Annie Armstrong Easter Offering 2026 – Week of Prayer Day 2
“Fix” used to be a bad word for Fred Weymouth. “Back when my wife Casey and I were addicts,” he says, “we were always looking for the next fix. But then, we found Jesus. He transformed us and called us to plant a church where we could tell everybody about how good God is, and we called it The Fix, because ultimately, that’s what we found Jesus to be. He’s the fix.”

It’s such a small, simple word.
And yet, for church planting missionaries Fred and Casey Weymouth, “fix” is a multipurpose word with a variety of meanings—some sad, some sacred.
In a previous life, Fred and Casey were homeless heroin addicts, and a “fix” was a shameful thing. “We spent many nights sleeping in the backseat of our car,” Fred says. “Every waking moment was chasing the next fix.” But when Fred and Casey met Christ, “something,” Casey says, “got rearranged inside us. We’d been through every program and nothing worked until we came to the Lord. Turns out, Jesus was our fix. He transformed us and called us to ministry.”

Fred and Casey started a residential recovery and discipleship program for those trapped in addiction and living on the streets of Richmond. It was appropriately enough called “The Fix.” Out of that grew a church plant that now ministers to those in recovery, their families, and the local community. “We’re seeing things we never thought possible,” Fred says. “We have junkies receiving Christ, then never picking up a needle again. Only Jesus can make that happen. He is the ultimate Fix.”

- Students in The Fix’s recovery and discipleship program to grow in their walk with Christ.
- More encounters on the streets of Richmond that lead to gospel conversations.
- Opportunities for Fred and Casey to start similar ministries and church plants in other cities.
