"Yes, all of us are in harm's way. Every time we go outside that wire, we are risking out lives. But they can go now with a renewed faith. Because of why we are here, this will have such a tremendous and positive impact upon our soldiers because faith is inside of us. It's inbred. It speaks from the inside out and when they go outside that wire they can have the assurance that their faith lives inside them, that the Holy Spirit is working through them. They can have that comfort, that hope and that realisation that God is with them, every moment that they are in harm's way. "

STORYLINE
US troops based in Kabul attended a special service at their camp to mark Easter Sunday.
The Chaplain, Captain Theodore H. Knach, said the service would renew the faith of the soldiers and help them to deal with the dangers they faced during their mission in Afghanistan.
"When they go outside that wire they can have the assurance that their faith lives inside them, that the Holy Spirit is working through them. They can have that comfort, that hope and that realisation that God is with them, every moment that they are in harm's way," said Knach.
Last year was the most violent in Afghanistan since the 2001 US-led invasion.
The United Nations says more than 8,000 people died in insurgency related violence.
