Ministering to Military, Inc. WHY A MINISTRY TO THE MILITARY? Most would agree that it was during the Civil War, and especially among the Confederate troops. This gracious movement, by the Spirit of God, resulted in hundreds of former soldiers entering Bible colleges and seminaries to prepare for the ministry. Let me ask you again, when was the greatest American expansion of missionary service to the world? It was following the WWII and the Korean conflicts. Because of the vibrant evangelistic effort directed to our troops, multitudes of them became believers, so as they went off to war, they saw the suffering world through Christian eyes and, after discharge from the military, they enrolled in Bible colleges and seminaries to prepare themselves to return as missionaries to those war-torn countries with the good news of the Gospel. They had traveled, by government expense, to war - they returned, by faith, with a missionary zeal to bring the salvation message of God through Jesus Christ. Today we are sending thousands of our military to foreign lands to settle ethnic differences and cultural conflicts. We have not had the priority of evangelism like our forefathers, and consequently, we are sending our troops out with a spiritual vacuum in their hearts, plus, we are reaping a grievous suicidal epidemic, broken homes, divorces, purposeless living, drug addictions, etc. Perhaps the military is a forgotten mission field! We are bypassing one of the most spiritually fruitful opportunities for evangelism, and recruitment for laborers for the Lord. Is there a military ministry in your praying and giving? Have you ever noticed how many soldiers are highlighted in the New Testament for their noble faith and service to the Lord? In Matthew 8:10, the Lord Jesus said of a Roman soldier, “Assuredly I say to you, I have not found so great faith, not even in Israel.” In Acts 10, we read of the conversion of Cornelius, a Centurion of the Italian Regiment, who was stationed in Israel. The thrilling story of his salvation marks the first Gentile converted to Christianity, and the religious wall between the Jews and the Gentiles was broken down. It is of note that the last five years of the Apostle Paul’s ministry was given mainly to the military, who protected him and afforded him access to Caesar’s household in Rome - Philippians 4:22. The military continues to play a vital role in worldwide evangelism. As you browse our website, pray for us, and the ministry
