OCF and Leadership

[…]class for Officer Training School at Maxwell; when ROTC cadets drive across states to attend the Fort Stewart LEAD!; when OCF midshipmen buy 1000 tickets to get people to go see “The Passion of the Christ.” That is all effective ministry. It all happened because of small groups. If we have effective ministry without small group Bible studies, we are getting the job done. If we have small groups without effective ministry, we are failing. In most cases, effective ministry will die off without effective small groups, so we must continue to encourage that. But, the questions for the local […]

Six Generations: 1

[…]fellow Christian believers throughout the Corps of Cadets. Jon met Captain Paul Stanley at Fort Benning, Georgia during his senior trip and Paul encouraged him to take such a key spiritual leadership role within the Corps of Cadets. Paul Stanley would soon be stationed by the Army at West Point as an Admissions Officer and became a spiritual mentor to Jon for his final year. Despite his many other activities and duties, Jon was very desirous of leading in this meaningful way–personal and corporate Christian maturity–a path he had followed faithfully since becoming a cadet and was not about to […]

[…]that love God, to those who are called according to His purpose (the verse on the plaque at Fort Shine). “I remember as if it were yesterday,” Paul recalled. “I felt the power and significance of what Jon was writing me. 2LT Jonathan Shine, U.S. Army, was saying in what proved to be his last letter to me, ‘no matter what happens in Vietnam, I know it is going to work together for good.’ What a powerful and profound application of God’s Word by a young officer who was going into his first round of combat!” While difficult decisions for […]

[…]ceremony. Recent recipients of the award include Bryan Groves, an infantryman serving at Fort Bragg, NC; Mike Stone, a tanker serving in Germany; Marie (Roush) Hatch, an AG officer currently serving at Fort Campbell, KY; and most recently, Riley Post, an infantryman who just graduated from Ranger School and is enroute to graduate studies at Oxford [as a Rhodes Scholar]. Jon is also a recurring topic of discussion during the annual West Point-specific Rocky Mountain High rotation at Spring Canyon, Colorado, where Fort Shine is named after him. In particular, we recount the anecdote that Jon was led to the […]

Follow Me

[…]motto of the United States Army Infantry. This phrase is on the patch of the Infantry Center at Fort Benning, Georgia, as well as on the statue that stands in front of Infantry Hall. Despite such current use of this phrase, the greatest impact it had on the world was when a carpenter-rabbi from the village of Nazareth said it to four fishermen on the Sea of Galilee. The Gospel of Matthew records this incident when Jesus called to Peter and his brother Andrew and said to them, “…’Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men…'” (Matthew 4:19 […]

What Are Parents to Do?

[…]the promises of Psalm 91, parts of which we have posted in two locations in our home. We drew comfort from the words of David: He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in Whom I trust.’ Even though television reports, radio alerts, news articles, and telephone calls would often startle us, we faithfully trusted in our all-sufficient Lord Jesus. Because Darren was stationed at a small patrol base in the mountains, he could only […]

Impact Your Military Community!

[…]it happen. Petra Cafe is reaching thousands in our military community at the Presidio of Monterey, Fort Stewart and soon Maxwell AFB. Over 2,000 attended the first eleven cafes at Fort Stewart, while 2,600 participated in the first eight months of cafes at the Presidio of Monterey. The startling thing about the cafe is that half of those who attend are not Christians. In the various cafe events, there have been rededications and first time commitments to Jesus Christ– reaping a harvest for the kingdom. At Petra Cafe the gospel is delivered in a contemporary manner. The bands are focused […]

Leadership without Coercion

[…]for and testimony to his character and performance. Three years later we had both moved on to Fort Bragg, North Carolina. When he heard that I was on post, he sought me out. He said, “Sir, I want you to know that I am a Christian. I accepted Jesus because of what you said to us on your first day in the battalion and how you backed it up with your life.” He and I had never had a discussion about spiritual matters. We had a young chaplain in the battalion who did a wonderful job of ministry to soldiers. […]
