When God called you to plant in your community, He knew exactly who your neighbors would be. He knew the families who live in your community and would walk through the doors of your church. For many of us, that includes active-duty military and veterans. Their presence is not an accident—it is part of God’s providential design. He has entrusted you with this unique mission field.
Behind every uniform is a person created in God’s image who needs the hope of Christ. Many are navigating transitions, searching for community, and asking deeper questions about purpose and meaning.

These realities create unique opportunities for the gospel to take root and bear fruit far beyond your local community. |
Military ministry is about more than just serving physical needs—it is about developing disciple makers. Every service member has a sphere of influence that extends far beyond your city. As they encounter Christ, grow in their faith, and learn to make disciples, they become catalysts for gospel advance wherever orders send them next.
My prayer is that these resources encourage you to see military communities as disciple makers to develop, leaders to equip, and laborers to send. The Lord has brought the mission field to your doorstep. Let’s be faithful to make the most of the opportunity.
