I was asked to start a ministry at my church. The ministry consists of
sending the "Strength For Service" books (See Below) to members of the
military stationed here at home in the U.S.A., and those abroad.
The history of the books began during WW II and continued through the
Korean war. Some how Vietnam was forgotten about. Imagine that!!!
A WW II NAVY veteran gave his copy to his grandson, Evan Hunsberger.
Evan was a Boy Scout, hoping to earn a merit badge by revising and editing
the book. Evan got permission from the original publisher and began
revising the book with new meditations from spiritual leaders.
The General Commission on United Methodist Men assisted Evan in the
publication. After the 9-11 attacks, the book took on new and special
meanings for our soldiers in harms way. It became a special book for them.
I have sent about 30 books to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, which is
great, but I wanted more. From a friend I was able to obtain the addresses of
three field hospitals. Two of the hospitals are in Iraq and one is in
Afghanistan.
I need your help. I need you to e-mail me names and addresses of friends,
acquaintances, loved ones, etc., and I will make sure they get a book. There
is no cost to anyone. I have had a few troops write me back thanking me for
the book and telling me how much comfort they have gotten from the verses
and devotions. The books are non-denominational.
I look forward to hearing from you soon. Send your e-mail to my e-mail at
