USCCA Supports Communities of Faith Attacked in Texas, N.Y.
During religious services on Sunday, Dec. 29, 2019, a man clad in black with a shotgun hidden under his coat opened fire on the parishioners of the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas. Thanks to the training, vigilance and heroic bravery of the church’s security team, the attacker was stopped in just six seconds.
Sadly, this was hardly the first attack on a community of faith in December. In fact, New York City’s Jewish community experienced acts of violence and hatred nearly every single day of the same week.
Raising Funds, Spreading Hope
After these tragedies, USCCA staff felt a powerful determination to do something to both help these communities and demonstrate their gratitude for those willing to defend them.
So that’s exactly what they set out to do.
