We are awaiting orders. As of September we were endoresed by the Church for military chaplaincy, and as of November we were approved by the U.S. Navy for active duty. So now we wait. Though our orders were issued a few years ago, as God began forming in us the work we would be called to do. Vocati Ad Servitium is the motto for the Navy's Chaplain Corps. Literally it means "called to serve" and I cannot think of a better descriptive for what Sarah and I have experienced over the past few years. We have been called to provide pastoral care for those who serve in the military. We ask for your prayers as we move forward in this calling. We also thank all of you who have encouraged us and prayed for us during this time of preparation.
