Storys Will Report as The Salvation Army leaders in Henderson at end of June
Henderson, KY (June 14, 2022)— Moving to a new city is a way of life for Salvation Army officers and their families. As dedicated pastors and leaders, Salvation Army officers serve wherever their skills are most needed. The average assignment in any one location is 3-5 years, so when Captain Benny Carringer of The Salvation Army in Henderson received a call from Salvation Army leadership saying it was time to pack up and move, it was not completely unexpected.
After three years serving here in Henderson, the Carringers will make the move to Johnson City, Tennessee, where they will serve as the new leaders of The Salvation Army in that community. Their last day of service here in Henderson will be Sunday, June 19, 2022.
“We know that God has great plans for The Salvation Army in Henderson, and we are grateful that we were appointed here,” said Captain Carringer. “While we look forward to what God has in store for us in Johnson City we will deeply miss our friends and partners in Henderson. We have been blessed to work among people truly dedicated to serving others and would like to thank the donors and supporters of The Salvation Army, and particularly our Advisory Board members for their hard work and commitment during our time here.”
The Carringers, along with their son Judah, came to Henderson from Wheeling, West Virginia, in June, 2019. During their time in Henderson, Captains Carringer increased the depth of the social services provided to residents and worked to improve the finances for The Salvation Army by stabilizing the Family Store and stretching donor dollars as far as they could.
The Salvation Army of Henderson will receive new leaders, Majors Stephen and Sandra Story, on Sunday, June 26, 2022. They bring many years of experience and will arrive, with their family, from their most recent appointment in Nashville.
