Carolynn Sharp was raised in a Christian home and was saved at the age of five. She attended a Christian school from grades five through twelve and then continued her studies at the Bible Institute where her father taught, after the Lord called her to full time missions during her high school junior year. The Lord also confirmed her childhood desire to become a nurse to be part of His plan for her. After Bible college, she received the training in the area of nursing, including studies in tropical diseases, operating room nursing, hospital work and traumatic events. Carolynn spent the first twenty years of her missionary career in a medical ministry in Brazil.

In 2002, the Lord allowed her to see a ministry in Liberia and not long thereafter, He confirmed a change of ministry. For many years, Carolynn shared the Gospel in Liberia while working as the clinic training coordinator and consultant in the area of clinic organization, administration and resources for that ministry. She also worked with a pregnancy crisis center, which opened in July of 2008, after realizing that the generation that was raised during the civil war was brought up with confused morals, philosophies of life and lacking Biblical principals. Currently Carolynn has transitioned her ministry to the point where she is not only ministering in Liberia but also in her local church in British Columbia, Canada. She has been a faithful servant of the Lord for many years. She will continue to minister in Liberia as well as her residence in Canada.
