Letter from an airman's mom

"Pastor Counterman, I'd like to say thank you to your church for the terrific outreach they did for our son Matthew H. Matt was stationed at Sheppard the last several months and your church family was a huge help to him. As a young airman in an unfamiliar part of the country you provided a sense of home and belonging. We had many phone calls where he was excited about church activites that he had been too. We've seen in him a huge step to maturity both spiritually and emotionally. He's now at his base in Florida and I'm sure he'll be looking for a church to attend. Again, thank you for being there not just for our son but for all other young people you're reaching for. Holley H."
