Welcome!

Welcome to the Operation: Hope Front Blog! Our ministry is for military wives, moms, girlfriends and female military members of all branches and ranks in Wilmington, NC. Our mission is to "Engage, Encourage, and Equip Military Wives with God's Love and Promises!"

We do this through five different areas:

(1) Bible Study/Fellowship: We have both a night and day topical Bible study that meets to discuss issues relevant to today's military spouse, mom, and female military member. Email us for more details on location! We also host a variety of activities to get to know one another.
(2) Practical Help during Deployment: We offer help during deployments such as childcare assistance, lawn care, basic car and home repair and more.
(3) Conference: Our annual conference is an amazing time of fellowship and worship with fellow wives in our area. Guest speakers, door prizes, music and more make this an event you don't want to miss!
(4) Outreach/missions: The ministry seeks to show God's love towards others, both inside and outside of the military community. Some past projects have included: sock/underwear drive for troops on the frontlines, Valentine's for Marines at home, and more.
(5) Spiritual Resources: We can get a variety of spiritual resources to help you as you face the challenges of military life!

If you are a military spouse, mom, or female military member, we'd love for you to be a part of this ministry! Shoot us an email at: military@scottshill.org !

Love in Him,
The Ladies of Operation: Hope Front
