Six Generations: 1

[…]impact on Paul’s life while a cadet–Joe Caldwell. From Joe we can count forward and see six “generations” of reliable or faithful men, as Paul talked to Timothy about, who desired to serve Christ and serve others. Jon Shine was touched by and touched many in a ministry of multiplication. Senior cadet Joe Caldwell’s relationship to Plebe cadet Paul Stanley was very similar to Jon’s and mine. Joe was an All-American quarterback for the Army football team during its heyday in 1958 and 1959. It was tops in the nation and Joe was tops on the team. He was also […]

[…]ago, using Jon Shine as a powerful influence on many others along the way. We don’t always know how and why He works the way He does, but we can be assured that He is in control. He took Jon Shine from this earth, at age 23, to be with Him. Jon’s tragic death was certainly a horrible loss to his family and friends and to the Army and his country, for which he held so much potential. We may never know what Jon could have accomplished in an earthly sense. But we do know what he has accomplished in […]

[…]kept safe by the “fourth man in the fire…who appeared like the Son of God.” Though always a popular Sunday School story with younger ones, the trials, faith and courage of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego inspired Jon in his own daily faith. He wasn’t ashamed or hesitant to share that inspiration with his fellow cadets. Again, his firm stance on living unashamedly as a Christian is another example of choosing the harder right over the easier wrong of just going with the flow and not making one’s faith a lightning rod for others to criticize.

Ways to Give

by Maj Dean A. Millard, USMC (Ret.) It’s easy for OCF members to send in a regular donation. The following options are for your consideration: U.S. Mail Most members use U.S. mail to send contributions directly to the Home Office in Englewood, to Spring Canyon or White Sulphur Springs, or to one of the Field Staff. Subsequently, for many members the receipt letter acts as a regular reminder for their next contribution. Military Allotment SystemAs a former Financial Management Officer in the Marine Crops, I know the advantages of this option. First, its perfectly fine under today’s regulations. Second, the money […]

Service Separations

[…]other person I’d like you to meet is Sally Sunshine. Sally’s husband is also away for six months. But Sally’s doing very nicely, thank you! Oh, there have been a few problems. The washing machine got stuck on the rinse cycle for six hours, one of the children had to have his tonsils out, and the family cat had seven kittens. But a kindly neighbor straightened out the washing machine. Junior is recovering nicely, and she found a home for all but three of the kittens. Otherwise everything is just fine! What explains the difference between these two experiences? Does […]

Professional Perspectives for Senior Officers

[…]practical application of God’s Word, for encouragement, evangelism, and discipleship. This is always a requirement and should be applied whenever the opportunity is available. Direct Leadership should not be totally forsaken for this type of ministry, however. If there is a lack or shortage of other experienced OCF leadership available, this style should be used in conjunction with leadership of the overall ministry while developing junior leaders to take on the coordination role. A senior military leader should be able to handle a peer ministry and develop unior leaders for coordinating an installation-wide ministry. MINISTRY OF VISIBILITY If you are […]

It Didn’t Surprise God

[…]of God’s goodness, answered their questions, read the Bible, and prayed several times. Zac, my six-year-old, assumed the worst and asked me straight-up if I would remarry when Mom died. I don’t remember my response, but I remember how that question captured my fears. And so began a journey of rich blessing for our family. Skipping forward thirteen months, Heather’s doctor told us that he could see no remnants of cancer. Glory to God! I skip forward because I prefer the BLUF (bottom-line up front) over suspense. But skipping forward neglects the many blessings we experienced as we walked the […]
