[…]Germany; small group leader and area coordinator, West Point; Emmanuel Baptist Church leadership board; Sunday school teacher, discipling cadets; cadet chapel, AWANA Personal testimony: I sporadically attended church growing up but never knew the Lord. That changed my senior year of college through the efforts of my grandparents and friends. I am still growing in my knowledge of the Lord and I thank Him for His abundant mercy and grace. What is the biggest challenge you see currently facing OCF right now? The current generation of leaders is more connected and inundated with information and secular viewpoints than any previous […]

[…]sets the tone for and gives oversight to OCF. Know that there is a responsible governing board and know who those board members are. Elected from the general membership, the entire OCF Council meets twice a year. Know that all appeals for funds are truthful and accurate. The only way we can honor the Lord is by being truthful and accurate. In all our dealings we quietly depend upon the Lord for His help, and not on our own skills (2 Cor. 1:23). If you have any questions or need any more information on the finances or the programs of […]

[…]Invite initial participants. Face-to-face invitations work best. Using flyers, bulletin board announcements, or e-mail works better after you have an established group going. 4. Be prepared. Take a look at the many resources available on this OCF website to help you–so take your time and look around! After the First Meeting After the first meeting you’ll have a better idea of what the group prefers/needs. Is childcare an issue? Find a creative way to mind the kids while the adults study the Bible. Is proximity to dinner a problem? Think about having a potluck prior to starting the Bible study. In […]
[…]service he’ll lead at the chapel. 0900 On a wall in the lunchroom of the home office is a corkboard dotted with photos, cards and notes from OCF leaders, families and fellowships. A transformation has just taken place: a room of chatter and laughter has become a sanctuary. After the daily devotions and prayer, staff members write and mail notes of encouragement, especially to known members on deployment and their families. 1000 Hank and Betsy Teuton, U.S. Coast Guard Academy; Bryan and Sherri Burt, U.S. Naval Academy; Tom and Cheri Austin, U.S. Military Academy; Steve and Rita Wade, […]

[…]to accomplish. This should help you as a leader by having others in the local fellowship “on board” with what you are seeking to do at your installation. Because of the above point, this study is a great introduction for your group to have a follow-on Pray, Discover, and Obey (also see the Pray, Discover and obey Leader’s guide). The obvious next step would be to schedule a “Pray and Obey” where you would draw aside for a “season” of prayer to ask God to show you how He sees your installation (the walls of Jerusalem), and in prayer, discern His […]

[…]has entrusted to us. Christ’s words in Matthew 25 are descriptive. Anyone sitting on a promotion board would understand them. “Well done, good and faithful servant.” (vss. 21, 23). “Wicked, lazy servant” (vs. 26), “worthless servant” (vs. 30). The more He gives, the more He will expect–yes even demand. Promotion is based upon potential, not reward. A military leader knows each promotion means that more will be expected of him by his service and by the nation. The military profession is very demanding. Christ’s words indicate that spiritual responsibility is also expected. Yes, it is demanded by the Lord of […]

[…]of becoming an officer. I had worked hard to get my application package ready to go before the board. But I did it, leaving the outcome in the Lord’s hands. And after twenty-one years of service, I retired as a major in the Air Force Reserve. I learned a mighty lesson about the power of Almighty God who moves beyond any obstacle. And because He is in control, I learned to leave the struggling, pushing, and prodding in His hands. This wasn’t the first time I faced obstacles. Some were overcome, such as my promotion to major even though I […]

[…]extinct. Your light will go out. Seek a local OCF representative. (See your chaplain’s bulletin board.) TIP: Before you head to your first assignment, call OCF at 1-800-424-1984 so you can contact an officer who is an OCF member where you are going. 2. Do not forsake ACCOUNTABILITY. You are known by the company you keep. Find a brother or sister in Christ and keep each other walking the talk. Go to your chaplain and ask where the Bible studies are being held. TIP: Seek out someone who will hold you accountable. 3. Decide now WHOM YOU WILL SERVE (Josh. […]

[…]ship taking 902 souls from New York to war in Europe via Greenland. Anyone who’s ever been aboard a troop ship as a passenger, with troops huddled in every nook and cranny of the ship, knows it’s not a Princess Cruises excursion! The sights and smells of huddled humanity aren’t soon forgotten. One day out of Greenland, a torpedo struck the side of the ship, killing all in the blast area, plunging the vessel into total darkness. Terrified and confused, the surviving soldiers scurried in search of exits and rescue boats. Chaplains Alexander Goode, John Washington, Clark Poling and George […]
