Michelle Shaver’s story is a true testament to the power of faith and community. When she first arrived at Charis Bible College, she was heartbroken to discover that many of her younger classmates were without a place to call home. Michelle knew that she had to act, but without the financial means to do so, she put her faith in God and waited for His provision. That provision came in the form of Alan, who Michelle met at a Thanksgiving dinner. After witnessing the miraculous healing power of God through Michelle and her classmates, Alan was moved to give back and sow into God’s kingdom. He purchased three homes in Woodland Park, Colorado, which Michelle used to launch the Woodland Park Housing Ministry. With her newfound role as a property manager and business owner, Michelle put her business skills to the test and successfully ran the ministry thanks to all she had learned at the Charis 3rd year business school. The demand for housing was so high that Alan purchased an additional seven homes to accommodate all the students in need. And with the help of another Charis Bible College graduate, Cheri Blair, the ministry continues to provide housing to students who would otherwise be without a place to live. Michelle’s inspiring story is a testament to the power of community, faith, and perseverance. Through her unwavering belief in God’s provision and her dedication to helping her fellow Charis students, she has made a lasting impact on the lives of countless students at Charis Bible College. The rapid growth of Charis Bible College has Charis students like Michelle Shaver and Cheri Blair working hard to facilitate the need.

I was seeing Kara students who had left
their homes left their jobs left their
Apartments left the Comforts that they
had to come here and serve God and they
weren’t living in a kingdom of God they
were living on the streets and in
Walmart in their cars I get calls every
day from around the world of people
saying hey I know God’s calling me to
come I’ve got to come and I’m trusting
God but I know housing is an issue there
by following God’s word to let down his
net Peter caught so many fish that his
vessel alone could not contain it
he needed more Sailors more boats and
stronger Nets just to stay afloat
as Fishers of Men We at Andrew Wommack
ministries and Karis Bible College have
a similar problem
we actually had
550 people who applied to be students
who didn’t show up and we called them up
and followed up to ask why they didn’t
come and 550 there was actually more
than that but 550 people said that the
number one thing that kept them from
being at Karis was lack of dorms lack of
accommodations with more students coming
out to Colorado than ever before and
less homes available in Woodland Park
Andrew has made his student housing
project a top priority but as he lays
the concrete and raises the walls the
Holy Spirit has brought along helpers
the pitch in with the catch Fishers of
Men like third year business school
graduate Michelle shaver who started the
Woodland Park Housing Ministry when she
noticed that many of our young students
couldn’t afford Colorado’s housing what
really struck home to me was our friend
Stuart who came from Massachusetts I had
been couch surfing
trusting God one place to the next I had
no plan B and I had two bags and two
hundred dollars I had a friend who just
dropped me at the Walmart it’s the only
place it’s 24 hours I stayed there
overnight I would sit I just sat on the
bench there in the foyer area where the
the heating ducts come down and make it
a little warmer I’d been trying to save
enough money trying to find a place but
the rent so expensive and it’s hard when
you come here with 200 I was talking to
God and just saying God how can this
can’t be your will because I know the
prosperity message of the Bible and I
know that God wants us all to be living
in the kingdom of God on this Earth
Michelle answered the call to start the
Woodland Park Housing Ministry a
non-profit that would buy homes in
Teller County and rent them exclusively
to our students for a fraction of the
market value but to purchase multiple
properties in the middle of a housing
boom Michelle needed money and lots of
it
God provided him the most unexpected
places we decided to have a Thanksgiving
party here we invited all our Charis
friends and I happened to invite my
sister and she decided to bring her
boyfriend the gentleman’s name was Alan
ramp report and he came to her dinner he
was at a older man in his 60s and not a
believer
and so he’s sitting here at this
Thanksgiving feast you know with all of
these Kara students talking about Jesus
and healing and all of these things that
he’s totally on
unaware of and Alan was listening to it
and he knew he was missing out on
something so as he’s listening he’s
thinking about his back his back issues
and you know had surgeries and still in
a lot of pain well after dinner everyone
was getting ready to leave
and Alan piped up and said
you said you were gonna pray for me for
my healing and they go oh yeah that’s
right let’s pray so they prayed for him
for his back
