Operation Military Cross was developed within the last six months through a seed God planted in my heart years ago. Although Christ had always been present in my life, it has only been recent that His calling has become stronger and more specific. I was fortunate to be part of a 72-hour men's retreat about a year ago, in which we were challenged to open our hearts to God. It was through this experience that I finally released my burdens to God and accepted Him as my savior. At the end of the 72 hours, I was presented with a small wooden cross that had been prayed over for those 72 hours. I have carried this cross with me ever since, realizing the amazing power that prayer has had on my life. God has blessed me in ways I could never image. It was this experience that led me to develop OMC and I hope to share this wonderful feeling of being free.

God has placed on me the challenge of providing a wooden cross in the hands of every forward deployed military member. In addition, providing the military member a unique opportunity to share their daily prayer requests with thousands of prayer partners around the world.

I know that through this program, God's amazing favor will be shown to not only those that make prayer requests, but those that surround them.

I truly appreciate you visiting OMC and hope that you will carry this message with you. If you are a military member, I encourage you to seek God's favor through our prayer request logbook. I know that God will answer your prayer and open your heart to feelings you have never imagined.

God bless you and your family.

Andrew B. Appleton, founder of OMC
