Now a mother of two beautiful daughters, she and her husband are committed to living a life worthy of the call of Christ. With autumn’s arrival on the horizon, as you settle into […]

Starting an OCF Small Group Fellowship
[…]your valuable initiative, to consider: Before the First Meeting 1. Find a wingman. It may be your spouse or another couple if you are thinking of a home Bible study. Find a like-minded Christian co-worker for a workplace study. 2. Pray about starting a group, about who to invite, what to study, where to meet, time/place, etc. Let the Holy Spirit speak before launching on your own strength. 3. Invite initial participants.

[…]to yourself to be still? And not napping, catching a movie, or having a quiet dinner with your spouse, but an uninterrupted period of time just enjoying being in the presence of the Lord? Last summer I took part in OCF’s Rocky Mountain High outdoor leadership program. After a two-day trek, on the eve of summiting a 14er in the Rockies, we reached timberline.

[…]when your husband gets promoted, but your friends do not. GOODNESS… when the commander’s spouse calls at the last minute for help with a unit event. FAITHFULNESS… when you begin to doubt the strength God has given you to go on. GENTLENESS… when the baby has been crying all night and needs your loving touch one more time.

From Mid to Married to Mom
by Jacqui Kilpatrick I have my husband to thank for getting me involved with OCF. Or maybe it’s OCF I should thank for getting me involved with my husband! During our junior year at the U.S. Naval Academy, my then-company mate and future husband invited me to a weekly OCF meeting, where I found several of my track teammates also attending. He continued inviting me, so we would meet up after dinner and walk together to the planetarium. We officially started dating one month after attending an OCF retreat at White Sulphur Springs, married fifteen months later, and were […]
