Lutheran Witness: August 2012

In this issue of The Lutheran Witness, we tell the stories of soldiers and the chaplains who care for them. Throughout the following pages, these military personnel help us understand how the LCMS is poised to care for these heroes who are in our midst, in our congregations and in our communities. To watch these warriors tell their stories, go to www.lcms.org/thosewhoservevideo.
