversation with Carol Adams
Have you ever been poisoned? Survived a civil war by hiding
in a crawl space in a thatched hut? We haven’t either, but Carol Adams has!
Reading Carol’s book, Grit of Love, we just knew we needed to get her on our podcast as her life resonates with the idea of not giving up. She shares with us her
journey of being a victim of abuse to helping those who have been abused.
Carol’s life was not easy, full of disappointment, hardship, abuse and pain. She has embraced a life of singleness and wears it well.
Carol found that each season of her life was building in her, tools, necessary for her 30 year career of helping the less fortunate in Uganda and building strength in families.
Maybe your not being called to the mission field in Africa, however, Carol’s story reminds us that life is not easy, however, pushing through the pain is the most rewarding for not only ourselves but for those that surround us. If Carol had given up, lives would have been lost. But God has multiplied her faithfulness in pouring into children, that many of her children, now adults are doing incredible things in their communities and this world. She’s a simple and humble lady doing extraordinary things through her NGO Yes Uganda- making this planet a better place. Her whole life is a testimony to resiliency, and we are so honored to learn from her how develop 'onipa'a in our lives.
