1 ACCTS’ annual leadership training program for young international officers, Interaction-Rocky Mountain High, occurs this week. Pray that the international participants will learn life lessons from their leaders and apply those lessons to their military careers.

5 ACCTS and the military Christian fellowship
(MCF) of Ukraine hosted English language camps in July, which included spiritual aspects of learning as well as language lessons. Pray that those who attended will continue to grow spiritually from what they learned.
6 A former participant in ACCTS’ Chaplains Interaction program, Chaplain Micael in Madagascar, emailed this joyful news: “Today, 21st June, we begin the distribution and sharing of our camouflage Bible!” Praise God for their ability to distribute God’s Good News, and ask that He will use it in Madagascar’s armed forces.
