Who we are:
We are Bible believing Christians that are concerned about the spiritual condition of our nation. Our founder, Mike Doney, retired after 21 years in the U.S. Army. He has been involved in spreading the gospel and discipleship for over 25 years. As a retired Soldier, he has a close bond and concern for reaching our nation's veterans with spiritual truth. It was through prayer and spiritual counsel that Operation Stand To had its beginning.
Mike is sent out under the authority of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Carthage, TN (Pastor Ron Ralph).

Why We're here:
Across our nation, many churches and organizations faithfully honor those who have served and work diligently to meet the physical needs of those in need in their communities. This work is essential and deeply appreciated, and it must continue. However, there is another critical need that often goes unaddressed—the spiritual battles that many are facing.
The reality is sobering: addictions, depression, suicide, broken homes, gender confusion, etc. Despite significant resources devoted to prevention, counseling, and medical care, many people continue to struggle with deep feelings of hopelessness, isolation, and a loss of purpose. Physical wounds may heal, but unseen spiritual wounds can linger for years if they are not addressed.
The key to being able to fight and win spiritual battles is having a relationship with Jesus Christ. While this is common knowledge in Bible believing Christianity, there are countless people that have no idea that salvation is necessary to enter into a relationship with Jesus Christ.
While we strive to assist with physical needs whenever possible, our primary focus is meeting the spiritual need—because lasting transformation does not begin with circumstances; it begins when someone is reconciled to Christ. When reconciliation happens, purpose returns, hope is renewed, and life once again has direction and meaning.
"Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD."
- Psalm 31:24 -
What we do:
Our approach is to bring hope and encouragement by sharing the life-changing truth of God’s Word. We seek to do this through spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ in a variety of ways in as many places as possible. Our goal is to help others discover the truth, hope, and purpose that comes from a personal relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ.
We believe that when people understand the truth of God’s Word and trust Jesus Christ as their Saviour, they can experience real spiritual strength, renewed purpose, and lasting hope.
We desire to partner with local churches, encouraging and equipping them to reach their own communities. Local churches are uniquely positioned to provide ongoing fellowship, discipleship, and support. By working together with churches that are committed to biblical truth, we can help ensure that people not only hear the message of hope, but also become connected to a community where they can continue to grow, serve, and find encouragement.
