Whether you are a pastor of a large Chicago area Lutheran church, or functioning under the arm of the Illinois National Guard as a chaplain, the effects of the pandemic were the same.

Join Pastor James Buckman in a fascinating story of ministry in Qatar, and how he was blessed while serving in chaplaincy there.
