Camp Hope, Houston, TX
Recently, we traveled to Messiah Lutheran Church in Houston. While we were there, we had the opportunity to visit Camp Hope. This camp serves veterans who are suffering from PTSD. Dressed in the Kare 9 vest, Pax and his handler joined Phoebe, Barnabas and their handlers to move about the camp and meet and greet many of the veterans. As we did so, these words kept going through our minds - Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13
Pax and his handler visited separately with several of the men discussing their service to our country and the trials and difficulties they have experienced since finishing active duty. The stories they told left the teams trying to understand their pain. Part of the visits involved discussing how they can remain strong as they travel the road to controlling their PTSD. These men want so badly to reconnect with the world and live a full life. |
