The American Bible Society is helping service members, civilian workers and their families at Fort Hood deal with the aftermath of the recent tragic shootings.
It has been nearly two weeks since Major Nidal Hassan opened fire on his fellow colleagues in a rampage on the base that claimed 14 lives, including an unborn child.
Since then, the American Bible Society, through its Armed Services Ministry, has been ministering at Fort Hood.
Dr. John Edgar Caterson of the ministry says there are a number of needs that are being met.
“We provide resources that they’re able to utilize that address the issues and needs that they’re facing at times just like this,” he explains. “There are resources that we’ve been developing with the Army Chaplain Corps in collaboration that address things like spiritual injury scale and how to overcome when you’re dealing with situations of trauma.”
The Armed Services Ministry has delivered nearly 60 million free Bible resources to America’s armed forces since its formation in 1817.
