Nickerson, Dave and Bev - The Navigators

Eglin AFB, Florida

Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way; say to those with fearful hearts, "Be strong, do not fear; your God will come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you. Isaiah 35:3-4

Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. Make level paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed. Hebrews 12:12-13

Retired from the Air Force, Dave and Bev live in Niceville, Florida, about seven miles from Eglin AFB. Their work is ministering to active duty personnel who are interested in either exploring Christianity, or growing in Christ and helping others grow.

Dave works with the Chaplains and coordinates the Eglin Chapel Singles and Young Adults program. The Chapel has a dayroom where Dave can be found Monday -Thursday, 8:00-3:00. He can be reached there by calling 882-4046. Bev works one day a week as a floral designer and provides an environment of hospitality in the home on Sunday nights. Both do one-on-one ministry.

The Tuesday Night Bible study meets at 6:30pm in the Annex of Chapel Center. This study is for young believers and those interested in helping them. A meal is provided.

Thursday Game Nite is held at 7:00pm in the Chapel Dayroom in Dorm 19E. It's a time for hanging out, socializing over pizza, or a game of pool. Equipment for Wii, X-Box and Playstation2 gaming or DVD watching also available. The last Thursday of the month, Game Nite is held at the Eglin Bowling Lanes.

Every Sunday Night, 5:00pm, at Dave and Bev's house, a dinner is held for the physical appetite and Bible discussion for the spiritual appetite. Application and personal growth is the emphasis. Participants take turns leading discussions and often volunteer to cook a meal.
