I am so excited to announce a new member of our Wives of Faith leadership team! Jessica Crow has agreed to serve in our ministry as our new MemberCare Director. This is a very important position on our team and we have been prayerfully seeking the right someone to fill it for quite a while now.

Jessica has been involved in Wives of Faith as a member for the past couple of years, participating in our blog carnivals, and she has a huge heart and desire to encourage other military wives. As MemberCare Director, her responsibilities will include connecting with all of our members and leading a team of volunteers in carrying out important practical ministry opportunities. If our Prayer Ministry is the heart of Wives of Faith, then our MemberCare area is the hands and feet of WoF and we are thrilled to welcome Jessica to the team! Please be in prayer for Jessica and the rest of our team as we take the next couple of months to put into place what we hope will be some great helps that will meet the needs of our Wives of Faith, whether that’s encouraging someone through a birthday card, a new baby or a deployment. You can reach Jessica at jessicac@wivesoffaith.org. Please prayerfully consider how you can be involved in the new MemberCare team, reaching and supporting your sister military wives!

I’ve asked Jessica to share a little more about herself (and take a moment to check out her cute blog!)…

My name is Jessica Crow.  I have been married to Jason Crow for 9 years.  Jason has been in the Army Reserves for 8 years.  He has completed 2 overseas deployments as well as numerous stateside assignments.  We are currently preparing for our 3rd deployment.  I have 2 children whom I stay at home with.  Jackson is 5 years old and Madeline is 3 years old.  I have a degree in psychology from the University of South Alabama.  Prior to having children, I worked as a Case Manager at our local Mental Health Center where I focused mostly on the dual diagnosis (mental illness and substance abuse)  Though I no longer work at the Mental Health Center, I still serve on their Human Rights Committee.  My family and I are active in our church, Grace Fellowship, where I teach Sunday School.  Aside from involvement in church and the Human Rights Committee, I am also an active member of the FRG for my husband’s unit. 

Being an Army Reserve wife, there is often a tendency to feel like I am the only one.  I have a strong passion for reaching out to other military spouses of all branches of services.  Not only to connect us, but to encourage all of us in our faith and spiritual walk.  Military life is challenging enough with or without deployments, that is why I want to be involved and offer support and friendship to these women.  Just  as stated in the Wives of Faith mission statement, I want to help women make connections with other and grow in their walks with God as they face challenges of military life.

I am passionate about military wives.  I am committed to serving them.  I am excited about this opportunity with Wives of Faith to take my passion for military wives and commitment to serve them.  I look forward to growing and establishing a community of  military wives that can encourage and lean on each other.
