Pentecostals, Peace & Justice in the Trump Era

Rick Waldrop

Now serving as Executive Director of THE SHALOM PROJECT, Rick and his wife, Janice, are former career missionaries of Church of God World Missions, having served for over 40 years at different posts in five countries, including Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras, Ecuador and the U.S.A.

In his preaching, teaching and practical ministry, Rick has consistently championed the cause of holistic mission in which evangelization and social action are held together, and he has worked in partnership with many others in planting churches and establishing social ministry among the most vulnerable sectors of society (impoverished children, battered women, drug addicts, under-served indigenous communities) throughout Latin America. Most recently, Dr. Waldrop served as the Social Ministries Coordinator for the Church of God in Latin America and continues travels extensively as a visiting professor of missiology at many colleges and seminaries.

Bec Cranford

Volunteer Coordinator
Bec Cranford is a self-identified Bapticostal misfit preacher* from Atlanta, Georgia. When she’s not hanging out with her dog Basil or painting, you can probably find her at the Gateway Center working to make homelessness brief and rare in the city. Or at Candler School of Theology, rocking her students’ socks off. Or, preaching, marrying folks, or sitting on her front porch with friends, having conversations about life, God, and everything in between. This year at the Goose, Bec’s happy to serve as Volunteer Coordinator and offer hospitality to everybody she meets.
