SUMMARY:Winter Sports Retreat 2
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:\nCOL Kevin Bouren\, USA\nKevin Bouren is a Soldier in the Lord’s Army and served as a front-line ambassador for Christ while wearing the uniform of our Nation’s Army for more than 30 years. A native of Phoenix\, Arizona\, he is a 1997 Graduate of West Point\, commanded Soldiers in combat in Iraq\, and served in numerous combat and peacekeeping operations around the globe. Kevin is passionate about making disciples and helping them to fulfill the Great Commission. His service to the Nation and our Lord is enabled and enhanced by a thriving marriage to Adra\, his lovely wife of 25 years\, who changes the world one child at a time as a homeschool mom to their four delightful children: Kayla (20)\, Brady (17)\, Annalise (8)\, and Luke (6). They enjoy the outdoors\, mentoring officers through Officers’ Christian Fellowship\, and using their gifts to serve together on film sets as they proclaim Christ to the world. \nKevin and Adra have been actively involved in OCF since Kevin’s Plebe Year at West Point\, and they have continued to lead small group Bible studies while staying connected to the OCF community through White Sulphur Springs and Spring Canyon. Having just retired from the Army in October 2022—where they lived at 17 different addresses encompassing 9 states—the Bouren Family is now traversing the country in their RV. They are continuing their passion in Christian filmmaking and pursuing God’s next calling\, which includes building a multi-generational vision for their family in the context of great Christian community\, four seasons\, and snow! \nTopic:\n“Man Up: Going ALL IN for Jesus!” \nMen are commissioned to “man up” as husbands\, fathers\, officers\, ministers\, friends\, stewards\, and disciple-makers. As the darkness grows in our world\, so must the men grow up in the strength and authority of Jesus Christ to meet this darkness with the Light of God’s Word. This is a message targeted at men but it’s for everyone! If you have a father\, husband\, brother\, son\, or fiancé in your life\, or any other man you can influence\, then this week is for you! \nGuest Ambassadors:\nDr. (LTC) Luke and Karen Hofmann\, USA\nMake a Reservation

SUMMARY:Winter Sports Retreat 1
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:\nLCDR Eric and Melanie McMullen\, USN (Ret.)\nLCDR Eric McMullen has been involved with OCF for over 30 years\, starting as a cadet and midshipman at Virginia Tech\, where he and Melanie met. They have been married for over 25 years\, and are blessed to be able raise and disciple their three awesome children: Rebecca\, Andrew\, and David. Eric served a full Navy career – first as a Naval Flight Officer\, flying as a RIO in the F-14D Super Tomcat\, and a WSO in the F-18F Super Hornet/Rhino. Later he served as the Computer Science\, Cyber\, and Modeling and Simulation Program Officer at the Naval Postgraduate School. Upon retirement\, God called the McMullens into full-time missions work\, partnering with Russians to lead short-term missions trips to share the Gospel\, make disciples\, and train and multiply other believers. Eric and Melanie are passionate about the vision of reaching the world through personal evangelism\, discipleship\, and multiplication… until there’s No Place Left to do that!\nTopic:\n“Reaching ‘No Place Left’ in the Military and Around the World”\nDo you want to see the military reached for Christ?  The world reached for Christ?\nAs we prepare to celebrate our Lord’s Advent into our world\, we’ll take time to think about those we know who are still far from Him. As a former Navy fighter pilot\, I appreciate how challenging evangelism and disciple-making can be in our military setting. So in an engaging and interactive series of evening sessions\, we’ll talk about practical tools and bring in stories – both from the military context as well as from my recent experiences from the field of Russian missions.\nGuest Ambassadors:\nLTC Rob & Emily Kurz\, USA (Ret.)\nMake a Reservation

SUMMARY:OCF Leading Women
DESCRIPTION:Uniformed female officers\, past\, present and future\, from all branches of service\, are welcome at Spring Canyon to be encouraged\, equipped\, and inspired in your Christ-like service and leadership!  We have lined up amazing female veterans who will lead sessions focused on the topic of “Come and Find Rest in Him\,” all based on passages of scripture. \nTopic:\n“Come and Find Rest in Him”\nSpeakers:\nKrystal Murphy\nDuring her 30-year military career\, Krystal moved 15 times\, deployed to the Middle East\, and traveled for temporary duty (TDY) more times than she can count. So\, she knows from experience how challenging it can be to find fellowship with people who “get” military women and the time and distance challenges of sustaining these relationships. So\, Krystal launched and currently leads 4 Word Women’s “Uniformed and Veterans” online community group. \nKrystal retired from the Air Force in June 2020. Her final assignment was in Stuttgart\, Germany\, where she served as the Deputy Command Surgeon for United States Africa Command (AFRICOM). At that time\, the AFRICOM surgeon’s office was responsible for the medical care of 13\,000 people deployed throughout Africa\, and for helping to build the public health\, healthcare\, and emergency-management resources of 27 African governments. Krystal has also commanded a medical group (hospital) and a medical squadron (multi-practice clinic). She also served as the 7th Air Force Surgeon General. \nHer primary career field (i.e.\, AFSC\, MOS) was Bioenvironmental Engineering\, and she still practices environmental health and safety in both the commercial and non-profit sectors. The impact of leadership and organizational culture on the well-being of employees is one of her passions and areas of expertise. \nKrystal has been married to one of her Air Force Academy classmates for more than three decades. He is also a retired Colonel. They have three adult sons. \nTami Waring\nTami is a 1984 graduate from the United States Air Force Academy. She served for 5 years in the AF as a Space Systems Analyst in Intel. After separating from the AF she followed her AF husband\, Hous\, around for over 24 years of his career. Tami and Hous have nine children and 16 grandchildren\, spread out in eight states. She homeschooled all her children and just sent the last child off to college in July of 2022. Currently Tami works for Officers’ Christian Fellowship (OCF) as the Staff Representative for Women’s Ministry. She enjoys reading and knitting in her free time. \nDiscounts:\nCompany Grade Officers qualify for discounts that lower costs to $110 (plus tax). \nCadets\, midshipmen and enlisted members qualify for discounts that lower costs to $75 (plus tax). \nLimited needs-based scholarships are available. Please contact reservations@springcanyon.org or (719) 395-2328 regarding scholarship requests or any other Leading Women Retreat inquiries. \nRegister for Event

SUMMARY:Summer Celebration #7
DESCRIPTION:Speaker:\nKeith Peck\nKeith has served OCF as a conference speaker for the past 38 years. He recently retired after 45 years of pastoral ministry in the Presbyterian Church of America. Thirty of those years he and Gale served in Annapolis\, MD\, ministering to and with the Navigator\, Cru and OCF staff at the US Naval Academy. Keith has been married to Gale\, his ministry partner\, for 48 years. Keith & Gale have five children and seventeen grandchildren. \n\nTopic:\n“Daniel: Engaging a Polarized\, Hostile Culture as Salt\, Light & the Aroma of Christ”\nIn our current cultural moment\, outrage has become more expected than surprising\, more normative than odd\, more encouraged than discouraged\, more rewarded than rejected. Outrage over election “fraud”\, COVID politicized government “overreach”\, mask & vaccine mandates\, “social justice”\, LGBQT legislation. We no longer discuss. We rage\, cancel and shame…too often mean-spirited and quick-triggered. In this culture of outrage\, Bono\, the front man for the rock band U2 warned\, “We must be careful in our efforts to confront the monster not to ourselves become the monster.” So how do we engage this culture with a different spirit\, the Spirit of Christ\, and become the kingdom-influencers and culture-shapers we are called to be? Daniel illustrates God’s answer to that question. \nGuest Ambassador:\nCH(CDR) Jim and Shirley Ellis\, USN (Ret.)\nMake a Reservation

SUMMARY:Summer Celebration #2
DESCRIPTION:Speaker(s):\nDr. Berkley Baker\nBerkley Baker served as an Army officer and has worked in healthcare for approximately twenty years. He serves as an elder at Hope and Life Fellowship and enjoys studying the Scriptures and teaching. He holds a doctorate from Georgia State University’s Robinson College of Business\, an MBA from the Goizueta Business School at Emory University\, and a bachelor’s degree from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Berkley lives in Lawrenceville\, Georgia\, with his wife and three children. \nTopic:\n“Purpose-Filled Living”\nPurpose can be defined as “the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists.” Understanding purpose enables individuals and organizations to act consistently with who they are. But in the absence of purpose\, there is a void. There is nothing like observing something doing what it was designed to do. And like the eagle\, snake\, and ship\, our authored purpose allows us to accomplish amazing things. While living a life absent of purpose leaves us\, like King Saul\, grounded\, broken\, and bottomed-out. \nThis session is about awakening to purposed-filled living. It begins by exploring how an intimate knowledge of who we are predated our design. Together\, we will explore the foreshadowing of purpose amid an origin story—the hints of personal meaning. We’ll consider purpose and progression while looking at how immaturity can cause us to stumble along the way. \nWe will discuss practical steps to recognizing purpose by examining frequency\, focus\, and faculty. Specifically exploring\, what happens early\, often\, and habitually in our lives. What we pay attention to and what distracts us. We’ll explore the role of physical and mental aptitudes in purposeful living\, as well as so-called luck. In this journey\, we’ll take the time to consider purpose derailed through surrender\, failure\, and shortsightedness.  And finally\, we will conclude by discussing how purpose reinforces our connection with God and others. \nGuest Ambassador:\nCol Chet & Michelle Arnold\, Jr.\, USMC (Ret.)\nMake a Reservation
