A member of a local church that is serving in Iraq is expected to return home in the next two months.

weaveriraq20.jpgUS Air Force Sgt. John Weaver is currently serving in Iraq. Sgt. Weaver is originally from Jay and currently lives in Pensacola with his wife Lisa and three girls, Krista, Randi, and Starla.

He and his family are very active and faithful members of Ray’s Chapel, and the family makes the drive several times a week to the church. Over the past several months, the church has continued to support Sgt. Weaver in prayer and with care packages from home.

    I want to give thanks to my family and friends, my church family, and all who have supported me and the men and women of the armed forces. Now more than ever, prayer is needed not only for the safety of our armed forces, but more importantly their salvation. I love you and miss you very much. I hope to see you in about 4-5 weeks. Your brother in christ, John Weaver, TSgt, USAF
