After the Carrolls left Haiti in 1980 many of the pastors were discouraged and some of the churches were closed due to lack of financial support. In 1995, a couple from Clarksville, TN, Rev. Richard Turner and his wife, Wilma, took over the Carrolls post in Haiti. When the Turners arrived in Haiti to their new home, an embargo was in force and many people were starving in the streets. When the missionaries preached, hundreds came forward to be saved. During one service there were 300 people saved. The church grew rapidly and soon had over 1,000 in attendance at Mirebalais. With no running water and little electricity, the Turners faced many hardships but have remained faithful.
