After two and a half years of bible college I joined the Army to get more money for my college. I am now deployed and not able to go to Church. I do not know any Christians and am struggling to stay pure when every one around me is involved in immorality and lewd behavior... Help!

Hello Caleb. :)
I found this website that may be helpful to you.

It has a quite a few articles.
There are also a few 'cyber-churches' too.

I wouldn't suggest seeking fellowship in this forum I'm sorry to say, it is just as full of immorality and lewd behavior as anywhere else.
I was in the Army as well, thank you for your service to us.
Have you searched online for fellowship communities? I just did a quick search and put two of the links below. I don't know these sites personally, it's just what Yahoo suggested.

Oh boy,
Well hopefully you will go to another school. Since it seems that they did not go over the part of Jesus saying be no part of the world, and the command he gave to love your neighbor, (or you were absent on those days). I am not sure, you would need to ask your Commanding Officer.
My statement above, i say that because a
First.----Christian is a member of Gods Kingdom not one of the
world,
Second--The nations we live in although they are a provision
from God to keep a certain amount of control, they do
at this time belong to Satan.
Third--- The bible warns to Get out of her, being false religion, It
is also called a harlot, because false religion mixes it
self with the political affairs of the governments. The
Army is included in this.
If you do love your neighbor, do you go against that command and kill or help make a weapon to kill another person. God views life as sacred. You should also.

To the pure all things are pure.
When Jesus walked on earth, He eat and have fellowship with the tax collectors and prostitutes.
When there is darkness, it is because the light has not come. When light come, darkness have to fled. Light will always overcome darkness.
So know that you are shinning His light. Start seeing you having a positive impact to those around you rather than they having a negative impact on you. Shalom.

When I was in the service years ago, we had church service every Sunday. I cannot believe that there are not any Christians in your unit. Take your Bible and have church service with yourself when you have free time. There is ALWAYS someone with you, Christ and the Holy Spirit is with you always. Christ said that, "where there are two or more gathered in my name, I am with you" If you have Christ, The Holy Spirit, and yourself, that's three.

or if you're up to it. START a fellowship group!
