Recently our fellow American Legion member, Larry Vinson has had some amazing opportunities and accomplishments. In the last month, Larry talked with The Hendricks County Sheriff’s Department on how to appropriately deal with someone who has Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). As well, as part of his outreach to those in addiction recovery, Larry was awarded a Certificate of Appreciation for his help at “The House of Hope” in Brazil, IN where he speaks once a month.
This month, Larry graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University with a Doctorate of Ministry in Transformational Preaching and will receive his diploma on December 18th. With this degree complete, Larry has announced plans to open a church that focuses on creating a safe place for people to discuss faith regardless of their personality, struggles, lifestyles, or socioeconomic position.
Congratulations, Dr. Vinson!
