Military Youth Ministry — Beth Mabry

April is the Month of the Military Child, a time when we celebrate the youth of our service members. These family members face unique challenges in the nomadic lifestyle of the military community, forfeiting a "typical" childhood for one filled with transition, moving, goodbyes, and (often) identity crises. This special group is also uniquely joyous, adaptable, and resilient, and the good news of the gospel is invaluable for third-culture kids searching for dependable roots. 

Kenji Fukunaga leads Cadence Kids Care, which equips Cadence staff members to care well for third-culture kids for the sake of the Kingdom, including both military youth and the youth of missionaries.
