Alliance Military Chaplains Serving on the Front Lines

June 14, 2007

Alliance chaplains serve on U.S. military installations around the world, on ships at sea, and with military forces deployed worldwide. Services are conducted on base and in the field. Recently, two Alliance military chaplains received assignments to Afghanistan and Iraq. Commander Val Jenson, a U.S. Navy chaplain, serves with the Marines in Iraq. U. S. Army Captain Aaron White is stationed in Afghanistan.  
     “Nurture the living, care for the wounded, honor the dead,” said a non-Alliance military chaplain who served with White in Afghanistan. “This is what we are called to do every day.” 
     “Pray for our chaplains,” says Bob Collins, retired Army chaplain and director for Alliance Chaplain Ministries. “They are missionaries to a different culture, preaching the gospel in areas where no pastor or missionary can go. Their appointments are made by God!”
