A few days ago, a tip was sent to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) research department to check out an organization called Marshall Minutes Military Ministries. MRFF has investigated a seemingly endless stream of evangelical ministries and para-church organizations operating within the military, from small Mom and Pop church groups to large scale, military-wide operations like Campus Crusade for Christ's Military Ministry, who are well on their way to accomplishing their goal of turning our military into a force of "government-paid missionaries for Christ." Marshall Minutes, however, had escaped our attention -- until now.

Marshall Minutes is run by Michael G. Marshall of the Armed Forces Baptist Missions (AFBM), an organization on "A Worldwide Quest for the Souls of Men and Women in Uniform and their families." AFBM's primary means of evangelizing the military is "church planting," establishing churches near military bases and then opening "Military Service Centers" to help these churches "reach young, single military men and women with the Gospel of Christ." Marshall Minutes' particular "field white for the harvest" is the Milwaukee Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS), where new recruits are tested and processed before being sent to basic training, and the ministry plans to "plant" a church near the Great Lakes Naval Base in late 2008 or early 2009.

1. It'd be funny if Religious Wars weren't sooo Sad, they'll end up creating WEAKER Christians not

Stronger ones.

These are folk who are afraid to, or can't, get a REAL job like the rest of us.

3. I wonder what their collection plate looks like?

I have always believed these groups pop up for the main purpose of taking in money. Who's watching? Look at the mega churches and what about some of these charities that pop up asking for donations to help starving children. Do you really check into them?

Those two brothers in Texas were deep into raising money. They were involved with the WH Jeffie Gannon.
