The Faces of Our Organization

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.
