A military chaplain talks about faith and ministry on the frontlines
Despite daily news of conflict in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other hotspots, we don’t hear much about the chaplains serving with the troops. What’s it like being a chaplain on the frontlines today? How do chaplains cope with the awfulness of war, without losing their faith? What advice would they give to soldiers heading out to war… or who are being deployed for the second or third time?
It’s Chaplain Appreciation Month over at the Officers’ Christian Fellowship, and they’ve put these and many other questions to chaplain Mark Fairbrother. If you or a loved one is heading out to the frontlines soon, or if you just want to get a glimpse at what a chaplain’s life is like, read the interview.
