Post Ministry

It's been a little slow lately, with the hurry up and wait, but yesterday and today, I've been able to start doing some ministry on post. The Post Chaplain asked me to do a chapel service last night for small unit that didn't have a chaplain, and it was such a blessing to be able to preach- something I haven't done for about 6 weeks! Also, today I got a list of units to visit, and will do that throughout the week. It'll be nice to spend some time doing ministry this week, in a way I haven't been able to since getting here.

We're in a unique situation, as a two man chaplain detachment, in that we won't have a unit or base to which we can minister until we get overseas. If I was deploying with a battalion, with several hundred soldiers, I'd be busy already with counseling, leading chapel services and the like. With just the two of us, however, most of our ministry will not really start until we get overseas. But being able to work with some of the smaller units over the coming days will be a great blessing!
