Ongoing
Ambassadors For Christ is an "ongoing" witnessing movement
for youth and adults of the LCMS. It is nationwide, making its ministry
available to all LCMS congregations. OAFC has ONE GOAL, to be used of
God to emphasize the saving Gospel -- Jesus suffered, died and rose in
victory for all sins so that all people can be certain of going to
heaven.
Ongoing Ambassadors for Christ will
celebrate its 40th anniversary in June of 2010 with its annual Summer
Training and an alumni reunion. A recognized service organization of
the LCMS, OAFC has touched the lives of over 36,000 youth and adults
who have learned to share Jesus in a simple way during its 40 year
history. Many have become pastors, teachers, DCEs and committed lay
members of our local congregations because of their experiences in
OAFC. Now we need to find you! OAFC alumni are encouraged to register
on the Alumni page at www.oafc.org. Alumni interested in
helping to plan the 2010 reunion may contact OAFC staff member Dan Barz
and alumnae Tammy Granner Mackie at alumni@oafc.org
or call Dan at 269.429.7521.
