Military Missions

When we talk about the ministry of Military Missions, we are speaking of reaching our service personnel and their families with the Gospel of Christ and training them to serve the Lord through the local church. Jesus gave the Great Commission to His church and commanded us to take the Gospel to every continent, country, culture, creed and creature in the world. This includes more than two million men and women who are now serving in our armed forces.

Our military personnel are a RIPENED FIELD who need the Savior. Military missionaries can effectively reach them for Christ. While our government focuses on the physical fitness of our forces, we believe the church must concentrate its efforts on strengthening Christian military personnel with good solid biblical instruction. The very best way to train and equip them to serve the Lord is through good local churches near the bases where they are stationed. They also need love and concern—provided through the outreach ministry of the church.

The military personnel are also a REACHABLE FIELD, whether they are stationed stateside or overseas. In most cases in the USA, there is a good local church that can help us reach them but overseas we concentrate on planting churches near the bases to minister the Gospel in those regions beyond. Some of the areas have a population of several thousands of Americans who are fertile soil in which to plant Bible-believing churches.

Military personnel and their families are also a RESPONSIVE FIELD because the lonely hearts are fertile ground for the seed of the Gospel. Without exception, military missionaries are finding the young men and women of our military ready to listen to the Gospel message. Strong churches are now operating in many countries with several missionaries conducting deputation to enter yet other countries. These congregations are centers of evangelism, penetrating the military community with the good news of eternal life in Christ. Souls are being saved, lives are being changed, broken homes are being mended and many young men are giving their lives to the service of our Lord. Such is the ministry of Military Missions.

Would you pray with us about this wonderful and exciting ministry of Military Missions? Would you prayerfully consider joining with us in this great endeavor of ministering to our 2.16 million men and women who wear our nation's uniform?
