Pastor Marty Davey shared the following announcement about a member of the GC Jacksonville congregation in Florida, U.S. She assisted two other bystanders to pull a trapped person from a rolled over vehicle.
Our very own Jasmine Daricaud was recognized and awarded by the city of Jacksonville for her bravery. Such an example of God’s purpose, favor, and love!
In Jasmine’s own words,
On Tuesday, I got an award from the city. And I have imposter’s syndrome. In my mind, if someone needs help, you help them to the best of your abilities. So, while I feel this was courageous and a little careless, I don’t feel like it was heroic. My husband’s life was saved [in 2023] because three guys put themselves in harm’s way. So, if I can help someone even a fraction of that, I’ll be eternally grateful.
Jeff Broadnax, U.S. Director, shared this announcement about the pastor of GC Cleveland in Ohio, U.S.
I want to take a moment to celebrate our sister and fellow pastor, Tamar Gray! She was selected Teacher of the Year 2024-2025 in the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District. Praise God, Tamar. You shine bright for Jesus and are a fantastic leader and teacher. We love you.
In Tamar’s own words,
I have been teaching for more than 40 years, 34 in this district. This is just a huge honor that I know is a blessing from God. I am proud to be a public-school educator alongside many hard-working teachers and staff. As I said in my acceptance speech, I share this with all of those who show up, give 100% and speak into the lives of our kids every day.
