Just received the item below from Focus on the Family and, as a former Air Force officer and Christian who served overseas, I think it’s well worth passing along…
Campus Crusade for Christ’s Military Ministry recently received the following note:
“I am a chaplain in the Army preparing to deploy with my infantry battalion of approximately 800 soldiers. I have no Bibles or resources as I have just taken over this battalion. They just returned from Iraq this past November and are already returning again … Whatever you can do to help in resources would be greatly appreciated.”
As this chaplain’s note highlights, there remains a tremendous need for God’s Word, especially as more troops deploy. We continue to receive requests for an average of 15,000 to 20,000 Rapid Deployment Kits per month–each one containing a pocket-sized New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs, a daily devotional and a booklet that clearly shares the Gospel. Learn how you can help place these Bible and devotional kits into the hands of our troops.

i am a former aid to the chaplaincy during the vietnam era, i am still interested and concerned about all who serve their country and their God who have physical, emotional and spiritual needs––i am wondering how i might plug into the chaplaincy as a concerned citizen and vietnam veteran . . .
