From Addiction Recovery to Kingdom Purpose: Felicia Carter’s Mission in Waterloo
What happens when God takes a story of recovery, obedience, and faithfulness and turns it into a mission that helps others reclaim their lives?
In this Partners in Ministry episode, Dan Smith sits down with Felicia Carter, CEO of the Center of Attention in Waterloo, Iowa. Felicia shares how her ministry serves people impacted by the opioid epidemic through peer recovery coaching, recovery support services, transportation, clothing, hygiene resources, and a safe, non-judgmental space for people working to rebuild their lives.
Her story is powerful. After 35 years of walking with Christ, Felicia reflects on how God prepared her step by step for the work she is doing today. She also shares the incredible story of how the former Quakerdale campus became part of the vision for expanding recovery services and creating what she describes as the recovery capital of Waterloo.
