The Navigators
To Know Christ and Make Him Known









 

Strike Force

Reaching this Generation for Christ


  
Adventure, identity, purpose, meaning, and fun . . . all these describe Strike Force--a short-term missionary experience with The Navigators Military Ministry. Strikers usually serve one to two years at the same location. Friendship and intimacy is what Strike Force is all about. So whenever possible, we love to team up Strikers to minister together.

Navigator staff with years of experience act as spiritual parents and mentors. They help Strikers to build a foundation of biblical convictions and learn how to be spiritual warriors. Strikers then use these foundational concepts to passionately reach out to military personnel, to make a difference in the lives of those they touch, and to be Christ's light and love.

The method for laying this biblical foundation varies, but there are some constants. Each Striker completes the Topical Memory System, reads selected books, and works through specific Bible study assignments designed to help them in their discipline to study the Scriptures and communicate with God. Like the training methods, Strike Force activities also vary from place to place. At most Strike Force locations, evangelism activities begin with visiting folks in the barracks and hanging out. Strikers are trained to communicate the Gospel by asking questions and engaging in a dialogue, not by always making statements. The focus is on not talking "to" people about Jesus, but talking "with" them about Jesus.

Social activities are a great way to fellowship with believers and to bring in non-Christians. Rock climbing, surfing, and kayaking are big at Camp Lejeune. At Offutt, volleyball, game nights, and movie nights are some ways to connect and have fun. Picnics and cookouts are great, of course-chow always brings people out!

Identity. Purpose. Meaning. Adventure. FUN. Interested in learning more?
