Deployment Prayers

B-Man's brother, Alan is en route to the Middle East for a 15 month tour in Iraq. We ask that you pray for him and his team while there. When B-Man was deployed someone prayed for him in a specific way that struck me as being awesome and thus became my prayer as well. The prayer simply asked that God would walk before B-Man and clear his path. Literally. So short, yet so powerful. We ask that you pray this for Alan and for all military personnel deployed in a hostile environment. We ask that you also pray for the families of service members as the holiday season can be especially difficult. Thank you.

s, I am sorry that you and B-man are having to go thru this again. We will keep Alan in or prayers. Will he at least be home for the holidays?

Thanks Elena. We're sorry that you are going to go through it again with Kris. We hear rumors that 3BCT will deploy again soon. We will pray the same prayer for Kris. Are you back at Carson yet? Oh, to answer your question...Alan will not be home for the holidays.

What a beautiful prayer--I will commit to praying it for Alan! May God speed the next 15mos. and bring him back home safely. Lots of Gasperini love to the Faye family.

S, We are not back at Carson yet. We move back in late Feb. So we thankfully will miss some of the 15 months of deployment. Kris will be headding back over late march.
