The
vision for TSN Ministries began in
1997 when founders Jerry and Tamara Carroll
embarked on a mission’s trip to the
Caribbean island of St. Vincent. While
teaching young girls, Tamara met many poverty
stricken natives, including a six month pregnant
woman with 4 year old twin daughters.
While the children were loving and eager for
education and opportunity, the impoverished
families lacked resources to meet the basic
needs of food, clothing, shelter, and medical
care.
Upon returning to the United States the Carroll’s
devoted their time and energy to finding ways
to help the children of St. Vincent, including
international adoption. However due
to geographic and financial constraints, long
term help to St. Vincent was difficult at
best. Filled with the desire to help
children who were in desperate need, Jerry
and Tamara realized they didn’t have
to look to the Caribbean to find abused, neglected,
and abandoned children. Instead
they began to focus on children located in
their home town within Prince George’s
County, Maryland. |
