Carolyn Carney

Prayer Coordinator

With over 30 years of service with InterVarsity, Carolyn loves to witness and encourage people growing to become more like Christ. She’s discovered that intentionally choosing to be a minority—through living in South Africa, serving with IFES, being part of a black congregation and an adoptive Cuban family—has enabled her to listen more and talk less. She currently lives in Jersey City, New Jersey.
