I mentioned at our October fellowship that a military devotional was coming out soon.  It is now available! Battlefields and Blessings is a daily devotional of stories of faith and courage from the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some members of First Baptist Belton have testimonies in the book. You can find the book at Lifeway or BattlefieldsandBlessings.com.

Kerri Hartwick
Military Ministry Chairperson

As we all know, yesterday was a dark day for our country, particularly our community and our armed forces stationed at Fort Hood. Of course, that affects many people in our church and their families. As far as we have been able to determine, all of the men and women who serve and are part of our church are safe and secure. For that, we are grateful.

This is a time to pray for the men and women of our armed forces. Sometimes we tend to think that if they’re not in Afghanistan or Iraq that they are safe, but this reminds us that life is very fragile and that serving in our armed forces can be dangerous, sometimes even here at home.

At this point, the best thing you can do is to pray. Pray for our country, for Fort Hood, for our community, for the men and women who serve in this area. As you see the men and women of our church who serve, just remember to thank them and encourage them. Let them know you love them, care about them, and appreciate what they do for our county.
