God's Soldier and Workman
1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. 3 You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No one engaged in warfare entangles himself with the affairs of this life, that he may please him who enlisted him as a soldier.
OP3E is a “Disciplined Interactive Experience” that calls and challenges men of all ages to Engage in an active relationship with Jesus and brothers of like passion. As we grow in these relationships, we will be Enriched and motivated to share our experiences with others under an “Apprentice/Journeyman/Master” type model of training and discipleship. We will only accomplish this through the Empowerment of the Holy Spirit, His fruits and His gifts.
“And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.” Ecclesiastes 4:12
The actual Hebrew does not say “three strands” but simply “three.” The Hebrew word that is translated as “three strands” is msullas and it means “three.” In this verse the meaning is that three cords are twisted together for greater strength. Also, the Hebrew word that is translated as “resist” actually means “to stand against.” Along with the 3 E’s, “Engage, Enrich, and Empower there is the strength and safety in the threefold cord to stand against or “resist” attacks from the world or the enemy.
Converts come from decisions; Disciples come from dedication.
" A Godly Cause...
A Godly Adventure."
WE ARE CALLED TO 'ACTION'!

Married 43+ years (with 4 children, 5 grandchildren-with #6 shortly). I retired from First Energy after 43 yrs. of service. After many years of various church positions my wife and I were led to the school of ministry where we were both ordained. We planted an inner city multicultural church in Painesville Ohio, where we witnessed many authentic life changing salvations, healings and many deliverances.
Our ( my wife and I ) greatest Joy and fulfillment has been outside the walls... today our mission field is wherever our feet are planted…- I don’t consider myself a bible scholar, but I personally know the Author and 100% believe that God will use you if you let Him.

Greetings to all those who believe in Jesus and those who are about to.
Growing up in the Greater Cleveland area I have learned to appreciate that which is "real".
True and loyal friendships, grity work ethic, love of family, and authentic Christian discipleship.
OP3E is about all of the above.
If your heart is hungry for fruit that lasts, meat to eat that the world can't offer, and quenching your thirst with the living water that springs up to eternal life, come join us.

In December 2012, I rededicated my life to Christ at a midweek service as I felt Gods hand on my shoulder during the altar call. Three months later, my wife and I were water baptized and Spirit filled. I hit the ground running from the day I emerged from the waters a new creation.
At the City Mission, while serving the homeless men, God birthed a desire in me to lead men. In 2016, I began leading the Mens Ministry at my local church. As HIS mouthpiece I've been able to encourage men, to recruit and grow a biblical brotherhood contrary to the national decreasing statistics.
God has been using me since my rededication to execute Spirit lead prayer walks and plan biblical mens weekends that ADVANCED them further for God's Kingdom & His Glory.
It was at one of these Spirit-filled Advancements that the Lord birthed OP3E through Ken and I, and God Himself is still writing this story.
