http://www.forceministries.com/ Mission: Christ-centered duty Purpose: - Impart faith in Christ. - Instill patterns and principles for victorious Christian duty. - Ignite individual calling and destiny. Defining passage: "From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it." (Matthew 11:12) NIV About FORCE Ministries. In the summer of 1997, While visiting the Naval Special Warfare Base in Coronado, California, Pastor Greg Wark entered into a conversation with a veteran Navy SEAL. During the conversation Greg asked the commando how he coped with emotional difficulties when returning home from a dangerous mission that could have taken someone's life. Looking at Greg smugly, the SEAL said, "All Ineed is a beer and a buddy," snickered and walked away. Greg immediately prayed, "Lord, give me these men." Soon after, many military people including a number of SEALs and BUD/s students began receiving Christ as their savior and they today, continue to grow as disciples. Force Ministries was born out of a sovereign, Spirit inspired burden that began with a simple prayer. Our purpose is to impart faith in Christ,instill patterns and principles for victorious Christian duty and ignite individual calling and destiny. Our mission strategy is simple and encompasses three major areas: Evangelism, Discipleship and Deployment. The Force Skydiving Team is our main evangelistic tool. In addition to this, our partnership with Champions for Christ allows us to team up with professional athletes for outreaches and events. Lastly, we are able to conduct outreaches while ships are out at sea through our relationship with the local USO office. Force Ministries also believes it is vital tolay a proper foundation in the new believers life. This is done through our discipleship program. We currently have Force Bible Studies on several military installations through out the world and have materials available to send upon request. We are here to provide chaplains and leaders with vital support and encouragement. Lastly, our goal is to provide spiritual support to families facing long overseas deployments. We are currently training missionaries thatwill be sent to serve overseas near military bases. We also provide prayer and intercessor support through our Force Multipliers prayer team. Force Ministries also produces a quarterly newsletter called, DUTY. For a free copy or for more information on our programs, please contact us at http://forceonline.org . Deployment Missionaries to the military bases and campuses Force Ministries will send and maintain military missionaries in strategic locations throughout the world. Funded through Morning Star Partnership Development, these workers will locate near military bases and campuses throughout the world. This effort will be headed by Lt Col. Art (Raylee) Smith, USAF (Retired). FORCE Multipliers (prayer and intercession support) Force prayer support teams will cover “harms way” military personnel through intercession, fasting and prayer. Conferences Force will follow the “Champions For Christ” model of ministry. Since the military special operations are the military equivalent to professional athletes, Force will involve the special operations personnel in existing Champions conferences along with the professional athletes. An annual national conference will be held for the military and their families. During these conferences, speakers will minister to the unique needs of the service people and their families. Base church services Force will provide assistance (speakers, workers) to the base chaplains for services held on military installations. Monthly “DUTY” newsletter Force will publish a monthly newsletter with supporting information, as well as information reflecting Force’s mission and purpose.

"marching AS to war" Maybe we should check their hymnals to see if they've scratched out the word "AS".
