Craig Snow - War, West Virginia
Craig Snow currently serves Hope Force as the director of their work in the area around War, West Virginia, in one of the poorest counties in the US. Previously he directed their efforts to bring Christ’s healing to the community of east Biloxi, MS, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The work in West Virginia primarily serves the elderly, handicapped individuals and single mothers. Craig & Beckie now live in Nashville. When disaster strikes (hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes), anywhere around the world, Craig will also be a first responder who lays the groundwork for more volunteers to come and serve. Most recently he responded to the flooding in Vermont following Hurricane Irene. For more information on Hope Force go to www.hopeforce.org For more information on Craig Snow click here.
Operation Back Home
Operation Back Home is a ministry within our church that exists to assist local families of individuals who are currently deployed overseas with the US military. Our assistance may include practical help such as clothing or furniture, or financial assistance. Letters and care packages, including Bibles, have also been sent to soldiers stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq. Items are collected to include in these care packages. The names of soldiers from our area, or connected to our congregation in some way, are posted to encourage prayer and letter writing.
