Operation Barnabas had a great group of members who worked hard to make the Tucson StandDown, March 16, 2022, a successful event. Those in attendance were Marty, Vicar Steffensen, Mary Jane, Tammy, Mike & Laura, Lynette, and Russ & Dawn. Twenty-five Bibles were handed out and many homemade cookies and eyeglasses. All 50 adult hygiene bags and 15 children’s bags were handed out by 10:30. The most exciting event was the drawing for the 10 quilts that were given out to Veterans. The quilts were made by the ladies at Ascension Lutheran Church who wanted Veterans to receive these special gifts. Jesus was present in all of our activities so we could minister to our Veteran heroes with heartfelt appreciation. Dawn
