Impact Your Military Community!
[…]community, if only the local chapel had the laborers needed to support the mission. Purpose In OCF we are enjoined to ” . . . minister effectively in the military society.” Being a part of the chapel family provides us with opportunities to minister effectively to those with whom we work and deploy. However, the contrast between civilian churches and the military chapel can be significant, making the decision on where to fellowship difficult. Civilian churches often provide an exciting worship experience along with established outreach and family programs. Chapels usually have small congregations and few outreach ministries. But, the […]
Interview with Chaplain Beach
[…]programs are provided. He is responsible for what occurs on his base. This means he will want to know and exercise approval or disapproval of programs. The special staff professional who is provided to assist him is the chaplain. Officers’ Christian Fellowship groups meeting or advertising on any base (including quarters areas) should submit to the military authority of the command via the chaplain. Any Christian commander will do well to know what groups are meeting on his base and what they are all about.

Letter to My Sergeant
[…]it takes.” Now, seriously wounded, it will be some time before you return to duty. I want you to know that I’m praying for your full recovery. Your wounds came during spiritual battle, but they can be even more damaging than wounds to the body. You were wounded by things hidden in your heart — sexual sins acted out.

My complete view on life was changed by the Christ I had always hated and ignored before. Soon friends and family learned of my decision to be a follower of Christ, and they could hardly understand it. New Life in Christ Big headlines appeared in the papers: “Pearl Harbor Hero Converts to Christianity.” Old war buddies came to visit me, trying to persuade me to discard “this crazy […]
Re-entry Reminders
[…]of reunion and readjustment. Normal has changed for everyone. Be patient–it takes time to get into a routine. Soldiers haven’t been on a vacation. Expect your household to be different. Keep life as routine as possible. Take time to re-adjust to one another. Go slowly. Communicate feelings. Anxiety is normal. Discuss frustrations. Accept that we are all different. Initial discomfort in adjusting doesn’t mean your spouse is unhappy with you or the family. Communicate ahead of your spouse’s return about radical changes in your physical appearance (once a redhead now a blonde). Communicate about changes in discipline of children. […]
Service Separations
[…]this wonderful positive attitude?” A verse I often remind myself of is Romans 8:28, “And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them” (New Living Translation). This doesn’t mean that everything that happens to us is good! I don’t think any of us would jump for joy when the washing machine breaks down, or break into a song of thanksgiving when our child comes down with the chicken pox!
