👋 Please Meet: Dr. Jeff Ginther, COL, USA (Ret.) 👋

Q: What's your testimony?
A: I was raised in church but didn’t accept Christ until an infantry officer in 1976. An Army Chaplain discipled me and convinced me of my need to repent and accept Christ. He shared apologetic books on science and creation until I was convinced God was real. Since then I have tried to die to self and make my life a witness for Jesus.

Q: How would you describe OCF's ministry in your personal life as integrated at your current assignment or location?
A: I was involved in OCF and Bible Studies while on active duty. OCF has encouraged me and my family in Biblical growth and guided me in serving Christ. I took my children on Spring Canyon's Father Teen Adventure, and my family participates in many Conference Center retreats. I’m involved with medical week at Spring Canyon (35 years) where we encourage doctors to integrate their faith and profession. OCF continues to equip me to encourage my family for Christ in our military and civilian communities.

Q: What motivates you to serve on the OCF Council?
A: I believe strongly in the importance of OCF ministry. The impact for Christ is great and I would be privileged to serve on Council again. After a successful military and medical career, I have experience and time to commit to serving on Council. Encouraging and equipping our military leaders for Christ during this pivotal time in their lives is important.

• Many passages exist in the Bible that indicate

• Many passages exist in the Bible that indicate a knowledge of facts far beyond that of the days when they were written (e.g. the spherical earth—Isaiah 40:22, the fact that day in one part of the world coincides with night in another, the weight and circulation of the atmosphere—Job 28:25 RSV, etc.).
• The historic statements of the Bible are also constantly being proved true, even though long denied in the name of “science.” Recent archaeological discoveries have produced extra-biblical evidence for the accuracy of the reference to many of the events, customs, and persons named in the Bible and have demonstrated the accuracy of the transmission of the text.
• The Gospel is unique in its holiness and power to change lives for good. This we believe to be of God, and above the power of human invention or discovery.

We are therefore prepared to “walk by faith” in this Book, rather than reject it on account of an ever-changing “science” which (however valuable in some ways) gives no spiritual comfort, no moral guidance, and can make only provisional statements upon material matters.

Be sure to check out our recent podcasts with Jay Seegert to dive into these concepts more! Just search "OCF Crosspoint" wherever you listen to podcasts.

This month's Crosspoint episode features an excerp

This month's Crosspoint episode features an excerpt of a conversation with Jay Seegert about defending the Christian worldview. Author, international speaker, and managing director of The Starting Point Project, Jay holds degrees in both Physics and Engineering Technology and has been lecturing on the authority of Scripture for the last 40 years.

He explains what it means to defend the Christian worldview, the significance of addressing the existential questions, and how the Bible ought to be our key source for these conversations. Jay also shares what our motive should be when engaging in discussions with those who hold other worldviews.

Interested in hearing more from Jay about similar topics discussed in this interview? Stay tuned for the full, bonus episode coming this month, and consider attending the first week (6-13 June) of White Sulphur Springs’ Summer R&R program as Jay will lead speaker sessions related to his topic: “Defending the Christian Worldview.”

👋 Please Meet: LTC Dave Ward, USA (Ret.) 👋

👋 Please Meet: LTC Dave Ward, USA (Ret.) 👋

Q: What's your testimony?
A: I was saved when I was six years of age and did not truly ask Jesus to be Lord of my life until I was 19. Growing up in church, my faith has consistently been developed and grown.

Q: How would you describe OCF's ministry in your personal life as integrated at your current assignment or location?
A: My salvation and faith in God are extremely important (truly all that I have) and have sustained me through difficult times in Army career and that Christian fellowship, encouragement, discipleship are important to sustaining those serving. I’ve been in a position while still in uniform, and am in that position now where I have the ability to pour into the next generations of military leaders as they work their way through their career and encourage them in their lives.

Q: What motivates you to serve on the OCF Council?
A: OCF plays an important role in the lives of military leaders as they need encouragement and support throughout their careers. The service needs leaders of character and OCF helps them integrate their faith into their personal lives and their vocation. Military leader families are a rare entity and OCF serves to support them, and I think I can support the vision and mission, through that extension, support the ministry that OCF provides to the force.
