Faith and Fellowship: Bringing Hope to Those in the Military, with David Warner – EM230

In the U.S. military, there are many Christians who need support and encouragement in their faith. Officers’ Christian Fellowship works to bring that support across the world to servicemen and women. General David Warner comes to talk about this organization and how it ministers to those in the military.

Through OCF, David came to know Jesus during his time in the Air Force. With the community of believers, he was able to find mentors and brothers in Christ who could help him through difficult times. After many decades of military service, he now works as the Executive Director with his wife at OFC, bringing hope to others in uniform.
