Speaker:
COL Kevin Bouren, USA
Kevin Bouren is a Soldier in the Lord’s Army and served as a front-line ambassador for Christ while wearing the uniform of our Nation’s Army for more than 30 years. A native of Phoenix, Arizona, he is a 1997 Graduate of West Point, commanded Soldiers in combat in Iraq, and served in numerous combat and peacekeeping operations around the globe. Kevin is passionate about making disciples and helping them to fulfill the Great Commission. His service to the Nation and our Lord is enabled and enhanced by a thriving marriage to Adra, his lovely wife of 25 years, who changes the world one child at a time as a homeschool mom to their four delightful children: Kayla (20), Brady (17), Annalise (8), and Luke (6). They enjoy the outdoors, mentoring officers through Officers’ Christian Fellowship, and using their gifts to serve together on film sets as they proclaim Christ to the world.
Kevin and Adra have been actively involved in OCF since Kevin’s Plebe Year at West Point, and they have continued to lead small group Bible studies while staying connected to the OCF community through White Sulphur Springs and Spring Canyon. Having just retired from the Army in October 2022—where they lived at 17 different addresses encompassing 9 states—the Bouren Family is now traversing the country in their RV. They are continuing their passion in Christian filmmaking and pursuing God’s next calling, which includes building a multi-generational vision for their family in the context of great Christian community, four seasons, and snow!
Topic:
“Man Up: Going ALL IN for Jesus!”
Men are commissioned to “man up” as husbands, fathers, officers, ministers, friends, stewards, and disciple-makers. As the darkness grows in our world, so must the men grow up in the strength and authority of Jesus Christ to meet this darkness with the Light of God’s Word. This is a message targeted at men but it’s for everyone! If you have a father, husband, brother, son, or fiancé in your life, or any other man you can influence, then this week is for you!
