Reaching Military Men & Women for Christ

Military men and women encounter challenges everyday:
Making life or death decisions in dangerous situations Fighting temptation in the midst of loneliness and boredom Making life-changing choices while combating fatigue, emotional strain, and uncertainty Dealing with being far away from home and loved onesWho listens? Who cares? Who brings God's perspective to the difficult task of balancing the needs of their country with the needs of family, friends, and self?

Navigators listen. Navigators care. Navigators bring God's perspective. Working alongside military chaplains and counselors. Navigators help to met spiritual needs of military personnel and their families.

   
Discipling To Trust & Obey Jesus

Across the world, on all types of military facilities, Navigators partner with military leaders, chaplains, and counselors who face overwhelming demands on their time and resources. In the upheaval of war and in peacetime, they join forces to help military men and women meet life's challenges.

That's what Navigators have been doing since 1933 when Dawson Trotman helped spiritually hungry sailors. During WWII, those sailors were grounded in spiritual truths and shared these truths with their friends.

Today, Navigators still do what those first sailors did: share Christ with others, show how God's Word is relevant to their lives, and encourage new followers to do the same with their friends and acquaintances.

At every ministry location, Navigators bring Christ's light to military people by helping them see how the Scriptures apply to the urgent challenges and everyday situations of life: job pressures, loneliness, materialism, fatigue, immorality, relationships, boredom, separation, insecurity, danger even death.
