Spiritual Retreat For Christian Warriors
You are not alone but Satan wants you to think that you are. There are Christian Warriors like you who understand. Combat changed us too. This retreat is specifically designed for the Combat Veterans in our congregations. Build camaraderie with fellow believers and Veterans while engaging in subjects related to the challenges of returning home a different person.

GOD LOVES OUR MILITARY
MEN AND WOMEN
In everything LMSG does, the ultimate goal is to share the Gospel with the men and women who are serving or have served our country. We recognize that Veterans have special needs. We also recognize that ELS and WELS congregations
want to support those needs. LMSG is here to strengthen the connection between
congregations and military members – and to help carry the message that God loves and cares for them and their loved ones.
