Lost and Found Sale
We will be having our Lost and Found sale this Wednesday after Staff Lunch, from 1–2 PM. Some items will be available by a non-deductible donation, others will be available by silent action (tax included in the final price). 
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. 
ALERT Update | Capt. Vanderford
Thank you to each one who helped support scenario day. This event is a good tool to develop the students as it gives them opportunities to practice their skills in situations that mimic real life. The battalion also had a "tactical" that started Thursday and ran in the background until it ramped up to full speed on Saturday night. The battalion will be in staff families' homes for Thanksgiving in the afternoon Thursday and then back in class on Friday. We have another big event coming up this weekend where the men will be tested on many of the skills they've learned during the course of their training in ALERT. It's called "The Buddy Challenge" and will begin Friday night and run through the day Saturday. Please continue to pray for God to do work in the lives of the men through the last 2 weeks of training this year.
BT Update | Maj. Boulden
Unit 65 has been secured! Thank you to every who helped us make this happen and to all of those who came out last Friday to support the Unit in their accomplishment of finishing Basic Training. This week the Cadre will be spending Monday and Tuesday cleaning up and debriefing from Basic. We will then head out for the rest of the week for Thanksgiving. Please let Lt. O'Neal or myself know if there is anything out of place around campus that needs our attention. Thanks again for all the prayers and support.
Leadership Corner 
Most of us find ourselves with all sorts of decisions that we need to make but find ourselves putting off. We tend to spend our time working "in" the ministry and not "on" the ministry. "What are the five big decisions on your desk right now? Would others in your position have a different list? How much of your day is spent learning what you need to know to make those decisions? And can you make them all by Tuesday?" - Seth Godin

Let's make the right decisions today to make tomorrow better!
