Kameryn Rein Schwarz

Founding Director, Former Chicago Police Officer

Kameryn had never given much thought to U.S. Navy SEALs—until God used the 2012 film Act of Valor to capture her attention and awaken a burden to pray for these warriors. Something about their courage and sacrifice stirred something deep within her. From that moment on, she began faithfully praying for these men — warriors she had never met but felt deeply called to stand in the gap for.

Four years later, Kameryn had what seemed like a chance encounter — an opportunity to spend a week alongside members of this elite community. But it was not by chance. God’s fingerprints were all over it. Nearing the end of the week, Kameryn felt a bold prompting to pray with the team — a completely unconventional request.

Before that moment, she admits she had a full-on argument with God. “I thought, ‘There’s no way. If I pray this prayer, I’m never getting invited back tomorrow.” But what followed was one of the boldest prayers of her life. “The Holy Spirit was so present during and after that prayer,” she remembers. “I literally thought, I can’t believe I’m saying these words in front of these men right now.”

That single prayer changed everything. It opened doors she never could have imagined and took her places only God could lead her.

“In that moment,” Kameryn shares, “God placed a holy assignment on my heart — to love, serve, and stand with this community for the rest of my life.”

Today, nearly a decade later, Kameryn lives in San Diego, walking out that calling through OCF — a mission to see suicide, addiction, and divorce rates in the NSW community radically decrease through God’s Word, prayer, and intentional community. “I honestly never imagined I’d do it through OCF,” she says. “But God is so faithful, so miraculous. He restores lives in ways we can’t begin to imagine. He loves you deeply and wants the absolute best for you. And I love you too. It’s my joy and honor to walk alongside you — to provide support that’s firmly rooted in Scripture and fueled by His love.”

Kameryn’s Favorite Bible Verse: Psalms 91
