Special Gifts On the Way!

John Reynolds has put together two boxes of special gifts for Chaplain Chris and the soldiers on his base, to be shipped out today. As you can see from the boxes, John has included some "homey" things that will offer them a few creature comforts. But, more than that, it will remind the soldiers that they're in our thoughts and prayers.

Did you notice that package of "Thank You" notes? John included these because the two packages leaving today are only the tip of the iceburg.

In cooperation with Harp Depot from Marion, Ohio, the troops from the 101st Airborne in Iraq are about to receive a shipment of instruments, sound equipment, and all the peripherals. Thanks to the many people who pitched in to make this possible, the men and women on the FOB will have access to instruments and sound equipment to enjoy a little time relaxing, and, of course, it will also add a lot to the worship services conducted by Chaplain Chris.

This is one way Soldiers Bible Ministry is different than other military ministries. We encourage personal response from the soldiers to those who donated money and items. If you contributed in any way toward the purchase of the equipment, you can expect a response! If you want to get involved in Tunes for Troops, we'll be arranging for shipments to other bases in Iraq and Afghanistan in the future. As the money comes in, arrangements to send sound equipment to other bases will be made.

Contact us now and let us know how you can help. If you have instruments, let us know! If you have sound equipment you're not using, we can probably use it. If you can make a donation of any size, we'll put your money to work by showing visible evidence of your support for our troops. Click Here

We're excited ... we can't wait to hear the response from Iraq. We'll post pictures and updates as we receive them.
