In a heartwarming show of community support, the Kingston First Baptist Church stepped up to assist in the construction of a much-needed ramp for Roane County resident Danny Deal, a disabled veteran currently battling cancer. According to a Facebook post by the Roane County Sheriff's Office, Danny and his wife Juanita, participants in the RCSO Seniors SCAN Program, requested help. Sheriff Stockton’s Assistant Beth Sams relayed this need to her congregation.
Beth's call was met with an immediate response from the church's local missions group, who, within a few hours, constructed the ramp, offering the Deal family not only an accessibility aid but also a kind of testimony to the cooperative spirit at the heart of their community, this team made up of local church members and neighbors, exemplified a hands-on approach to fellowship, an act of service that underscores the values often touted, but not as frequently seen in action.
The Roane County Sheriff's Office publicly expressed gratitude for the ramp's construction. The office thanked Kingston First Baptist Church, Isidor Campisi, and an unnamed neighbor for not just their physical labor but also for their continued prayers for the Deal family. The Sheriff's Office's acknowledgment highlights the compassionate interplay between faith-driven zeal and secular solidarity in small-town Roane County.
