Dear Army Families,
The last couple of years have been filled with unique challenges, but I pray you have had some great opportunities to grow closer as Families. Our Army is full of extraordinary people and our children are some of the most resilient in the world. I am so proud of how you have taken the challenges of school, work, physical distancing, and a myriad of other changes and have met them head on.
Our “Religious Support Toons” team has created a unique coloring book for you. You can help “Spirit & Friends” come to life. I hope that these characters will brighten your days, and allow your spirits to soar as you imagine many adventures to come. Each of us has so much talent and skill, and I want to challenge you to bring your creative best every day!
In honor of the Month of the Military Child, the U.S. Army Chaplain Corps is launching a unique cartoon series titled, “Spirit & Friends.”
The release begins with a coloring book that can be downloaded, printed, and shared. Other resources will be used to support the amazing work being done in our Army chapel communities and by our unit ministry teams around the globe, by our creative and committed directors of religious education, chaplains, religious affairs specialists, and volunteers.

Chaplain (Major General) Thomas Solhjem, the Army Chief of Chaplains
[I met Chaplain Thomas Sohjem in Germany when I was visiting there with one of our IPHC Army chaplains. I was impressed with Chaplain Sohjem at that time and felt in my heart that he was destined for greatness. What is good about it all is that he is an ordained minister of the Gospel with credentials with the Assemblies of God. I am pleased to see our Pentecostal chaplains promoted to serve in a greater role of leadership. God has given us some outstanding military chaplains. My successor, Chaplain (Colonel) Jerry L. Jones is doing a great job. If you know of young men and women who feel a call from God to be military or civilian chaplains, I would like to recommend that you contact Chaplain Jones at this email address: JJones@iphc.org ]
