Moreland Gap Shelter 1 15       “Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne  will shelter them with his presence.       16       They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;  the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat.       17       For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of  living water,            and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. REV 7:15-17 I spent the Labor Day weekend on the Appalachian Trail.  I joined two old Army friends, rucked up and hit  the trail plodding over the mountains of East Tennessee. We powered through meadows, along creeks with  wildflowe...

There have been 30 full 9 week training cycles. In that time we have had about 75 Sunday services. 75 times soldiers gathered together to worship God. 75 times they sang songs together prayed together. We've seen God do some amazing things. We saw one young man literally brought back to life on the floor of his barracks after a cardiac arrest. We have heard countless tales of God healing family members and soldiers.

Many had never been in a church at all. Some were atheists that found the light of Christ brought a freedom that they never dreamed possible.
