"Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here I am; send me." - Isaiah 6:8
Out of the myriad of choices that young men and women can make and the many opportunities presented to men of ambition; there are some that have resisted the call of the world to answer the call of God.All Marines can remember the last hours of the crucible, when weary, worn, and exhausted they were handed the rewards of their accomplishment - The Eagle, Globe and Anchor, the symbol of excellence. So now, the Marine brothers and sisters who have left the ranks of the military to join the ranks of the ministry, will soon stand on a platform and be recognized for their hard work and sacrifice, as ministers of the Gospel.
From the Church in Oceanside, CA - We want to give a big "Euraaahh!" to Sabrina Campbell, Kweli and Sophia - (Sis. Marine - by association) Talbert, Amy Clark - (Sis. Moto), Allen Downing - (Beaker), (Wild) Rob Larson, (Rowdy) Greg Legister, and Deck Thompson (U.S. Marshal). These have entered seminary this year.
Keep up the good work - the best is yet to come!

Who Shall I Send

A Plea
God grant me these: the strength to do
Some needed service here;
The wisdom to be brave and true;
The gift of clear vision,
That in each task that comes to me
Some purpose I may plainly see.
God teach me to believe that I
Am stationed at a post,
Although the humblest 'neath the sky,
What I am needed most,
And that, at last, if I do well,
My humble services will tell.
God grant me faith to stand on guard,
Uncheered, unspoke, alone,
And see behind such duty hard
My service to the throne.
Whate'er my task, be this my creed:
I am on earth to fill a need.
