Veterans in Christ

 

 

                                VETERANS IN CHRIST  

As Chaplain of the USS Dupont DD941 Reunion Association since 2014, I salute all veterans of all branches of the USA Military. Thank you for your service!

 

After four years of active duty in the Navy, stationed at Naval base, Sub Base New London, Connecticut, Naval Communications Center, I chose to reenlist to serve on board the USS Dupont (destroyer) in 1976-1978 up in the radio room ( Radio-shack) as Radioman 3rd then promoted to 2nd class petty officer (RM2).

During my time on board ship, we traveled the North and South Atlantic, Mediterranean,Red Sea, Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean. We traveled up and down the Red Sea -gulf of Aqaba where Israel under Moses leadership crossed the nine mile Gulf to Arabia then walk to Mount Sinai to receive the 10 commandments from God. Exodus 20, Deutermony 4.

We crossed the equator twice with Polywagg to Shell-back ceremonies. We visited many ports of call. Our home port was Norfolk,Virginia. This was when Virginia Beach-beach a few miles away, could be seen from the highway upon approach. Now it is full of Hotels blocking the view.

The Naval Communications field was the right field of service for me. I enjoyed my privileged position very much. It was a soul searching situation to leave active duty. After active duty, I chose to serve for almost two years at the Lehigh Valley, Reserve Center.  Shortly, thereafter the Lord called me in the ministry. 

 

 As Chaplain of our Reunion Association, we meet once a year for three or four days at locations up and down the east coast of the country. All Dupont sailors who served aboard from 1956-1983, about 3000 sailors, who have not passed away and able are invited to contact our association founder and President Ray Perrotti via face-book, USS Dupont Facebook etc.

 

         ALL CHRISTIANS WHO ONCE SERVED IN MILITARY SERVICE.

        This means any countries military service. If your where Christian when you

        served or became Christian after military service then you are in this category.

        Our Lord and Savior is Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha Mashiach. The Lord over all, 

        Captan of our Salvation, returning King over this world.

                                                    WELCOME

       Some active duty Christians may be viewing this web site. I hope that is the case

       because it would explain some of the web site web stats on

       unknown/non-available country/city locations of viewers. Maybe some are sailors

       out at sea or many others  on military installations around the globe.

       No problem, I understand the security precautions needed.

       You are welcome to this web site. I hope everyone

       gains encouragement and knowledge from this web site.

   

     This section recognizes all veteran and active duty Christians with a hand

     of fellowship. Only those of us who have been under military authority

     in any rank from enlisted to officer, either in peace time or war time can 

     understand the real pressures and responsibilities in this environment.

     As a Christian during military service, the temptations to slip and slide

    can happen any day. When that happens, the Lord is there to forgive and forget,

    if we repent and accept God's terms.  Read I John 1:9 for guidance.

 

    For the new Christian, please read the Gospel of John especially chapters 1-3.

   Then the book of Romans for understanding salvation and assurance then the Book

    of Acts for understanding the Holy Spirit in supernatural workings in the early

   church. The same supernatural happens in the 21st century church because Christ

    is Lord now and forever more.  

      

     Keeping faithful to the Lord's instructions is the goal of every believer. We all grow

     as we learn from the book of books the Bible, on how to live God's way.

    He will never leave us nor forsake us. So, let us not leave and forsake him in time

    of trial or testing. God will see us through our difficulties unto personal victory.
