Connecting Worlds

I recently shared this resource with a friend. This little paper has resonated quite a lot with the pilots I've been around and with other folks in the Air Force. I like it because it is a good example of "connecting worlds." During my first year in the Air Force, I was thinking of ways that I could break into the world of pilots and connect with them on a spiritual level. As a broad ministry, the Air Force believes that all people are spiritual. Connecting with people spiritually is a first step for me as a chaplain. If the person wishes to go deeper then by God's providence we can move to religious, Biblical and Christian conversations. But, the gateway to helping people in the chaplain world is to connect first on a spiritual level. The picture in this post is what  I came up with as a world connecting resource and it caught on pretty well. It fits in a pilots personal inflight guide book and is a handy twist on familiar concepts. Thanks to Jeromy for reminding me to dig this back out and I'm posting it here for your future ministry in the Air Force.
