Operation Heal Our Patriots Application

Encounter God’s Healing Love

This summer 170 military couples will be invited to experience a week of marriage enrichment at our lodge in wilderness Alaska. Apply now to be one of them!

Operation Heal Our Patriots gives wounded veterans and their spouses an opportunity to strengthen their marriage and find physical and spiritual refreshment. Couples enjoy the beauty of God’s creation and participate in Biblically based marriage classes that help build their relationship with each other and with Jesus Christ. Through our robust Family Care program, we continue to support participants long after their initial stay, keeping their spiritual needs and marriages a priority.

Before you begin filling out this application, be sure you have a digital photo of you and your spouse ready to attach, as well as your DD-214 (or service record, if you are active duty and spouse DD-214 if applicable). Applications cannot be submitted without both a photo and DD-214 attached. Please note: this application may not work properly with some older browsers and mobile devices. If you have technical difficulties, please call 828-278-1625.
