These resources have been created for anyone who will be experiencing a geographical separation from loved ones. We have asked families, parents and sympathetic adults to tell us how the Holy Spirit has creatively made connections despite deployments or other assignments which ordinarily would take a toll on intimacy. The result is before you now. Compiled and edited by sensitive educators, I commend this material to you. The booklets of prayer for adults or children, the suggested reading list, or any of the inter-activity suggestions can be downloaded or passed on as a thoughtful suggestion to those facing the trials of service far away from home.
