While soldiers, sailors and airmen are lauded each July 4 for defending freedom on a daily basis, military chaplains fulfill the high duty of offering spiritual freedom to those who serve in the armed forces domestically and abroad, reports Baptist Press.
“As chaplains, we deal in relationships,” said Army Chaplain Brandon Denning. “I never thought God would call me to be a missionary,” he said of the missionary opportunity to a unique people group.
“The military is often a culture that is overlooked as far as missions is concerned, and yet it is one of the biggest missionary fields we’ve got out there,” Denning said. “We’ve got soldiers who need the Lord.”
