The Heartbeat of OCF

[…]to lead an OCF fellowship group–thank you!  You and your OCF group are truly the heartbeat of OCF, where lives are changed and love and service to one another are practiced. You gather for fellowship, prayer, and to hear the Gospel. The Bible is read, studied, and applied. And mutual compassion and support through the many trials and heartaches of military life is rendered with love, understanding, and compassion. Starting and Becoming an Effective Group The important thing is getting a group started so there is a safe place where you can encourage one another to acts of love, service […]

OCF Groups and You

[…]all the cadets/mids have to do is easily fit into the existing group, becoming consumers of OCF’s “product.” Becoming an owner means asking “What kind of OCF group needs to be at this location and what should I do about it?” rather than “Where is the OCF group I can join?” Remember—you are OCF. Your level of involvement and leadership is the determining factor in the success of OCF where you are now. Here are some suggestions on how an OCF fellowship group might look in differing environments: Home Bible study—officers, enlisted, retirees, or civilians meeting in someone’s home, using […]

OCF and Leadership

[…]Jim Hougnon, USA (Ret.) From the time I joined OCF in 1970 up until the mid-90s, I always thought of OCF as small group Bible studies. My guess is that most of our members and other military who know about OCF think the same thing. However, I have learned in the past ten years that OCF is not defined by Bible studies. OCF’s niche is Christian leadership in the military. Bible studies are a tool, arguably our most effective tool. However, nowhere in our purpose, vision, mission, or pillars do you find a call to small group Bible studies. We […]

Starting an OCF Small Group Fellowship

[…]book of the Bible works best. You can quickly learn (as a group) how to conduct an inductive study of one of the books of the Bible. Start with an easy one that is not too theologically challenging or too long-like one of the Gospels. Sometimes there is a topic of immediate interest that warrants searching the Scriptures to see what the Bible says. Here are some other potentially helpful resources. Once Established 1. Connect. Let the OCF Home Office (303-761-1984) know you have a new group started. 2. Continuity. Train your wingman or someone else to take over when […]

[…]a seven-month period in 2009-10, four — count ’em — four OCF members were in space, three of whom piloted consecutive Space Shuttle missions! In November 2009, CAPT Barry Wilmore, USN, flew Atlantis in an eleven-day mission where he and fellow crew members delivered critical spare parts to the International Space Station. And the ISS’s Expedition 22 Commander? OCF member COL Jeff Williams, USA, who was in space 167 days from September 2009 until the foillowing April. Endeavour‘s February 2010 mission, taking parts for an observation deck and a new room for the ISS, was piloted by Col Terry Virts […]

OCF at Garden Tomb

[…](Royal Navy) Richard and Captain (British Army) Rosalind Meryon, who have spoken many times at OCF’s conference center in White Sulphur Springs, PA, invite OCFers travelling to the Holy Land to contact them. The Meryons oversee the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem. “Rosalind and I greatly want to greet OCFers and their churches and groups. We will endeavor to welcome every one of you to this pinnacle experience during your time in Israel.” The Meryons were on the British Naval Staff in Washington, DC, from 1985-88 and back again from1992-1995 at the NATO headquarters in Norfolk, VA. Their son, David, who […]
