OPERATION BARNABUS
This past year, the Ministry of the Armed Forces of the Lutheran 
Church-Missouri Synod introduced a program to our church called 
"Operation Barnabus" to help

• congregations better minister to family members of military personnel 
who are
deployed overseas
• provide assistance to military personnel during their deployment and 
during
the adjustment time when they return home
• congregations provide recognition of the veterans and military 
personnel in
their congregations for their faithful service to our Country.

I have appointed former 25 year Army chaplain and President Emeritus 
James Linderman to be the "Operation Barnabus" contact person for the 
Texas District.

If you would want assistance in designing a program in your congregation 
to provide ministry, support, and encouragement to your military 
personnel and their families, please do not hesitate to call him 
(512/280-5024), and he can share some ideas over the phone, or can come 
and personally visit with you and the leaders in your congregation.
