Operation Iraqi Freedom
[…]supported them the best way we could–in prayer. It really meant a lot to me to see the picture of a group of people–arms around each other–gathered in prayer. God really is everywhere. How amazing to meet in a chapel on a multinational base in Saudi Arabia to celebrate Easter, play Australian songs in a praise band led by a Scotsman, hear the sermon from an American while sitting next to a Brit, and write about it from Japan to friends in Colorado. It was the beginning of some lasting friendships within the body of Christ, and that is why […]
Service Separations
[…]meals. When there’s just you and the kids, go simpler still. Fortunately most kids enjoy the easy-to-fix items. Forget about the china–use paper plates! Cut housekeeping to a minimum. If you leave the beds unmade to take the crew to the zoo or on a picnic, who’s to know or care? Turning the Inevitable to an Asset If God has led your husband to a career in the military, separations will inevitably be a part of it. But they don’t have to be destructive to your marriage, in fact, there is a sense in which they can be actually […]

Christian Leadership for the Junior Officer
[…]you will be pressured to make a quick decision. Be aware that most decisions you make are not life-or-death. In other words, whenever possible, take a little bit of time before making important decisions. The Bible is full of leaders such as Nebuchadnezzar and Herod who later regretted making hasty, bad decisions. At the same time, don’t labor over minor decisions. Be assertive. But do not allow yourself to be pressured. Ask questions until you are satisfied and confident of your choice. Sharing Your Faith. This is a sensitive area. Once you have earned the respect of your leaders, colleagues, […]
Staying Up Late
[…]I could sense the soldier didn’t quite know how to react to that statement. Then he said matter-of-factly, “Yeah, but sir, we stay up so you don’t have to.” I smiled and clapped my hand onto his armor-vest protected shoulder. “I know buddy,” I replied, “but it never hurts to get a visit of encouragement, right?” “You bet, chaps,” he said, obviously appreciative of the company. “It’s always good to see you.” For the next fifteen minutes, these two soldiers and I (there are always two on duty at night at each tower) talked about a myriad of things. I […]

The Space Between
[…]maturity as a Christian believer. The model is used by some Christians to emphasize the process of conversion, and the various decision-making steps that a person goes through before they become a Christian.” (A. Scott Moreau, Harold A. Netland, Charles Edward van Engen, David Burnett Evangelical Dictionary of World Mission, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engel_Scale) In my first active duty unit, the 68th Corps Support Battalion at Ft. Carson, Colorado, the space was shortened by several things. The Lord let me lead a family conference, which helped people get closer to each other and to Christ. Provider and Prussman Chapels were where the Lord […]
Time, Talent, Treasure: ROTC
[…]truth meant to be spilled over into others. Reaching future generations for Christ in the ripe-for-harvest mission field of college ROTC is where Rob and Chandra Enos and Tim and Penny Wiseman have taken the fruit of their respective conference center ministry experiences in service. Rob and Chandra are at Virginia Tech while Tim and Penny are at East Carolina University in North Carolina.. For Chandra Enos who “grew up OCF,” her Howard “Foot” and Louise Ingersoll parents sought out OCF small group fellowships at each new assignment, and the family forged “fond memories” from their vacations at both conference […]
Impact Your Military Community!
[…]few. Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest'” (Matt. 9:37-38 RSV). A base theater is jammed with 252 people to hear Christian rock bands Damask Rose and Joy Electric. The bands use their musical talents to deliver the gospel. The crowd includes soldiers (officers & enlisted) and family members, half of whom are not believers. During the intermission, a chaplain takes the stage, presents the Gospel and offers an invitation to accept Jesus. Meanwhile, fifteen volunteers from Fort Stewart’s Vale Chapel perform an array of “duties” in support of the event — everything […]

[…]his experience–and how he, too, had placed his faith in God. And it was only with a small twinge of disappointment, but also enormous satisfaction in the way we raised him, to hear him say he “wouldn’t mind going back again.” He did not feel himself a hero, but humbly took satisfaction in doing his duty and helping the people, whom he came to love. ‘Because He loves me’ says the Lord, ‘I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him […]

What you do and how you lead does matter
[…]to the OCF Class of 2012! We who have gone before welcome you to the profession of arms and the start of your great race the Lord has set before you. Crossing the threshold, you now carry two commissions simultaneously: one conferred on you from our Commander in Chief and one from the King of kings. You are now a Christian officer. Notice that “Christian” is in the adjectival position; your Christianity is preeminent and modifies, shapes everything else you do. As you launch out on your race, you can be comforted by some sage advice from the apostles. […]
