As our Home Office team settles at its new locatio

As our Home Office team settles at its new location in Colorado Springs, we're looking for an addition to serve as our Ministry Support Administrator. The person in this role will serve as the voice and face of the OCF Home Office through greeting and assisting visitors, answering phones, and supporting the Finance and the Resource Development teams.

“Phones in the OCF office ring throughout the da

“Phones in the OCF office ring throughout the day as people call from all parts of the U.S.: prayer, information, publications, change addresses, make link-ups… Our concept of ownership is that God is the owner. We are His stewards. Pray that all the activities here will bring honor to Him. The building is a tool for His service, a place of worship, and a support base for OCF members everywhere.”

With this excerpt from a 1984 OCF Newsletter in mind, our home office team in Colorado gathered to decommission the 3784 S Inca St building, which served as a small nerve center for OCF operations for nearly 40 years. We’re grateful for all the Lord has done in and through this building since 1984, and we look forward to how He’ll continue ministry efforts from our new office in Colorado Springs.

Why would the Lord not allow something that seems

Why would the Lord not allow something that seems a good thing for His people? We most often only perceive what is in front of us, and our tendency is to make decisions based on what we see—the facts. God, on the other hand, has all wisdom, knowledge and understanding and acts according to our best interests, based on more than is apparent to mortal man.

Little by little, in God’s time He performs His purposes. Some leaders, thrust into positions of greater responsibility as a reward for a job well done, fizzle in their performance because they lack the wisdom that seasoning and time bring.

The route to success is through recognition of the One who is really creating the headway: “The LORD your God will.” God does the heavy lifting. Joshua could not take credit for his victorious army; God fought for Israel. Our best plan should be to cooperate with God in recognition of our mortal limitations: “You will not be able to put an end to them quickly.” Is not our challenge to recognize there is more to matters than what is in front of us? God acts on behalf of those He loves, and He has a wonderful plan for us despite present circumstances.

Each chapter of the #OCFHandbook casts vision for

Each chapter of the #OCFHandbook casts vision for military ministry, explains OCF, discusses the military Christian life, encourages personal spiritual growth, and gives ideas for executing member-led ministry.

Chapters are organized into sections, ranging from the big OCF picture to equipping and engaging one another in Biblical fellowship at the local level to the ministry’s organization. After these 37 chapters of material on military ministry, the Handbook concludes with bonus content that includes governing documents and, for those who love a checklist, a few single-source references and checklists.

Visit ocfusa.org/handbook/appendix anytime for these quick and easy references for PCSing, starting an OCF fellowship, supporting the chaplaincy, and more.

We discuss statistics and real-world case studies regarding the pornography industry that reveal the magnitude of its harmful effects on society and on individuals alike. Brent and Nicole then unpack terms and concepts such as the cyclone of addiction, the shame cycle, and neurochemistry of the brain that all point to God’s intricate design for His creation.

Distractions confront us all. Some distractions ar

Distractions confront us all. Some distractions are a result of task saturation, simply piling more on our plates than we can reasonably handle. Yet other distractions have influence through other means, such as an unshared vision or fear and intimidation as in the case of Sanballat, Tobiah and Geshem. Nehemiah models for us how to respond to distractions and intimidation. Five times Nehemiah refused to turn from what he was called to do. His focus was to complete the great work and not to delay its completion.

Most people (especially those in the military) can appreciate being the new kid on the block, but note how Nehemiah channels any fear, worry, and anxiety. He cried out and asked God to strengthen him. He took courage and resisted every ploy of his adversaries. It is naive to think that the work we do in the Lord’s name will be received with enthusiasm from everyone. How does one keep focus when distractions and discouragement come? Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Keep focus on the big picture and ask His help. Remind yourself that what you do is for His glory.

"Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised" (Proverbs 31:30).

Thank God for the godly women who impart God and His truth to their children by words, deeds, and lives on this day to honor mothers and
motherhood. Happy Mother's Day!

The Home Office team includes the Executive Direct

The Home Office team includes the Executive Director and Deputy Executive Director, along with staff who oversee the Finance, Resource Development, Communications, Field Operations, Member Care, and Human Resource specialties.

Every weekday morning, the Home Office staff stops routine work to gather for group study of the Scriptures and to pray. The staff then prays for our members (submit your prayer requests anytime at ocfusa.org/needprayer/), writes cards to deployed and overseas personnel, and updates one another on events impacting the entire OCF family.

The Home Office is where most member inquiries are handled and where we respond to your requests for materials to support local fellowships and conferences. Think of the Home Office as a small nerve center that helps connect OCF members to one another by doing things like managing the OCF member database, providing linkups between members, and working to keep the online OCF Directory up to date. The greatest joy for the OCF Home Office team is seeing members grow and thrive in Christ throughout the military!

Visit ocfusa.org/handbook/chapter37/ to learn about some of the Home Office's departments, and message us anytime if there's anything our staff can do to help.
