Stewardship Project 
We are looking forward to hearing how you have used your "talent" in spiritual stewardship or in practical financial return for the Kingdom of God. Any “increase” does not need to be returned to the ministry, but if it is, this will be considered a donation since the $100 was given as a bonus. Please send your Stewardship Project reports to Dr. Levendusky by Wednesday, December 1. 
Thank you!
The Fredricksons would like to extend their heartfelt appreciation for everyone's help with Sophia & Angelo's wedding. It was a beautiful event and they are most grateful for your friendship and support!
ALERT Update | Capt. Vanderford
This will be a full week for the battalion with solo cross country flights, EMT Scenario Day, and the battalion both helping in various ways and enjoying the festivities on Advancement Day. The men will also do the last set of peer evaluations this weekend. Thank you to each one who has agreed to host men for Thanksgiving; I got a great response for that. Please continue to pray for wisdom for leadership and for God to work in the lives of the men.
Basic Training Update
Five days and counting! The days are long but the weeks are short in Basic Training. This week will mostly consist of the Unit's preparation for Advancement Day on Friday. Thank you for all the prayers and support during these last 7 weeks of training for Unit 65. They have been very much appreciated.
Leadership Corner 
In all the twists and turns of this past year and all the unknowns of the year ahead, it is reassuring to know that we serve the One Who never changes! 

"All other things have changed—all things are changing. But there is One who only has immortality, of whose years there is no end, and in whose person there is no change. The delight that the sailor feels when, having been tossed about on the waves, he steps again upon the solid shore is the satisfaction of a Christian when, in all the changes of this distressing life, he rests the foot of his faith upon this truth—'I the LORD do not change.' Whatever His attributes were in the past, they are now; His power, His wisdom, His justice, His truth are unchanged. He has forever been the refuge of His people, their stronghold in the day of trouble, and He is still their sure Helper." -C. H. Spurgeon
