Operation Inasmuch & Letters to Soldiers

Chuck Thompson
Youth/Missions Pastor

Here's another Operation Inasmuch "thank you" from the 805th Military Police Company:

Dear Apex Baptist Church,

The 805th Military Police Company sends its appreciation to the fine young men and women of Apex Baptist Church. We received the letters of encouragement entitled "American Hero" and passed them out to the Soldiers serving this fine country. I have heard many comments regarding the letters and feel that they had their intended effect.

I also opened a letter from Alexandra (3rd Grade). Her words were warmly felt and appreciated. Please let her know that I make the sacrifices of being away from friends and family to protect the freedoms of this great nation from afar. I serve willingly and with great pride; for if I have the ability to change lives for the better, then my calling in this life is complete.

I conclude with a verse that applies to all facets of life:

"But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus." (2 Timothy 3:14-15)
