Trip to Springfield & A Coin

Just wrapped up an incredible time in Springfield, MO.  Christine and I traveled out to "mecca" to be
interviewed by the chaplaincy department for Ecclesiastical Endorsement.  This is a critical step in being able to minister within the military, and one that does not come easy.  We are happy to report, however, that our time was very enjoyable and successful.  We now possess the full and formal confidence of the Assemblies of God to minister according to our traditions among military personnel.   What an incredible honor!!

The image to the left, is the 'ministry coin' given to those endorsed by the Assemblies.  It features a picture  of St. Martin of Tours, namesake of modern chaplain ministry.  Google it for some cool trivia facts and history.
