The Bible says that there’s no greater love than to lay down one’s life for another. (John 15:13) Around the world, the military is a living example of that love.
With increasing political tensions and hot spots around the world, the U.S. Military has found itself on the front lines fighting for freedom. This does more than just put them in harm’s way; it puts their families on the front lines of a very different battle. These families are battling every day for their own family security and sanctity. Young military families face increasing and longer deployments and CBH Ministries feels it's time to step up and show our support in a very tangible way.
As we recognize God's ultimate gift of His Son to us, we want to give a gift of love and encouragement, too. We have put together a special gift package filled with a variety of CBH products that we hope will touch the lives of these special men and women with the love of Jesus Christ.
For just $25, CBH Ministries will send this package to military chaplains who will distribute them to families at their bases. Your purchase of this gift will directly support these troops and their families and will share the love of Jesus in a new and exciting way. The package will include: a Slingpack, One Year Book of Devotions, Down Gilead Lane Seasonal CD Special , Classic Songtime CD, current issue of Keys for Kids and a sample pack of Tracts.
Please consider joining with CBH Ministries to reach out to the troops. Remember, they volunteered. Will you?
FAQ:
How do these packages get distributed?
CBH Ministries is working directly with military chaplains in order to distribute these packages to young military families. When you send a $25 donation, we’ll send the package to a chaplain and he will deliver it to military families at his location.
Do I need to give a military address for these package?
No. Once you purchase a package, that’s all you have to do. We will handle sending the packages to the chaplains and they will handle distribution.
Do I need to know someone in the military to participate?
No. We will make sure that each and every package donated by CBH’s supporters gets to a military member’s family.
I know someone in the military. Can I buy one of these packages and send it myself?
We’re working directly with the U.S. Military to ensure the best distribution of these products. We want to maximize the potential of every package sent. For that reason, we’re not making these packages available for purchase by individuals.
If you know someone in the military that you believe would benefit from one of these gift packages, we’d ask that you please find out their chaplain’s contact information and forward it to us at: military@cbhministries.org. We will then contact their chaplain and offer the same program to their base. We cannot guarantee distribution directly to any specific military family member, but we can promise to do our very best to speak with their chaplains regarding the request and see what we are able to do. We want to get these packages out to the people who would benefit from them just as much as you do.
I have the name and address of a military member. Can I have it shipped directly to them?
Please see the answer above.
Are other things in the store available for donation to the troops? Can we buy other products and have you send those?
We’re hoping to be able to make that option available at some time in the future, but as this is a pilot program, we’re asking that people bear with us as we grow and purchase the product packages we’re offering right now. As things move and grow, we will do what we can to make other products available to encourage the troops.
Can we purchase this package for another group, person, or organization that is in need?
Right now, we’re concentrating our focus on the U.S. Military. We’ve already opened those channels and we hope to continue growing and building this project to possibly encompass other organizations, groups and individuals in need. We’re watching and observing what the response is for this group and we hope to build appropriately based on that response.
