In April, Lifewords were invited to be a part of the annual army chaplains’ conference held in Tidworth, Wiltshire, where 150 army chaplains gathered to learn and be inspired together. “It was an encouraging and informative experience,” says Elizabeth King, from Lifewords. “We had lots of good conversations with chaplains, some who know our resources well and use them in their contexts – including the WW1 Gospels. Others are new to their role and are discovering our resources for the first time.
“We met one chaplain who said that Daily Strength was a vital and life-giving booklet for them during their training at Sandhurst. Now, as a chaplain they still use it, and many soldiers find it helpful and comforting in the context of their situations.
“It was also great to meet other organisations and chaplains of other faiths who showed impressive levels of care, compassion, commitment, and openness. We had lots of good conversations with supporting organisations from across the breadth of the faith community.”
Lifewords resources are used by chaplains all over the world – from the armed forces to those working in prisons, hospitals, and education settings. Our pastoral range is designed to help people read the Bible, think about prayer, and discover God’s provision in times of struggle and loss.

Give thanks for chaplains in the armed forces – for the role they have in offering pastoral care, moral guidance, and spiritual support.
Praise God for how Lifewords resources are supporting the work of chaplains all over the world. Pray that they would be a useful tool to help chaplains support those they serve.
