A day in the life of OCF
[…]arrival to Pensacola, starting next year, began earlier this year with their trip to WSS for summer camp. When Pensacola’s upcoming vacancy was announced, the Arnolds’ desire to “better serve God in the military community“ spurred them to apply for and be selected to that position. At this hour in Pensacola, after ten years of service to the Lord, the last fellowship gathering in Mike and Arden Patterson’s home has concluded. While the group of fifty is now gone, having shared laughter, fellowship, and twenty-seven pounds of Shepherd’s pie, this final night’s emotional impact has just arrived. Eagerly anticipating the […]
Finishing Strong, in Iraq and Life
[…]danger. And now just over eight years later on 21 December, the war in Iraq officially ended. Last summer while performing and ministering to our military personnel there, a question emerged in my mind: are we finishing strong? Finishing strong in any endeavor depends on knowing where we started. The military mission in Iraq went through its own evolutionary process, and now the finish looks like this: the U.S. presence in Iraq created the opportunity for a divided nation to unite democratically under one flag and voice. And If Iraq embraces this prospect through wise choices, they will pass on […]

[…]studies as a West Point cadet, attended OCU conferences, and was at Spring Canyon’s first-ever summer camp season in 1962. The Vaughns also serve as Spring Canyon Advisory Council members. Feeling “especially burdened for those in the military, ” over the years the Vaughns led chapel Bible studies, mentored couples and ministered to West Point cadets. “Both of us came from chapel-going families, but neither one of us really heard about Jesus there,” said Kit, a former Army nurse. “It’s easy to think you are ready for heaven, when totally blind to the truth.” It was at a ROTC retreat […]

Ice Cream in Iraq
[…]The temperature here at night right now usually gets down to nearly freezing. However, in the summer time, it gets up to 120-130 degrees Fahrenheit. 7. Are there a lot of camels running around? I’m pretty sure there are but I have never seen any of them. I’ll keep looking though! 8. Do you have any friends in Iraq?I have lots of friends here. Many of them are people I came here with when we left Hawaii. Many of them have children in school just like me. I hope they are getting letters from their son or daughter’s classmates like […]
It Didn’t Surprise God
[…]treatments. The first radiation treatment was completed just before the Air Force moved us last summer. Then after finding a new doctor in Kansas, the December images from the second radioactive treatment revealed the possibility that the cancer had spread to two spots within Heather’s chest cavity. Our concern was replaced with thanksgiving in February when the positron emission tomography (PET) scan showed no sign of cancer. Hallelujah!! Although we have been privileged to experience many blessings through the course of Heather’s treatment, three are prominent. First, God’s sovereignty was impressed upon our hearts. What appeared as calamity when cancer […]

Laborers and Laboring as Unto the Lord
[…]worker, Labor Day’s holiday observance has evolved to where today it’s the unofficial end of summer and its plethora of warm weather activities. One last picnic, trip to the beach, or pitched tent in the great outdoor before green leaves take on the rusted glow of autumn. And lest risking a fashion faux pas–no more white purse or slacks past September 5, either! Oregon was the first state legalizing a holiday in honor of workers, doing so in 1887. Seven years later Congress followed suit nationally by declaring the first Monday of each September a legal holiday in observance of […]
