Giving Opportunities

Ministry to the Armed Forces: LCMS Ministry to the Armed Forces provides military chaplains to serve on the field and in veteran's hospitals; works with pastors and congregations for the spiritual welfare of members in uniform; and provides spiritual resources to service personnel through a "Ministry-by-Mail Program."

Ministry by Mail for the Armed Forces
Your gift of $200 will combine with 100 others to provide one year of devotional and encouragement mailings to those who serve in the Armed Forces.

Operation Barnabas
Operation Barnabas equips congregations for the critical role they can play in helping military chaplains and other veterans returning from battlefields. LCMS World Mission and LCMS World Relief and Human Care are partnering to make this new ministry possible. Chaplain Mark Schreiber, director of LCMS World Mission's Ministry to the Armed Forces, says, "Everyone who goes into a war zone and returns home needs a period of readjustment. Too many Vietnam veterans returned and were not taken care of. Today, we're more sensitive to needs and how we as a church can help."

Where Ministry to the Armed Forces Needs it Most
In addition to Ministry-by-Mail, LCMS Ministry to the Armed Forces provides "God's Word of Encouragement" to chaplains for distribution to those they serve. Congregations receive materials to use in a May remembrance of Armed Forces Day or Memorial Day. Another appropriate time for recognition and remembrance is Veterans' Day, Nov. 11. Your gift here provides materials for chaplains, service personnel and veterans and for everything Ministry to the Armed Forces does!
