We recently received a box of hygiene items, snacks and magazines from you! This is such a busy place here at the Wings of Hope Chapel, MANAS, Kyrgyzstan.
We have many troops pass through here in need of these items and more. What a blessing it is to have you and others who remember these and support them.
We are so thankful for you. The men and women are so appreciative of these items that are freely available to them. And it is because you have so graciously provided them.
Please visit our website to learn more.
The Chapel Ministry Center staff's primary customers are transient service members passing through the Transit Center on their way into or out of Afghanistan.
Many customers come in simply looking for travel-sized hygiene items to hold them over until they depart.
"Often flights are delayed or pushed back and a lot of times their gear is stowed, so they are missing a razor, shaving cream and a tooth brush," Iaun said.
Other customers are looking for more support, so the staff is always ready to provide everything from a listening ear to spiritual wisdom or even a quite place to sit and relax.
"We just want to create a comfortable relaxing, stress-free environment to ease that transition into and out of combat for our warriors," Iaun said. "Really our goal is to have a way to make contact with them, to converse with them, to provide encouragement and gauge their spiritual fitness. If there are concerns, if there are problems, if there is a crisis in their life, then we are here to meet that spiritual need as well."
The Transit Center chapel staff are willing to do whatever they can to assist those passing through their doors. |
