Floyd & Christina Peters
For some time, we had seen the need to reach out in our community to the Veterans and wounded warriors. Eight years ago, the Lord opened a door to witness to the Peters family. They were soon filled with the Holy Ghost and baptized in Jesus Name!
As they began to grow in the Lord, we noticed a passion that was surfacing in their lives. Floyd, a twenty-four year veteran, had a burden for the brave men and women of the military. Sis. Christina, also a New Life Nursery volunteer, was raised in a military home. Their background gave them a unique insight into the needs of service men and women.
We appointed them to serve and since that time our Veteran’s Ministry has blossomed. Each year on Memorial Day, Independence Day, and especially Veteran’s Day, NLC celebrates the men and women who have served our country. Our Veteran’s Service is a highlight of the year and currently holds the record attendance for New Life Church in sixteen years of existence! They organize and orchestrate a Veteran's Fishing Tournament every year as well.
In addition to these services, Floyd and Christina faithfully provide access to the pertinent and often illusive information on benefits for which our veterans are entitled. Thanks goes out to the Peters family for their creative, informative, and consistent dedication to the veterans and wounded warriors of Jasper, Newton, and Tyler Counties!
