“…but in your hearts honour Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defence to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,”
In Person (Face-To-Face)
In 1838, a Scripture Reader was just “a man and a Bible”. Nearly two centuries later, our ministry has broadened, but still has the Word of God at its heart.
As did the Lord Jesus, modern Scripture Readers meet people where they are—they take the gospel to young people in a wide variety of ways.
The bedrock of youth ministry remains face-to-face discussions. This can be in an arranged meeting in an office on camp, or incidentally as the Scripture Reader mixes with soldiers and air crew during down-time.

Modern military are increasingly digital natives – our Scripture Readers need to understand modern technology well enough to engage online with them.

In Partnership
Our Scripture Readers work alongside the Chaplaincy to ensure modern military understand the moral hazards they will face, and form a key part of the moral component of fighting power.
They also work to ensure that young Christian soldiers and their families are well-engaged with local churches.
