Weekend with a Marine

This past weekend, I was able to travel halfway across the country to bless a fellow Brother and a Marine.  He and I went to Bible College together and, ironically, both felt a calling to serve the Marines during our college years.  He, however, went off to USMC officer school after graduating, while I went off to the domestic mission field.  Nevertheless, God has kept us secure in His calling and provision and has allowed us both to accomplish incredible ministry in our respective fields.

My buddy's new assignment involved a cross-country move and I was glad to help.  Having not seen each other since 2001, it was great to reconnect, meet his beautiful family, and spend some amazing time reflecting on ministry and building each other up in the Lord.

As was the case in those early college years, He continues to call us to serve within the military field and is using us, His church, to prepare and execute that mission.
