November 2024 – LCMS Ministry to the Armed Forces:

                Your generosity will help support the recruiting, training and endorsing of our LCMS military chaplains. These chaplains serve on active duty, the Reserve

component, the National Guard, the Civil Air Patrol, & the Coast Guard auxiliary. Your gift will ensure they receive Lutheran resources, training and support.

            Your generosity will help protect the religious liberty of our chaplains and LCMS military members. We work tirelessly to ensure that all military members retain their God-given right and constitutionally protected freedom of religion.

            Your generosity will help sustain Operation Barnabas – a network of care that trains and equips LCMS Congregations and individuals to assist all military-connected people in our congregations and communities in getting the support and assistance they need.

            Your generosity will help enable the ministry-by-mail program to continue as we send Lutheran devotional materials and resources to all Lutheran military personnel and their families stationed around the world.

            Your generosity will help facilitate family wellness by funding the travel and expenses for chaplains and their wives to attend our annual training seminars. These seminars allow them to reconnect, network and receive pastoral care and support from their church.
