Our veterans are on the water! God provided a spectacular sunrise. Please pray the rest of the weekend is transformational and healing.

Our next 𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙄𝙏 retreat kicks off this weekend, and we would love for you to partner with us in prayer.

Take a look at the graphic for specific ways you can lift up these veterans, captains, and volunteers over the next few days.

Local to Sneads Ferry? Join us this Friday morning at 0630 at Pelagic Hunter Fishing Center at New River Marina to welcome the guys and send them off right with prayer.

Thank you for standing with this mission and helping us pour into these men.

THIS is what Kingdom partnership looks like!

What an incredible blessing to witness these young men from Jacksonville Athletic Academy publicly profess their faith in Jesus Christ through baptism! But what makes this moment even more special is the beautiful relationship God has built between three very different ministries.

NE Florida Fellowship of Christian Athletes hosts a weekly huddle with JAA, Operation Barnabas Inc. veterans volunteer their time to pour into these young athletes, and Jacksonville Athletic Academy faithfully supports both FCA and Barnabas. And behind all three ministries are faithful local churches that pray, give, serve, and help make this work possible. Most importantly, these young men are being connected back into the local church, where they can continue growing in their faith, being discipled, and becoming part of a church family.

We love watching God bring people together who might otherwise never cross paths. Veterans mentoring young men, athletes encouraging veterans, churches investing in the next generation, and believers working together to advance the Gospel. Different missions, different generations, but one Savior! This is the Church being the Church!

Congratulations to these young men! Baptism is just the beginning, and we can't wait to see what God has planned for your lives!

To Him be ALL the glory!

A Community That Cares. A Difference That Lasts. 🇺🇸

We are incredibly grateful to Clay Electric Co-op for their generous grant through Operation Round Up!

What makes this gift so special is that it comes from everyday people choosing to make a difference, simply by rounding up their monthly electric bills.

Small acts of generosity. Together, making a tremendous impact.

Because of partners like Clay Electric, we can continue walking alongside veterans and their families as they rebuild their lives, restore relationships, and rediscover hope and purpose.

To Clay Electric Foundation and every member who makes this possible, THANK YOU! You are part of the restoration stories still being written.

Help us thank Clay Electric! 🙌 Take a moment to LIKE this post, SHARE it with your friends and neighbors, and TAG someone who is a Clay Electric member. Let's show this incredible community just how much their generosity means to the veterans and families they are helping restore!

To God be the glory! 🙏🇺🇸

What a blessing to see our veterans sitting together, sharing a meal, and hearing powerful testimonies of God's amazing grace!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to Matt McConnell and the First Coast Prayer Breakfast 2026 for graciously providing a table for our veterans to attend this wonderful event.

Hearing the incredible testimonies of Mark Whitacre, “The Informant,” and Scott Ryser was a powerful reminder that no life is beyond God's reach and that He is never finished writing our stories.

For those of us who walk alongside veterans facing some of life's darkest battles, that message of hope, redemption, and second chances is one we can never hear enough.

Matt, thank you for remembering our veterans and giving them a seat at the table. It meant more than you know!

To God be the glory!

At Operation Barnabas, we don’t take prayer lightly. It is a great weapon and a deep source of hope.

Right now, we are fighting for the souls, marriages, children, and hearts of our veterans. We need you in this fight with us.

Will you set an alarm for 0630 on October 16th? ⏰

Join us in lifting up our next class of veterans. Let’s cover them in prayer exactly when they need it most.

𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟲𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝘁 𝟬𝟲𝟯𝟬, we’re gathering at the Pelagic Hunter Fishing Center at New River Marina in Sneads Ferry.

We’ve got 12–15 veterans and active duty service members gearing up to hit the water across 6 boats guided by our incredible local charter captain volunteers. Before they cast off, Pastor and USMC Vet Dwayne Collins of North Topsail Shores Baptist Church will be leading us all in prayer.

Your presence would mean the world to us as we prepare to pour into these men, cover them in prayer, and share our beautiful coastal fishing with them. Come stand with us and send them off right.

Mark your calendars. 📅
See you next Friday morning.

Unafraid. Every retreat we no longer pray for God to show up. We pray we are ready when He does because He is faithful and true!

Plot twist: John and Trey aren’t actually the founders. 😂

Their daughters met first—and that friendship eventually brought John and Trey together. So technically, THEY started this whole thing.

As we approach a historic change, we’re taking some time to document the stories, people, laughs, and God-moments that brought us here.

Ten years of history.
And something new is coming.

4:36

Stay tuned. 👀

This is what restoration looks like. ❤️

A single father. A veteran. Reunited with his girls.

Sometimes impact isn’t measured in numbers, programs, or reports.

Sometimes it looks like two little girls finally getting their dad back.

This is why we fight so hard for restoration—not just of veterans, but of families.

There is still a road ahead. But today, we celebrate this moment.
Dad is home. His girls are in his arms. And a family is being restored.

If this picture moves you, share it. Someone needs to be reminded that restoration is possible.
