A recent event in Camarillo, Calif., provided an opportunity for a local Operation Barnabas chapter to use a canopy it developed with assistance from LCMS Ministry to the Armed Forces.
LCMS chaplains are pastors first, serving those who serve in the U.S. Armed Forces. Whether on active duty as a military chaplain or serving in the Reserve or Guard components or Civil Air Patrol, military chaplaincy is an opportunity to be a pastor and missionary in a crucial environment.
In 2007, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod’s Ministry to the Armed Forces launched Operation Barnabas to care for reserve chaplains and provide resources for congregations serving military families and communities.
