The Witness Ministry Team of First Christian Church recently made a $1,000 donation to ADFAC (Aid To Distressed Families of Appalachian Counties Inc.), a press release said. Barbara Wilson, Witness Ministry Team chairperson noted in the presentation that this donation is in memory of Judy Jenkins and in honor of Elizabeth Herbes, long time ADFAC staff member.
Before Jenkins died, she gave a generous donation to the Witness Ministry Team at First Christian Church, giving them authority to distribute her gift as part of their outreach ministry in the community, the press release said.
According to Witness Team members Tom and Pat Row, “we are so excited to be able to give this donation to honor Liz Herbes because she has dedicated her life to helping those in need with concern and support.”
Herbes’s humble response: “I’m so pleased they chose to contribute to ADFAC. It’s truly an honor. Every donation helps ADFAC helps others, and I’m honored by this donation.”
