God's Warriors in Action: Veterans in the Ministry - Paperback

by Ernest Branch (Author)

After visiting several churches in South Carolina, I understood why so many veterans are in the ministry. Why are our weekly veteran meetings Christ-Centered and Faith-Based? Why do we facilitate our meetings with prayer, and testimony, and focus on spiritual healing to deal with our military conversion to civilian life? Many of the attendees are disabled with various symptoms. Since triggers cause veterans to display an undesirable reaction to general conversations, faith-based and Christian values help in coping skills. Rev.
