This will be my Last Sunday

This coming Sunday night - January 2nd - will be my last service with the dear people of Bible Baptist Church in Mountain Home.  This will not be easy for me as I have invested almost 16 years of my life here.  I love these people very much, but I know God will care for them.  It is such a blessing to see how many of them came to Jesus while here and others who have grown leaps and bounds spiritually since they have been here.  To God be the Glory!  Because of Christ, we will see each other again someday...Either here, there, or in the air!

CH-BOLC Class #11-001

     I will be posting comments and pictures  to keep you updated while I am at Chaplain Basic Officer Leadership Course at Fort Jackson, SC from 09JAN to 08APR.  I will try to update it as often as possible, but they will keep us pretty busy...and wore out from PT! 

     Please keep me in your prayers that I can keep up with the younger chaplains going through the course during the daily PT, height/weight checks and AFPT tests (pushups - situps - 2 mile run) which we will have to take several times during the course. 

     Graduation Ceremony is April 8th at 10 a.m.   Hope you can make plans to be there!

     Here are a couple videos of previous CH-BOLC classes...Enjoy!

 

     I trust you all will have a very Merry CHRISTmas and a Blessed New Year!

Taking the Oath of Office

Well, it's official!  I became Chaplain (1 LT) David Ravenscraft, Sr. on 17 December at Mountain Home Air Force Base (I will pin on Captain in just 6 months).  It was extra special because one of our church members (Major Ken Fetters) administered the Oath to me.  Several family and friends were there with their cameras.
