We now have eight active duty soldiers, male and female serving in the military in various positions who need your prayer. We have recently seen the number of our soldiers rise as 3 of our youth have come of age (18 yrs old) and started their mandatory 36 months of military service.
To meet this need we are beginning to plan events for them that will meet their fellowship needs. Most of our soldiers are on bases were they are the only believers and these bases are too far from their families and congregations for them to get the kind of spiritual nourishment they need. One way of meeting this need is to utilize their time off (usually one weekend a month, possibly two) and providing them with a forum for them to fellowship, study the Bible and worship together.
We are interested in helping our soldiers in other ways, including: sending them care-packages, organizing weekend retreats, and joining with other organizations that help our soldiers. Most importantly, we are trying to be in constant communication with our young soldiers and ministering to them, primarily by phone.
We need you to stand with us in prayer for our soldiers. It is important that we pray for their protection, not just physically, but spiritually as well. Some are serving in dangerous places, where their lives are at risk. Other are away from family and fellowship for the first time in their lives and we need to pray that their faith continues to remain strong and that they are bright beacons shining in their units. Will you join us in this important prayer mission?
