Gospel singer Terri Carroll announced her newest partnership March 26, 2006 with Fresh Start for Women, Inc., a 501c3 organization that works to rebuild the self-esteem of women that have been victims of domestic violence. Said Terri, “I had the opportunity to minister to women last June at one of Fresh Start’s retreats and saw first hand the positive impact Fresh Start is making in women’s lives. I wanted to do something more than just share my own story and minister through song so I have pledged that a portion of the sales from my latest CD, ‘Holding Out 4 God’ will go to this worthwhile organization.”
Janice G. Pettigrew, Founder and Executive Director of Fresh Start for Women applauded Terri’s commitment to the organization’s mission and vision.
Fresh Start for Women, Inc. is a ministry of healing and renewal which provides a safe and supportive environment in which women are free to share and learn on the road to healing.
Fresh Start for Women, Inc. encourages women to reach higher than their present circumstances by accepting their past, realizing their present and focusing on their future. Said Janice, “We want women to understand and believe that one chapter of their lives does not define who they are. We can then re-direct them towards a more positive and brighter future. Our retreats and seminars are all focused on this goal.”
Terri’s debut album on CGI Records entitled “Terri Carroll” earned her two nominations at the 14th Annual Stellar Awards, no small feat for an artist coming right out the gate. Unfortunately CGI suffered bankruptcy but that has not stopped Terri.
