| SWAT Photos | SWAT (Servants With Appropriate Tools) is a cooperative ministry with LOVE INC, the Senior Citizen Advocacy, the Salvation Army, and several other agencies and churches in the Tri-cities area. Volunteers, gifted in carpentry, design and build handicap ramps for wheelchair bound low income individuals in the Tri-cities area. The purpose is to meet both a physical need and a spiritual need by serving in Jesus name. The SWAT team has been building an average of 6 ramps per year for the last 7 years. Ramps are built in a single afternoon/evening and are ready for use when the team leaves the site. It is a great experience to see someone who has been housebound for weeks or even months, come outside their home and down the ramp for the first time! Their joy in their new freedom is a great encouragement for the SWAT team. One ramp recipient told the team, “at least now if the house catches on fire, I have a chance of getting my (wheelchair bound) husband out!” If you are in need of a ramp or know someone who is in need, please contact the church office at 847-2540. |
