PTSD...


Post Traumatic Stress Disorder affects many soldiers returning from war. This video tells a few soldiers stories about how they turned to drugs and alcohol to self medicate. It's a tough look at the psychological impact of killing. One of the angles of ministry I hope to see with "Pastors For Peace" is facilitating the pastoral care of the soul that is needed for healing. Ministering the "Peace" of God through active care for returning soldiers. Being involved in the spiritual work of healing that only the Holy Spirit and the Word of God can bring about. The ministry of healing is desperately needed in the lives of these men and women as well as finding accompaniment in the joinery, how ever long it may be.
