Officers’ Christian Fellowship (OCF) highlights an interesting article from Col Al Shine (USA, Ret), describing what a Christian life should look like in the military.  It should impact every part of your life and profession:

“Jesus is Lord”
     …will be reflected in your integrity.
     …will affect your attitude.
     …will be a source of strength and guidance.
     …will affect how you fight.
     …will add a dimension of ministry to your life.

The evangelism associated with living a Christian life in the military is not described in the coercive proselytizing fashion of which it is often accused. 

Through chapels, OCF, and other forums, you will seek to carry out the Great Commission. All of us are called to be active parts of the Body of Christ, “prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have…. with gentleness and respect.” We are missionaries in the military with a message of hope and salvation to bring to the world.

The original article was written in Command magazine in 2006; the adapted version can be read on the OCF website.
