Eldred Sawyer
Executive Director
Eldred Sawyer grew up in Pleasant Grove and knows first-hand the hardships of poverty, addiction and fatherlessness. His testimony grew into a passion for bringing others to complete restoration through Jesus Christ. As Co-Founder of CareCenter Ministries, Eldred has more than thirty years of hands-on experience in discipleship, mentoring and missionary work. He has spent more than a quarter-century leading a dedicated group of missionaries to serve the inner-city of Dallas. Eldred serves on the Board of Directors for four separate non-profit organizations. Additionally, he was selected to serve on the City of Dallas Planning and Urban Development Advisory Committee for the Pemberton Hill Strategic Action Plan.
Eldred, affectionately known as "Papa" and his loving wife, Jeanmarie, are proud parents and grandparents to their beautiful family.
