Two weeks ago I had the distinct honor and privilege to meet one of our nation's finest, Jeremiah Barham of the US Army. He is currently serving to protect our nation on the front lines in Northern Afghanistan. Tomorrow his two week leave is over and he will return there to continue his mission until August of 2008.
This morning at student ministry he played and sang a special song that he had written with his former band. The song talked about God's forgiveness and endless mercy. While watching him sing, a combination of emotions welled up within me and some others. Seeing him sing to our students, I feel the special calling on Jeremiah's life... I feel in my heart that Lord will do great things through this 24 year old soldier.
He has already seen and been in some very dangerous situations and has lost some of his commanders and friends. What a blessing to see a young man of God with so much courage and strength even in the midst of danger.
Please continue to keep him and those serving beside him in your prayers. Also, pray for the Barhams and the Ramos' (Jo, Carl, Joshua, Sara, Jonathan, Peter, and Megan).
