Carmel, Inc. facilitates youth oriented social and civic outreach workshops.
Our vision is threefold: To impact our community and make a noticeable difference by providing shelter, food, disaster relief and much more to those in need. Next, we want to impact our neighboring cities and states, thus, helping us to spread the love of God, not just through words, but through demonstration. Lastly, we want to globalize our vision. Our overall goal is to not just go to church, but be the church that God designed us to be. In short, we want to solve the problems of homelessness, hunger, lack of resources, and whatever the need is. Here at Mt. Carmel Community Development, we are passionate about making a change in our community by changing the lives of the people who live here. If we can effectively meet the needs of our neighbors, our vision is to help other communities, cities, states and countries to meet the needs of their people as well.

Archbishop Mayo exemplifies the true character of an archbishop in his marriage and he demonstrates his love and dedication to GOD through his love and dedication to his wife. The lessons he has learned over the course of his life and his marriage have been instrumental in helping many couples to remain married and get over the hurdles that present themselves to couples. He is passionate about the survival of the marriage unit, and this can be witnessed throughout the pages of his debut book, A Husband’s Guide to Staying Married.
