Being deployed can focus the mind on the fragility of life and on eternal matters. A number of members of the Armed Forces have recently given their lives to Christ; some have been baptised and have had the opportunity to give their testimonies in front of their friends.

Praise: for all those deployed that they will be challenged to consider the gospel and give their lives to Christ. Pray for those who have been baptised that they might walk out in faith and witness to those around them and continue to walk in their faith when they return home. (3Jn.1:2-4)
