Military Children's Ministry |

About
four million people call the U.S.
military "home." This includes over one million children of military
and civilian personnel. Within this American subculture, approximately 25 to 35
percent of the people in a given community move every year. Children in this
environment must continually adjust and make new friends. They live with the
pervasive knowledge that one or both parents could be deployed, possibly even
killed.
To meet the needs of these special boys and girls, CEF© is making
strides on U.S.
military bases to reach the children in these uncertain surroundings with the
love of Jesus. Work is ongoing at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri and Fort Hood, Texas,
the largest active duty armored post in the United States. The director of
CEF’s Military Children’s Ministry is currently developing programs at Fort Bragg, North
Carolina; Fort
Campbell, Tennessee; Fort Carson, Colorado;
Naval Station Everett, Washington; and Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada, among others.
The children of our nation’s heroes, who are willing to give their lives for
their country, must hear about the Son of God who gave His life for them.
