"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust." Psalm 91:1-2
Generations' Military Ministry is here to support those who are fighting for our freedom to worship the Lord Jesus Christ! Our men and women in uniform are sacrificing their lives on foreign battlefields to preserve our way of life. The cost is high but the reward can't be measured in human terms.
"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends." -John 15:13
Vision
To reach out to the military families of Generations Church by providing affirmation, love, encouragement, opportunities for service, and the warm, accepting community that the church uniquely offers. We will provide spiritual support and deployment support to all military families.
Support
Our Armed Forces represent the nation’s exoderm: they are bruised and bleed, sometimes making the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf. The wounds of war take many forms, including the spiritual and emotional impact of combat trauma, most notably Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Studies and experience has shown that PTSD best heals from the inside out, and that local churches are God-ordained institutions that can reach across the breadth of our land as bridges to healing for hundreds of thousands of our wounded warriors past and present.
Resources
Battlefield Ministries- is the non-profit organization that partners with Generations Church to provide bibles, books, Shields of Strengthdog tags, comfort items from home, and assistance to military families who have had a loved one wounded or killed in the line of duty. God has placed a burden on our heart to get a bible, copy of Reflections from the Battlefield, and a Shield of Strength dog tag to every Marine, Sailor, Soldier, Airmen, Coast Guard, and civilian warrior on the front lines. To date we have sent over 3000 copies of Reflections, 1000 bibles, and hundreds of Shields. The response has been overwhelming with revival breaking out in many parts of Iraq. There are over 140,000 troops on the battlefield so there is much more work to be done to achieve this goal.
 Shields of Strength- are the creation of Kenny Vaughan, a champion water ski jumper, who overcame his fear of competition by trusting God's Word. His turnaround started when his girlfriend Tammy, now his wife, wrote Scripture verses on his towrope. The amazing movement that followed is now impact thousands of troops on the battlefield who now wear God's word on their dog tags. Every copy of Reflections from the Battlefield that Battlefield Ministries sends to the front-lines, now contains a Shield of Strength. Visit Kenny and read more about this amazing ministry we have partnered with: www.shieldsofstrength.com
 Touch of Home- is a local non-profit organization that is providing hundreds of items to our troops overseas giving them a touch of the comforts of home. These can be as simple as new socks or toothbrushes, or as large as books, bibles, or other material. Diane and Bill Boone direct this ministry knowing firsthand the challenges of war with a daughter currently serving in the Army. For more information go to www.touchofhomeformilitary.com
