This video taken at Camp Pendleton shows U.S. Marines at a Christian worship service singing the upbeat Christian song, “Days of Elijah.” As reported by The Blaze, “A description of the video, which was first posted to Facebook Sunday by a woman named Merrie Pardee Baldwin, reads, “Participatory worship.”
Hope in encourages you like it did me!

Lucille, the video you posted of the Marines singing at Camp Pendleton has been a barn burner for me. I’m a former Marine (’71-’75) and don’t recall any fervor on this order outside boot camp and PT.
I wonder, more specifically whether these Marines were in their infantry school or if they were actually 1st Marine Division regulars. Do you know the name of the chapel?
My interest is because I work with Cadence, International and am considering moving to a Marine base somewhere (on my next move) where there is already a tradition in place of spiritual zeal.
I’ll check out The Blaze report.
Semper Fi,
Mike Martin
Thanks Mike for your comments here. I wish I knew the answer to your questions. I hope it was in the Blaze report.
