RICKY E. CARTER

As a native of Osyka, Mississippi, I have accumulated fifty-nine years of life experience and possess a profound passion for ministry. Being the youngest among four siblings, I have always embraced my role as a pastor, dedicating thirty-two years to serving others and forty-one years to the ministry as a whole. Since a young age, I have recognized God's calling on my life to preach, and this calling has been the driving force behind my achievements. With a results-oriented mindset, I consistently exceed targets and thrive in fast-paced, ever-changing environments. My unique combination of strategic thinking and hands-on experience allows me to deliver impactful solutions that enhance organizational performance.
