Washington - Alaska District LWML

Mission Grants  2006 - 2008


Ministry to the Armed Forces

$5,000

Money is needed to compensate for the unexpected spike in cost of devotional materials and Ministry by Mail mailings for the ongoing deployment of thousands of Lutheran personnel and numerous active duty and reserve/Guard chaplains to Iraq and Afghanistan during 2005-2006.  Portals of Prayer and other devotional materials are key elements in the outreach to the general military population, both Christian and unchurched.

                 Our Father in heaven,

     We are collecting our mites for devotional materials to be given to the men and women of our country’s armed forces. Thank you that these men and women are willing to serve here and in foreign countries, so that we all may be free.  Keep each one strong in steadfast faith.  May our military personnel share the materials with others who do not know You as their Savior.

Through Christ, our Lord, we pray.  Amen.
