“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and God of all comfort, who comforted us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort ourselves have received from God.” (2Cor 1:3-4)
What sets the LMVFM apart from social services and governmental agencies?
This military veterans/family care ministry is the human extension of God’s love reaching out through His people, ministering compassionately to all veterans (current and past) and their families. This ministry addresses the Spiritual, mental, emotional and physical needs of veterans and their families. The foundation for this ministry is an active response to both the great Commandment and the Great Commission of our Lord.
