NASHVILLE, Tenn.–– Conference presidents of UM Men and conference prayer advocates took time out from their March 5-8 meetings to deliver copies of Strength for Service to God and Community to a local fire department.

L.W. Smith, president of the non-denominational Strength for Service organization, presented books of daily devotions to Stan Pewitt, captain of the station.

Following the event, the men had the opportunity to chat with some of the firefighters prior to some of them leaving on a fire call.

Wayne Prejean, president of Louisiana Conference UM Men and a 30-year veteran firefighter, had the opportunity to share some of his experiences with younger Nashville firefighters. Prejean served as fire chief from 1972 to 1982, one of the youngest fire chiefs in the nation.
