Interview with Chaplain Beach

[…]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. When religious organizations wish to operate on base, they must be subordinate to military authority. This is not restrictive; it opens doors to witness! Military authority at […]

Share this spiritual gift with your teen

[…]So grateful for this time. Good breakfast, packed gear, drove to our camp site. Pitched tents, staff is fired up, everyone is fired up. The boys go exploring for a bit. Young warriors, fearing nothing. Later, the staff takes most of the group up into the mountains to a trail. Andy leads us on; beautiful country here. The trail parallels a small stream. Beaver dams near the headwaters. Incredible. Aspen trees, huge aspens. Dinner is so good; hungry after hiking all day. Sharing tonight around the campfire. Humble moments of pride, things that need to be shared, easy to get […]

Time, Talent, Treasure: Retirees

[…]in my family knew what had happened to me in Afghanistan, my OCF extended family from senior staff and conferences was already praying for me. People in Germany who I didn’t know at all were coming to comfort me. I even had a friend from staff take almost every conceivable form of transportation to come from England and help care for me. That’s how the Body of Christ should work, and I’m so glad that there is an organization like OCF to support and strengthen leaders and families in our […]

The Line Officer and the Chaplain

[…]career, you will one day be a military commander. One or more chaplains will be on your unit’s staff. If you’ve served Christ in chapel programs before your command assignment begins, you’ll have a much deeper understanding of how they can help you and a better rapport with them as individuals (Romans 12:10). This will greatly enhance the spiritual ministry that takes place in your command. Your prior experience with chaplains will enable you to reinforce one another rather than compete or conflict. Your guidance to chaplains, and your response to their advice, will be wiser and more effective. You’ll […]

For All Leaders

[…]from remarks originally presented to a group of Christian officers attending Air Command and Staff College at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. William J. (Joe) Shirey, (Colonel, USAF, retired), was commissioned from the Air Force Academy in 1976. He was an F-16 Squadron Commander and served in various staff assignments in NATO, the Pentagon and Air Combat Command. He retired in 2001. He and his wife, Johanna, have four daughters: Sarah, Katie, Rebecca, Emily. They have been actively involved in OCF and other military ministries since entering the […]

OCF and Leadership

[…]The small group Bible study is our primary tool for this encouraging and equipping. One of our OCF staff members says we need to produce qualified elders. He is right, but “elders” is a church term that means different things in different denominations, so a more applicable term for us is leader. Military people understand leadership. Cadets at West Point know from day one that the mission of the Military Academy is “To educate, train, and inspire the Corps of Cadets so that each graduate is a commissioned leader of character…” (italics added). The other U.S. service academies have similar […]

Six Generations: 3

[…]just finished setting up and started playing. This individual started asking the conference staff that was around what was going on. We explained to him what we were doing and one thing led to another and BAM!!…out of the clear blue he wanted Jesus in his life. We called all the men around that were there and prayed with him. I thank God every day that He can use men all around us for His glory.” Indeed He can! God began this ministry of multiplication through generations of faithful men years ago, using Jon Shine as a powerful influence on […]

Time, Talent, Treasure: Academies

[…]provide OCF presence at the U.S. Military, Naval, Air Force and Coast Guard academies as field staff reps. These couples—Tom and Cheri Austin, Bryan and Sherri Burt, Steve and Rita Wade, and Hank Teuton, along with his late wife, Betsy—and their teams have responded to God’s call, Here am I. Send me! And share the good news of Jesus Christ by selflessly pouring into the lives and souls of these budding military leaders.  USMA OCF’s Tom Austin and USNA OCF’s Bryan Burt, themselves graduates of the same academies they now serve, both became Christians via the OCF Bible studies and […]

Time, Talent, Treasure: ROTC

[…]investing in college-age students, their leap of faith led them to God’s open door of full-time staff with the Cru Military ministry’s Valor at Virginia Tech, ministering to “the 1000 cadets in the corps.” In partnership with OCF, Valor’s vision is reaching these “future military leaders for Christ, helping them grow in their faith to become disciple makers at their future duty assignments around the world,” said Rob. Tim, a full-time ECU employee, is the OCF and Valor area coordinator and also devotes off duty hours facilitating an Army and Air Force cadet Bible study. While Tim’s OCF involvement ramped […]
