Linwood G. Cook |
| Rev. Linwood G. Cook grew up in
rural Chesterfield County, Virginia and earned a degree in Marketing and
Management from Richmond Professional Institute. After fourteen years in
the business world, he felt the call to ministry and went on to receive a
BS in Religion and Philosophy from Averett University and completed his
Elders Orders at Duke Seminary. Appointed to churches across Virginia for
the first 25 years of his ministry, Linwood always viewed missions as his
focus, and in 2000, he was appointed President of The Friends of Barnabas
Foundation. Linwood and his wife, Brenda, have three grown children, four grandchildren and are the ‘adopted’ grandparents of two special little girls. He enjoys reading and working at his home on Smith Mountain Lake in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. |
