ZACK COOKMAN MEMORIAL FUND

Charles "Zack" Cookman

Zack Loved Missions

It started with his mom and dads love for missions.  Dr. Weir and Rose's first mission trip was with Noel Cookman in 1986 to Guatemala.  It was during these mission trips that Zack knew he wanted to help the poor, widows and orphans. 

Who he was...

He had a genuine love and concern for people.  Although he was an incredible entrepreneur, his heart was to help people.  He would take time with anyone he met to help them.  That might have been to help with some marketing ideas or to help raise money or awareness for those in need.  

The Cookmans have picked Weir Bettering Life

The Cookmans have asked Weir Bettering Life to help people invest in Zacks vision of helping the poor, widows and orphans in Guatemala.  In July, we are going to do a trip to Guatemala to work in an orphanage and to help in some of the mountainp villages around Guatemala City.  We will also be using part of your donation to help people who are struggling right here in the states.  People facing the financial despair from a medical crisis, or some other financial disaster.  Please pray about your donation to help make Zacks dream a reality.
