Military Wife Fellowship Blog Spotlight: Fort Knox
By Aprille
I'd like to take a moment to make you aware about the fact that CMW is endeavoring to raise up groups of Christian military wives that meet in small fellowships, all over the country.
One of the groups that has been started is our group at Fort Knox. Fort Knox Christian Military Wives Fellowship is open to all Christian military wives in the Fort Knox, Radcliff, and Elizabethtown area. The group exists to provide Christ-honoring fellowship, prayer time, fun, and moral support to military wives of all ages. It is a ministry of the organization Christian Military Wives (christianmilitarywives.com).
Our get-togethers are always going to be spiritually-minded. We are not a group for gossip about other women or tear down our husbands. Ladies I would ask that at our meetings you refrain from un-Christian behavior and language. We are trying to establish monthly (and possibly bi-monthly depending on schedules) fellowship times and meetings.
If you are interested in joining our group and meeting other ladies in the Fort Knox area for fellowship, there are a couple of different places you can find us:
1. Here on CMW. If you haven't yet become a member on our website, please do so! (christianmilitarywives.com) Once there, you can find us under the "groups" tab at the top, or simply follow this link: http://www.christianmilitarywives.com/groups/profile/103
2. We have started a group on Facebook, to make it very simple to find new members and make it easy to include everyone in all of our events. You can find the link to our group here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=188530807080&ref=ts
I hope that you will check out our group!
Thank you!

Join A Small Group
By Patti
One thing we are trying to focus on here at CMW is cultivating our small groups. It is very important that we stick together as military wives, lifting one another up. I hope you consider to join a small group in your area... if you do not have a small group in your area, please consider creating a small group. It will be such a blessing to you and others to have friends of like minds to worship together with, uplift each other in prayer and to help each other in times of need.
Here are three phases CMW has come up with to help your small group succeed. Along with these phases, Carmen Bell - our Military Wives Fellowship Team Leader will help leaders by equipting them with the word of God as well as helping small group leaders get their groups off to a great start!
Phase I - Till Your Garden
* The 10 +10 Challenge: Every day, read your Bible for 10 minutes and pray for 10 minutes
*Encourage other military wives to do the same
Phase II - Plant Seeds
*Begin a Military Wives Fellowship in your area. MWF can take place at your home, the library, your church, a coffee shop, your local sewing group. If you enjoy doing something, find like minded military wives who also enjoy what you like - for example, if you like scrapbooking - invite other scrapbookers to get together, be sure to include Christ - this can be an outreach. I like coffee, so I will have bi-weekly meetings at a coffee shop with other military wives. The military wives do not need to be Christians to attend, we will open in prayer and we will keep our conversation good. We will have devotions.
*You can advertise your group online, publish "public announcements" in your local newspaper (its free), hang up signs around town...
*Continue to challenge yourself to 10+10 as well as other officers, your group members and friends.
Phase III - Take Care Of Gods Garden
*Build relationships with the wives who come to your small group (sunshine)
*Equipt them to reach out to others (fertilize the garden)
*Teach them the word of God (feed and water the garden)
*Teach others in your group so that they may start their own groups, reaching out to more and more military wives and families
Phase IV - Harvest Time/Rest
*Take time to rejoice in Godly relationships you have made, and watch in awe as you see your group grow and flourish, reaching out to so many others!
*Don't forget to take time to rest, God even did that when creating the world. Rest is important so you will be able to feel refreshed, and to be able to continue on!
