A day in the life of OCF

[…]private homes; OCF’s conference centers, Maranatha Mansion at USNA, and the Fellowship House at USMA. Rita Wade now prepares for her cadet women’s Bible study, a ministry passion of hers and of others. Tom and Cheri juggle their USMA OCF baccalaureate weekend: four families lodging, making pasta salad for 500 people, hundreds of chairs set up for the spiritual commissioning ceremony, dozens of bridesmaids dressing for a wedding—and a power outage.  Bob and Kelly Plantz, Quantico. Supporting field staff is one facet of field operations director Chris Blake’s ministry of “helping others’ ministries succeed.” One of his East Coast trips […]

Time, Talent, Treasure: Academies

[…]scores of activities, including Bible studies, mentoring and discipling, and retreats, mission trips and mission trips. Abundant portions of fellowship, food and fun freely flow through the ministry settings of USNA’s Maranatha Mansion and USMA’s Fellowship House. Tom Austin, Bryan Burt, and their USAFA and USCGA counterparts’ collective ministry efforts rely heavily on their faithful teams of volunteers to make ministry happens. Such “force multipliers,” as Tom calls them, are also long serving, such as Dr. R. David and Mary Ann Hampton, whose fifteen years of service includes the USMA OCF tenures of Mike Tesdahl and Barry Willey, as well […]

Share this spiritual gift with your teen

[…]not forget this moment with my son. Brian and I stay after and help put out the camp fire. Many trips to the stream to fetch the water. Camp fire smells good, even going out. So many stars in the sky. Slept on a rock. I know better than that. Brian took up most of the tent. He claims I snore! Chilly morning, but not cold. Break camp, much laughter. Drove into town, had a hot breakfast at this mom-n-pop breakfast place, and we get a discount. We fill up most of one end of the restaurant. Delicious food. Hot […]

Six Generations: 3

[…]in Christ, including those brothers of ours who had remained behind to accomplish other missions. I knew then, however, that our fellowship–not just those who made the journey–but all fifty of our men, had achieved that which God had purposed for us to accomplish. I knew that it was time for us to begin going out from that place to carry our faith to others. Not eight months later over half our group would be gone to other parts of the world…we have eight men preparing for or serving in full-time ministry, two who have gone to college to return […]

It Didn’t Surprise God

[…]earliest available date to remove Heather’s thyroid allowed us to go ahead with the ski trip to Canada we had planned. It was great! God allowed us to put our fears aside and fully enjoy our children’s first ski trip. Soon, the doctors removed both sides of Heather’s thyroid. The largest cyst was about the size of a flattened golf ball, deformed by the pressure it placed on her trachea. She recovered fast and was soon breathing easier. Two days later, she surprised the girls at AWANA when she showed up to listen to their Bible memory verses. The remedy […]

Professional Excellence (Durfey)

[…]U.S. Coast Guard today must carry out economic, environmental, law enforcement and humanitarian missions while serving a key role in national security. A tall order. Its personnel must be “always ready” to respond; the challenge to leaders is to serve those who serve. Those most effective in that role are those who put others’ interests ahead of their own and put their trust in the Lord. By doing so, they exemplify the service’s core values of Honor, Respect, and Devotion to duty, and become true servant leaders. The Coast Guard core values cited above are simple yet godly. Honor and […]

Professional Perspectives for Senior Officers

[…]and vision, is a healthy people, a healthy nation, capable of fulfilling what God intends. If the missions of the people and of the nation are to be accomplished, visionary leadership directed by God is necessary. Modern examples of the vision of senior officers At the closing session of an OCF international conference some years ago, a U.S. Marine Corps officer expressed what God had laid on his heart: “This week, I have developed a vision for claiming the Marine Corps for Jesus Christ. ” He knew he could not accomplish that by himself, but he spent much of his […]

TTP – Competition

[…]the service component level, the competition rages on in the form of heated debate over roles and missions, to say nothing of the fight for budget dollars. Healthy competition is good and spurs us on to heights of success and excellence we would not reach striving individually. Yet we all know competition is too often taken to its extreme. How does the Christian leader achieve and promote healthy competition while maintaining an atmosphere that fits within the boundaries of “Love thy neighbor as thyself?” I learned a very useful technique for achieving this balance in Marine Corps Officer Candidate School. […]

The Five Myths of Mortgaged Rental Property

[…]you can’t afford that, you should probably reconsider investing in property. Have an emergency fund for unexpected large repairs. Don’t neglect property maintenance. If you let repairs accumulate, they will come due when you can least afford them.  Bottom line: Unless you’re able to account for these losses over time, you could cumulatively lose thousands of dollars.  MYTH #3: I should not pay any extra on my mortgage because I will make more in the market Would you rather have a paid off rental property earning you $1000 a month or unpredictable mutual funds? Many people assume that by investing […]

Laborers and Laboring as Unto the Lord

[…]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 Labor Day. And under God’s gracious and merciful providence–and borne […]
