Set A New Course

Your Word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. - Psalm 119:105

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word (Jesus) was with God, and the Word was God. - John 1:1

Then Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the Light of life. - John 8:12

We - Issac & Kaci have had their lives personally touched by several suicides. We personally know the pain associated with this from many different aspects. We also, personally know the transforming power of God’s Word as God’s sufficient means in revealing Himself to us in the Person of Jesus Christ. We don’t want to preach at you. We want an opportunity to come along side you in building a relationship where you can ask real questions and get real answers that bring light into the dark places of the heart.

Our Story Begins:

Operation Outcast is a beacon of hope. While, we are not the light, Jesus is the light. We bear witness about the Light to all men.

Issac -

I grew up in a Christian home in the mountains of North Idaho. My Father and I packed horses and mules into the Idaho mountains most of my life. I was a natural fit for the Army Airborne infantry. Just months after basic training, I was sent to Baghdad, Iraq. Our unit was tasked with patrolling one of the most hostile areas in the city and I soon found my partial, Sunday School understanding of faith to be incomplete in dealing with the experiences of combat. Sadly, I turned away from Christ for the next several years. For more than a decade I lived for the approval of others, and the praise of my accomplishments. After two more combat tours as a warrant officer and Apache pilot, I was eventually retired early due to some very extreme circumstances with family.

After years of secular "trauma therapy," that brought repeated disaster, the Gospel of Jesus changed my life. God used the ministry of Mighty Oaks Foundation, Biblical Counseling, and sound theology, that properly represented The Person of Christ to entirely change my life. I am now finishing a degree in Biblical Counseling with plans to obtain a graduate degree. I have a passion for teaching small groups how to grow in Christ by understanding God's goodness in their circumstances that may be difficult.

I have extensive adventure experience including 30 years with horses and wilderness packing, over 10 years in the Army, Combat Life Saver courses, Flight Training, SERE (Survival) training, EMT course, Life Guard course, and more. I look forward to hosting outdoor activities that engage young men while building relationships that share the love of Christ in word and deed.

A full testimony and book is coming soon...

Kaci -

I grew up in Vancouver, WA before my family moved to North Idaho when I was 14. My mom had me at 16 before graduating high school and my father was very much absent in my life. It was my grandma that first introduced Christ to me through church and Sunday school. But without a growing relationship with Jesus, I lived for all the wrong things, the approval of people, the next adventure in life, chasing the American dreams, etc.

When a series of suicides in my family came about that included my little cousin and my father, left me shattered, I didn't know how to move past the pictures that would play in my mind.

During this difficult time I met Issac and God used Him in wonderful ways to show me who Jesus truly is, as revealed in His Word. I became captivated by Christ-the Light who entered my darkness and helped me to reinterpret my pain through His truth. God has since used those very experiences to draw me closer to Himself and to give me compassion for others that are hurting.
