COMBAT VETERANS SUPPORT FELLOWSHIP
FIRST – THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY!
Ministry Contact:
This ministry group is comprised of veterans including the ministry leader who have served during war.
Some veterans have PTSD and some do not have PTSD.
It is not necessary to have been face to face with the enemy to experience PTSD.
It is not necessary to attend Calvary Chapel of Philadelphia to attend.
There are no costs to the veteran.
The group uses “The Combat Trauma Healing Manual” authored by Chris Adsit.
Major General (Retired) Robert F. Dees writes in part the following in the introduction:
“The reality of war is that everyone gets wounded. Some wounds heal rapidly, but some last for a lifetime. The reality is that the wounds of heart, soul and spirit have a spiritual component that is not being adequately addressed. Despite valiant efforts of many organizations and the commitment of billions of dollars to address these issues, there remains a serious gap – the faith gap.”
The manual the group uses offers spiritual solutions for your struggles with PTSD.
The manual combines the latest insights of the medical community with the timeless principles of God’s Word helping the veteran as follows:
• Understanding your trauma.
• Adopt therapeutic spiritual disciplines.
• Process your loss and grief.
• Experience the freeing influence of giving and receiving forgiveness.
• Rebuild your identity based on what god says about you.
• Strengthen yourself spiritually against future attacks.
• Connect with those who will support you in many ways.
• Rejoin society as a strengthened man or woman of God.
The group meets the first and third Tuesday at 7 pm in the prayer room. There are no scheduled meetings during July and August.
