“One of the hardest things during a move that mo

“One of the hardest things during a move that most of those we serve is settling in to communities,” said LCDR Brenden Kelley, USCG, who, with his wife Amy, helps connect OCFers in St. Petersburg, Fla. “It seems to take 6-9 months to settle in with local support structures, then you get 1 to 2 years, and then you move again. Having OCF available, even if it is just to talk with someone, really helps streamline that 6-9 months as much as possible.”

“In addition, we have found that those going TDY enjoy having someone they can call. Co-workers are all well and good, but being able to readily call someone that just wants to say ‘hi’ is nice,” Brenden said. “In fact, we have been hosting a young Coastie on and off over the past 5 months while their patrol boat is in drydock in Tampa, and had an Army physical assistant over for a couple of dinners while he was at a school in the Tampa Bay area.”

As PCS season begins, pray for OCFers as they farewell old friends, get connected to new ones, and navigate moving logistics. Pray also for the stability of the many small groups that will be affected by PCS season.

USNA's Class of 2028 midshipmen and their families

USNA's Class of 2028 midshipmen and their families are invited to attend OCF's Open House at its Maranatha Mansion this summer.

This is an excellent opportunity for the members of 2028 and their families to meet Christian classmates before Plebe Summer starts. Several of our OCF midshipmen will be present as well as some of the officers stationed at the Academy who are OCF members.

Visit the link in our bio for event details, and reach out to usna@ocfusa.org if you have any questions.

While White Sulphur Springs primarily serves to ho

While White Sulphur Springs primarily serves to host programming for military families throughout the summer and Christmas seasons, it also serves as a retreat and conference center for a variety of ministries and organizations ranging from campus ministries to military chapels to local churches.

No matter the size or nature of a group, the @wssocf team seeks to provide an experience uniquely tailored to the goals of each retreat and conference. They offer all the special activities, meeting spaces, and meals for groups of 10-200 guests.

Located in the tranquil Allegheny Mountain region, White Sulphur Springs boasts a convenient location for groups in the Pittsburgh, Washington, D.C., and Baltimore regions and beyond. Its location also makes for a convenient site for groups consisting of guests coming from various places.

Visit whitesulphursprings.org/group-retreats anytime to fill out the retreat inquiry form and explore options for your group's next gathering.

From Paul Homan, USAFA OCF Field Staff, in the #OC

From Paul Homan, USAFA OCF Field Staff, in the #OCFPowerinPrayer reminder: “We have broken ground, and the barn should be built over the next few weeks. The cadets are excited that we hope to move ministry into this new facility by this summer. Please continue to pray as we navigate the many aspects of bringing this project to the finish line.”

Witnessing transformation firsthand! It's a joy to know 800 cadets & midshipmen gathered earlier this year at several, multi-ministry ROTC retreats and are continuing their walks with the Lord. 👏

Want to listen to more of this Global Town Hall recording, where CEO / Executive Director Col Scott Fisher, USAF (Ret.), shared this encouraging snapshot of OCF ministry? Visit ocfusa.org/townhall to watch the video recording, or listen to the audio on OCF Crosspoint. 🎧

We've revamped the monthly Power in Prayer email!

We've revamped the monthly Power in Prayer email! 📨

If you are not familiar with PIP, it's an OCF resource designed to connect the thousands-strong fellowship of service members, their loved ones, and friends of the ministry in one of the most important things we as believers can do: pray. 🙏

Use this prayer guide to lift up one or several prayer requests, knowing other prayer warriors across OCF are using this guide to do the same. 🌎

If you were receiving PIP prior to February 2024, there's no additional action for you to take. If you've never received it before though, now's a great time to visit ocfusa.org/pip/ and subscribe to this monthly email before we send the next one in a few days. 🗓️

The Lord Jesus received the baptism of John for re

The Lord Jesus received the baptism of John for repentance, as an act of righteousness on His part, emphasizing that He took His position on earth as man. Although He thus received a rite that signified the confession (verse 6) and repentance (verse 11), both necessary in the case of man seeking God, He was baptized not “to fulfill all repentance” but “to fulfill righteousness” (Hebrews 4:15, Luke 13:3). 🕊️

For completeness, John the Baptist’s reference to Jesus “baptizing with the Holy Spirit and with fire” (Matthew 3:11) foreshadows both the work of the Holy Spirit in the Christian first seen on the Day of Pentecost, described as being baptism in the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38), and Judgment. Jesus will be our Judge (John 5:27) and that judgment, where we will be exposed to the consuming holiness of God Himself (Hebrews 12:29), will reveal the substance of how we have spent our lives (1 Corinthians 3:12-15). 🙏

From Larry Simpson, Pacific Northwest OCF Regional

From Larry Simpson, Pacific Northwest OCF Regional Coordinator, in the #OCFPowerinPrayer reminder: “On 21 April, I will run my 15th Whidbey Island Half Marathon. I began running in the half marathon to raise ministry funds for OCF in the Puget Sound area. People have been very supportive of my run every year for the past 15 years, so much so that many in the area look forward to contributing to the ministry of OCF through this fundraiser every year.”

Pray for Larry's health during @runwhidbey and for the future ministry his fundraising efforts will enable.
