Carol Owens Ford
President
Carol Owens Ford is a native of Washington, D.C. She is the Senior Executive
Assistant of the Greater Mount Calvary Holy Church where her brother, Dr.
Alfred A. Owens, Jr., is the pastor. Carol's organizational skills and
professional skills are a significant key to Greater Mount Calvary's growth
and success.
Over forty years ago at the early age of 14 years old, Carol gave her life
to Christ. Although she has not dotted every I or crossed every T, she has
learned how to hold herself together because falling apart was not an
option...knowing "All things work together for the good of those who love
the Lord and have been called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
Her quiet and unassuming manner does not speak to the many trials that she
has overcome in her years of walking with the Lord. It does, however, speak
of her determination to overcome any and all of life's obstacles with the
help of the Lord. Her personal relationship with God has given her an
unfailing strength, and through her example, she has taught others to go
through the trials of life with confidence, dignity, courage and joy. She is
an anointed woman of God who has been raised up "for such a time as this."
Carol is a counselor, spiritual advisor, an excellent moderator, a teacher
and an author; but above all else, she is a woman with an underlying
commitment to the Lord. She is an instructor under the Calvary Bible
Institute, an entity of the Greater Mount Calvary Holy Church where she
teaches classes such as "Holy Burnout, Conquering Stress, Struggles and
Setbacks, Church Administration and Nurturing Determine Women of God." She
is a woman who's life truly exemplifies Christian character and faith in the
living Christ.
She is the mentor for sixteen young women, the Co-Coordinator for Calvary's
Annual Women's Conference and the Vice President of S.O.W
Carol has served as the keynote speaker at the Billy Graham Campsite and has
appeared as a guest on "The Right Side" talk show with Armstrong Williams
and was featured on BET's "Heart and Soul", where she shared her story
nationwide and touched the hearts of millions. She has also been a guest on
DC Cable 26, Interfaith Voice Radio Talk Show (Washington D.C), Women Need
To Know (WGTM Trinidad, West Indies) and BBC Local Radio (United Kingdom).
In September 2005, Carol served as the "inspirational speaker" for the
Congressional Black Caucus in Washington D.C where she spoke to over 2500
men and women.
Her travels have taken her to London, Paris, Italy, Trinidad, The Bahamas,
Barbados and Brazil.
She is a graduate of the Cortez Peters Business College and the Calvary
Bible Institute. She is the proud mother of three grown children; Tiffany,
Tonia and Taquarius and the proud grandmother of four, Kristiona, Gianni,
Cassidy and Chloe.
"Out!
I'm Hurting But I'm Healing" is Carol Owens Ford's own story of God's grace
and healing from a twenty-five year marriage that ended in divorce. She
freely pours out her heart on these pages, bravely baring her soul in the
belief that her words will help another. "Today is a new day; life is no
longer the same, but life is better." You don't have to hurt. You can be
healed!

Carol Owens Ford is a witness that if you want to stay saved, YOU CAN! Her
favorite scripture is "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but
this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching
forth unto those things which are before,

Jesus." Philippians, chapter 3 13 & 14
If You Can Face It.......God Can Fix It!
