HBF hosted Dr. Doug Carragher, director of Armed Forces Baptist Missions, for a PTSD Workshop on Saturday, Dec. 2. In addition, Carragher delivered messages at the 9:00, 10:30 and 6:00 p.m. services on Sunday, Dec. 3.

More than 70 people attended the special workshop on Saturday, with people from HBF, the community and surrounding towns attending. Carragher’s message focused on how to minister to people dealing with effects of PTSD, which includes veterans, law enforcement officers, or anyone who has been forced to deal with a traumatic situation in their life. Attendees received a notebook as well as Carragher's book, "Wounded Sprits," which outlines a Biblical approach to ministering to people with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
