The Chaplain had the honor of a visit from the Command Chaplain last week. The Command Chaplain "shadowed" him and his assistant during their daily activities with the unit.
The Command Chaplain gave a great brief to the Commander & joined the Wednesday night Bible study. He was very moved that he & the men prayed for him. He said he was visiting an Infantry Battalion Captain Chaplain because he remembers being deployed in that role and no one ever came to support or encourage his Unit Ministry Team. He felt very encouraged and supported!
The week was capped off with 4 baptisms! To God be the glory, great things HE has done!
This is a letter about the progress the mission project at Shades Mountain Baptist Church (and the ELC) is making overseas.
While the soldiers now have plenty of toilet paper, here are some more items that are needed:
Wipes (both large and travel size)
Triple blade razors
Unscented hand/body lotion for the winter months
Crystal Light or other brands of drink mixes (individual packets for 16 ounce water bottles)
M&M's (the weather is cool enough to send them now!)
In order for these care packages to be delivered by Christmas, they need to be mailed out no later than November 1. A lot of good items have been brought in...please keep 'em coming!
