Dino Kartsonakis
Dino Kartsonakis was born and raised in New York City. At three years of age, Dino came home from church and began picking out the classic hymn, “At the Cross”, on an old upright piano. At age seven, Dino accepted Christ as his Savior, a decision he says was “simple, yet changed everything.”
Dino’s musical talent flourished through years of performing at Glad Tidings Tabernacle, in New York City. Dino received a music degree from the Kings College and then studied at the prestigious Juilliard School of Music, as well as conservatories in Paris, France and Munich, Germany.
For the last 17 years Dino has entertained Branson, Missouri audiences. “Thousands of people attend my shows each year, and no one can say they haven’t heard the Gospel. I could never separate my Christianity from the show. That’s who I am, that’s my life,” he adds.
Dino and his wife Cheryl continue to co-host a highly rated, weekly, television show on the TBN network that has aired for the past 16 years.
Dino’s numerous recordings have received many accolades including a Grammy nomination for “Chariots of Fire”, seven Gospel Music Association Dove Awards, a Telly Award for “The Miracles” project filmed in Israel, and a Grammy nomination for his involvement on the soundtrack of the movie The Apostle, starring Robert Duvall.
Dino’s recent accomplishment was the realization of a lifelong dream: a headline performance at Carnegie Hall, with the Manhattan Pops Orchestra and Chorale. Dino recalls, “As a young boy I would leave school and stand outside of Carnegie Hall dreaming about someday performing there. God has been so faithful to allow this dream to be fulfilled in my life!”
In 2007, Dino once again returned to his New York City upbringing and performed at Lincoln Center during a star studded Christmas Celebration. The stellar evening benefited homeless shelters in the Greater New York City area and was highly publicized. Special guest appearances were made by Natalie Cole, Star Jones, and Mrs. Denzel Washington.

It was at this time Sally built on the foundation of faith she received as a child and began her own personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
God has continued to speak into Sally’s life through His Word, which she has shared at local women’s conferences. For the past 6 years, Sally has been involved in Bible Study Fellowship International as a Discussion Leader. She’s been a leader of Bethany Beach Women’s Ministry for the last 4 years.

Carrie McDonnall
Carrie McDonnall’s story is a compelling and inspiring one. She and her husband David served together
as missionaries in Iraq. In 2004, while serving the Lord there, the couple, along with three coworkers, were
ambushed in the northern city of Mosul. The attackers killed her three friends instantly. David and Carrie
were able to get to medical help where David would eventually succumb to his injuries. Due to the trauma that
her body endured in the attack, Carrie would not find out about her husband’s death until many days later.
Once awakened from her coma, Carrie began a journey she never dreamed she would have to endure.
Carrie’s testimony expands beyond the events of that day and beyond the boundaries of missions. Her
testimony speaks loudly into the heart of the Body of Christ reminding its members to live out our faith
intentionally, allowing it to reach into every aspect of our lives. Carrie’s challenge through the
Holy Spirit reaches to the hurting, the suffering, the grieving, the complacent, the hopeful, the weary, the
lost, and the saved.
The Lord’s work in Carrie’s life reminds us that His Sovereignty reaches into each of our lives,
and it is His Love and Faithfulness that causes us to carry on in the work He has extended to those who are
called children of God.
Carrie’s ministry continues to cross the boundaries of cultures and ages as the Lord leads her ministry
across states and countries, into churches, quiet retreats, chapel services, mission events, prayer meetings,
businesses, and many other places. Carrie McDonnall is the author of Facing Terror (with Forward by Beth Moore),
which describes her and husband David’s life and ministry together. It also chronicles her tragic loss.
She currently lives in Texas and is the founder of Carry On Ministries.
