tenacious couple, Brian and Candi Crawford.

starting City Light Church. Brian and his wife Candi are natives and 
long-time residents of Vicksburg having a passion to share the Love and 
Gospel of Jesus Christ with the city they hold dear. Having felt a 
burden for Vicksburg for a long period of time God moved to allow Brian 
and Candi to move back to the area with the mission to shine the light 
of Christ in the city through the transformed lives of His people.
  Brian changed jobs and moved into the heart of the city to begin 
their journey. Brian and Candi were assessed through the 242 Church 
Planting Network and were deemed ready for the rigors of church 
planting. Brian also completed the Multiply church planting training 
through the network in May 2016. When he isn't doing the work of the 
ministry, you probably can find Brian coaching his boys, dating his 
wife, reading (by the truckload) or watching movies (any genre) and 
sports (any kind).
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Brian 
and Candi Crawford for their hard work, dedication and desire to spread 
the Gospel.
