BIBLE PROJECT
Hi. I'm Dr. Carolyn Terada and as a pastor, Bible scholar, teacher, counselor, and coach; I am teaching Christians belonging to churches in Pakistan, Zimbabwe, and other developing countries who desire to have a closer relationship with the Lord, how to achieve an intimate relationship with God the Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit.
In mentoring and teaching in developing countries, relationships, and trust is built. Many pastors and churches live on a small amount of money. Anything extra goes to help others. Children are happy when they receive a notebook, water bottle, sandals, or blanket.
Churches and families often take on the feeding, clothing, and educating of children. Widows receive clothing and medications. Some churches dig wells in poorer villages. Many minister and work as a family.
There are many needs in developing countries. Most developing countries do not have the social services such as developed countries.
- No free education
- Few orphanages
- No socialized medicine
- Ways of taking care of widows
- Programs for poor people
- Poor water quality
- Water shortages
- Sanitation is sometimes an issue
- Some countries continue with slavery; to release a slave in Pakistan is USD $800.
- Many pastors face persecution. Persecution, beatings, and sometimes death is normal in developing countries.
Bible needs from India to Africa
In developing countries, governments often do not care for the poor, orphans, widows, etc., as developed countries do. They close their eyes to slavery. Numerous Christian slaves need to be freed.
By building relationships with pastors, bishops, and leaders, I have discovered that many churches in developing countries do not have denomination or international support.
Pastors’ homes and churches become a home to many orphans. They are fed, clothed, and schooled. Often children of single mothers are included in the education. Pastors go to outlying villages and evangelize. Churches will raise, feed, clothe, and support these pastors. Church attendees and Bible school students often do not have Bibles.
Evangelism, even among persecution, is a central focus. Bibles cannot be sent from abroad due to high taxes and other reasons. One ministry takes a 15-hour train ride to the place of purchase. I have checked sources of Bibles, pricing, and remittance of funds.
My conclusion was to connect people in developed countries directly to various ministries. Although Bibles are their high priority, ministries have many other needs. Therefore, I have listed churches and ministries for direct contacting them.
They are doing the ‘hard yards.’ Let’s help them!
Below are ministries I know that focus on the education and care of children, widows and the poor.
Please contact them directly. All but one ministry lives in outlying areas where incomes are below average.

"Life’s Journey can be very challenging and appear impossible. In a time when my life no longer made sense, Dr. Carolyn’s teaching and encouragement helped me stand and help others.
Thank you very much!"
Val Augustin

“Carolyn has been a friend since 2013. When I speak to Carolyn I feel encouraged and uplifted by her words. Her many years of soaking in God’s presence and ruminating on His Word form solid foundations for the insights she brings, inspired in the moment by the Holy Spirit. She reminds me that praising God is the key to a breakthrough, and she is right. With Carolyn’s mentoring and coaching I am making rapid progress towards God’s truly abundant life of freedom and assurance. I highly recommend Carolyn as a coach and mentor."

"We have only met in person once several years ago. But because of online technology, I consider you a dear friend.
When Covid attempted to invade the Footstool of God, I found comfort in your writings. It is apparent that you have learned the secret of letting God lead and direct your steps through this earthly journey. You have not only written words of hope and comfort from a Biblical perspective but your knowledge of the Word is deep and applicable. It seems in each writing some unbeknown insights are offered. Holy Spirit has gifted you with teaching eternal truths.
Being a woman of God also makes you a woman of prayer. Through the years you have graciously shared my prayer burdens by intercession ministry. Thank you. May God give you a bountiful harvest as you reach out online to bless, teach and heal."

"I have had the privilege of knowing Carolyn Terada for approximately 15 years. I first met Carolyn on the basis of sharing common business interests namely, to hopefully bring better health, healing and hope to many people suffering with various health needs and to bring support for many pain sufferers who were in need of healing.
Carolyn and her husband developed products that have the ability to heal and restore the body. I was impressed by their dedication both to mankind and God.
I have found Carolyn to be a very faithful friend. She is always eager to give in every way she can, and I find her to be faithful and trustworthy, not just in business but also in her willingness to give to others. What Carolyn possesses in character and integrity is a rare gift that is very much needed today. I hope and pray Carolyn will be given her greatest desire, to love and serve God and to love others as God loves her."
