CARY CAIN

From her childhood until now, Cary Cain’s life finds its center in service. Raised the daughter of an evangelical minister, Cary spent most of her early years in local churches throughout the Southwestern United States; in these small, tight-knit faith communities, she gained teaching and training from godly role models and learned the value of Christian service. From volunteering in church nurseries, to teaching Sunday school classes, to participating in youth mission trips, Cary finds great joy and fulfillment when sowing into the lives of others.

 In recent years, Cary’s heart turned toward international missions and to work with the disenfranchised and underrepresented. A mission trip to Haiti opened her eyes and her heart to what becomes possible when a group of God’s people join forces to create organizations focused on helping those in need.

 A graduate of Mary Hardin-Baylor University, Cary brings over two decades of experience as an entrepreneur, operations officer, project manager and bookkeeper to her role with For Just One. Her heart for service, along with her management skills and expertise in business operations, make her work with For Just 1 a true labor of love.
