Dámaris and her sisters sang together for years.  Then, marriages, re-locations and families happened, so now, unfortunately, it is rare for them to all be in the same room.  It is even rarer for them to get a chance to sing.  Thankfully, our dear friend Jackie got it all on her phone!

​At a retreat for Manhattan Grace Tabernacle, JoAnne Hammerly, Dámaris Carbaugh and Deborah Rivera spontaneously grabbed some mics and did a beautiful rendition of "Now I Belong to Jesus."  Enjoy this rare opportunity.  Video credit J. Oberst

We just returned from a women's conference in a beautiful church in Monterrey, Mexico.  Dámaris shared the platform with another Mexican speaker now living in San Diego.  Dámaris spoke on the 23rd Psalm in two sessions... in Spanish, of course.  Below is the link to listen to the sessions, and a little slide show.  The church, La Vid, is pastored by a childhood friend, Rev. David Orozco, and the women's ministry is headed up by his wife, Myrthala.  If you understand Spanish, enjoy listening.  Otherwise, just enjoy the photos...

In 1980 my husband found a good thing -- a wife who caused him to cry out for help! God has used him, like no other, for my good. #GodGaveMeRod

Dámaris spoke at a sweet women's conference this morning at Grace Mennonite Church in Lansdale, PA.  Borrowing from the brilliant Bible scholar, author and teacher, Warren W. Wiersbe, Dámaris elaborated on his definition of ministry.  In his wonderful book, On Being a Servant of God, Warren Wiersbe wrote, "Ministry takes place when divine resources meet human needs through loving channels to the glory of God."  In her own way, Dámaris walked us through each section of that definition and showed us what that can look like each day of our lives.

From Him, Through Him, For Him
Recently, at our home church, Manhattan Grace Tabernacle, Dámaris was asked to teach.  Including a quick overview of the first 11 chapters of Romans, her message focused on "For from Him and through Him and for Him are all things." Romans 11:36a

Listen here and be blessed!
