00:00.009 --> 00:01.787
I'm Chaplain Michelle Al Gordon

00:01.787 --> 00:04.010
Reservist , currently serving at us Air

00:04.019 --> 00:07.710
Forces , Africa . I enjoyed preaching

00:07.719 --> 00:10.159
to people who wanted to be in worship

00:10.170 --> 00:12.560
and to a different culture because the

00:12.569 --> 00:14.625
word of God is one of the few things

00:14.625 --> 00:16.969
that transcends to all people working

00:16.979 --> 00:19.350
with other countries allows us to build

00:19.360 --> 00:21.170
partnerships that will not only

00:21.180 --> 00:23.402
strengthen the way in which we care for

00:23.402 --> 00:25.530
our military members , but it also

00:25.540 --> 00:27.540
helps them to better care for their

00:27.540 --> 00:30.010
military members . I feel privileged

00:30.139 --> 00:32.250
and I feel blessed to be able to work

00:32.250 --> 00:34.306
with so many other services in other

00:34.306 --> 00:36.361
countries because we are all working

00:36.361 --> 00:38.417
for one common goal . And that is to

00:38.417 --> 00:40.528
care for those who serve in our armed

00:40.528 --> 00:43.509
forces . Chaplaincy means being able to

00:43.520 --> 00:47.049
support um airmen , being able to

00:47.060 --> 00:49.004
support military members and their

00:49.004 --> 00:51.116
families as they practice their right

00:51.116 --> 00:54.110
to exercise religious freedoms . It

00:54.119 --> 00:55.952
just means helping people to get

00:55.952 --> 00:57.439
through the roughest of times .
