Military Stories

Expand the hidden paragraph

Today, as in times past, Americans are fighting abroad. What our troops bring back are military stories of heroism on the battlefield but also of courage once they are home. They tell inspirational stories of unimaginable challenges met and overcome, of how wounds—physical, emotional and spiritual—transformed their lives in remarkable ways. 

In addition to soldiers’ stories, you’ll also find stories by family members who share not only the struggles they encounter when a husband, wife, daughter, son, brother or sister is deployed but also their experiences with the power of prayer to quell anxiety and give them strength to bear the absence of their loved one.

Our positive real-life stories offer hope and reminders that God is with us every step of the way.
