A Christian musician is ministering to U.S. troops through concerts on military bases across the nation.
For the past few years, Eric Horner has visited military bases throughout the nation. The Christian singer has been able to perform patriotic concerts and hold worship services in chapels. Although Horner cannot preach during patriotic and motivational concerts, a liberal organization is causing him trouble. "They began calling bases we were going to [and had gone to]...to complain," says Horner. "They called General Petraus in Iraq, to complain about me; they really attacked him over me." But General Petraus came to the defense of Horner and his work. "He says there's nothing wrong with an evangelical preacher who loves the troops and wants to show his support…period," adds the musician. The general's support halted the attacks from the liberal groups. Now Horner plans to continue touring and visiting military bases, encouraging those who put their lives on the line for the country.
