is designed to help those in need of emotion and spiritual
guidance due to military related challenges in the lives
while serving as Airmen, Sailors, Soldiers, Marines, The
Guard, and any First Responders, serving our country and
working in our communities. This one on one
approach to healing the broken hearted and lending
assistance to individuals and their families that
have experienced trauma through military deployments and
traumatic job stresses.
Soldier to
Soldier
is a military friendly group of volunteers that apply an out-reach through
in-reach, approach to their assistance, by using testimonies, sharing and witnessing, to
a whole new level of care and fellowship during their
contacts with one another, exhibiting truth and honesty in
their approach to help each another.
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
Lay
volunteers leaders coordinate church
fellowship meetings,
personal checks and balances, and
organize buddy system assistance
teams for those dealing with issues
involving, family, marriage, career
and home life stresses and
distresses under the leadership of
the pastoral staff at PCC.
Personal issues involving
depression, symptoms and remedies
of PTSD are discussed and explored
through laymen's terms and biblical
means. Professional counseling
referrals are also available for those that
desire further help through
counselors that specialize in
treatment of symptoms of the stresses and
distresses of combat trauma
related problems.

Congratulations Drs. Don and Kathy Shorter!
Awards of appreciation were
recently presented by Lieutenant Colonel Mike Daniels,
Commander of the Department of Defense - U. S. Army - Yakima
Training Center - Yakima, Washington, to both Don and Kathy
Shorter for their excellent training presented to the
Military Chaplains, Ministers, Counselors
and area Senior Pastors.
 Both Don and Kathy Shorter were recognized
for their "Seminar Presentation Excellence" in the subjects of
PTSD and Family Stress Strategy training,
held at the secured base.
Their seminar presentations coupled with
their personal
experiences of ministering to those dealing with PTSD, served to help many in attendance to
learn how to
identify, treat, train and assist military service men, women
and their families struggling with symptoms of PTSD (Post
Traumatic Stress Disorder) and related family distresses
that accompany these conditions.
Their presentations were very well received by the entire
Military Command at the United States military base in Yakima,
WA.
Thank you Pastor Don and Kathy
Shorter for your commitment to our brave military men, women and
their families...
