Four Chaplains

Recently, I’ve been very busy opening a center for our Airmen to use for character development. It’s been a lot of work! Finally, almost everything is ordered and many items have started to arrive. (We got most of our furniture today.) Best of all, we have a lot of young people gathering for Bible Study and other great activities!

The center is named The Four Chaplains Warfighter Center of Excellence. “Warfighter” is the best term to use as it denotes members of each branch of the military.

It is named the “Four Chaplains” after the chaplains of the USS Dorchester in WWII. If you aren’t familiar with their story, check out this video:

Also, here’s a local story about the center (Stars and Stripes has interviewed me and I expect a story in that newspaper soon also): News Article

UPDATE: Here’s the Stars and Stripes article! Article (Bonus: Anyone recognize the excellent commentary I’m holding in the picture with the article?)

All that and pulling together all the details of a visit by the author Gary Chapman have kept me busy!
