Those who know the Carusos best say that they are…
Companions
Partners in life and in ministry, Pete and Bev Caruso demonstrate the Christ-life in their relationships with their three children and eight grandchildren, and with those they have pastored and discipled into fruitfulness. “It is rare to see couples who love one another like you. Your happiness, your peace, and love are examples to me,” Carina, a student in Italy
Communicators
Pete and Bev bring Christ’s teaching to life through first-hand accounts of Biblical principles being applied in everyday situations. Pete is often sought out for mentoring by other ministers. One wrote, “Your life has been a model of integrity, compassion and love for others. I often find myself drawing from lessons I’ve learned from your example.” Bev’s writing includes several books plus articles in Discipleship Journal, The Christian Communicator, Ministries Today, and others.
Commissioned
Pete and Bev pioneered and pastored two churches, established a Christian school, and helped start four other churches. They have ministered in over 40 countries, speaking in churches of many denominations, universities, prisons, Youth With A Mission, and Teen Challenge, etc. “You have made a wonderful contribution to SCC by determining to share your wisdom and experience with us,” Don Baldwin, Chairman, Department of Church Ministries, Vanguard University (formerly Southern California College).
Committed
Pete and Bev believe God has equipped them to inspire and to help this generation to reconcile the lost to God, and to bring restoration within families and groups of believers. “Some people really stand out. You have made a permanent imprint on my mind and spirit because of the way you uniquely portray the Lord by the way you reflect Him in your actions and life,” Eric Olson.
