LWML MISSION MOMENTS:  154 delegates awarded $120,000 in mission grants at the LWML convention in June.  Lutheran Military Veterans and Families Ministries received $12,000. Hundreds of thousands of veterans and their families from wars both past and most recent are struggling with spiritual questions, mental, emotional and physical health issues.  The rate of suicide, substance abuse, domestic violence and child abuse has increased among veterans and their families.  The LMVFM offers specialized ministry to meet these unique needs of military veterans and their families through the love of Jesus.  Government agencies charged with providing care to veterans and their families are restricted from treating or addressing the spiritual wounds of war.  The care and services offered to veterans and their families cover only those who meet a set of restrictive guidelines, thus leaving a large number of veterans without any care, services or benefits.  LMVFM assists all who have served our country by offering Christ’s care and assistance to those who have not only suffered physical, emotional, physical and relational wounds, but the spiritual wounds which separate man from God.  LMVFM seeks to support, educate, and equip clergy, Stephen ministers, congregations and counselors with knowledge and tools they will need to effectively work with veterans and their families, thus enabling them to demonstrate Christ’s love and show His compassion to those who have bravely served their country.
