This November, as the United States observes Veterans Day, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is expanding support for members who serve or have served in their nation’s armed forces around the world.
The Church strives to minister to military members, veterans and their families through faith, belonging and Christ-centered support wherever they serve. To help them and their Church leaders find resources and support, a new initiative offers a way for members to identify their military service in Gospel Tools and an updated website.
Latter-day Saints serve or have served as soldiers, medics, chaplains and in other military roles worldwide. These members and their families often face circumstances unique to military life, said Todd Linton, director of the Church’s Military Relations, Chaplain Services and Prison Ministries Division of the Priesthood and Family Department.
“These enhanced resources are designed to strengthen military members as disciples of Jesus Christ, helping them live their faith, minister to others and bless those around them wherever they serve. They also help Church leaders and ward members better understand the experiences and needs of military members and their families so they can minister with greater awareness and compassion,” he told the Church News.
