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.

Awesome page...God has definitely called you to serve!
Thanks for being you and answering the call. I will check back here often and will follow your journey with excited anticipation of God's next move.
I found your blog via milblogging.com. There is something intriguing about Christian soldiers. I look forward to reading more of your posts and will be praying for you.
Hey man...happened to see that you changed your site on your Facebook page. Glad you're going to keep us updated. I spent Thanksgiving with a younger couple - one's at West Point, the other in Annapolis. And how 'bout that Army-Navy game? Anyway, I'm glad to know that you're doing what you're doing. Bless you.
