Prayer and Fasting | Dr. Levendusky
I would like to call our staff and families to a special day of prayer for Tuesday, March 15. Please meditate on these Scripture verses both now as you read them, and as they pass through your minds and hearts in the days leading up to our prayer time.

Pray without ceasing. (I Thessalonians 5:17) 

I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. (I Timothy 2:8)

Battalion Update | Capt. Vanderford
The second training quarter of 2022 began this past Saturday. This quarter, we have three advanced training units in the battalion; Flight and Missions each have three students, and EMT has eleven. This quarter's battalion leadership team consists of Michael Luke, Jaden LaBarca, Sergeant Major, and myself. Praise God with us for the work He accomplished in men's lives this past quarter, and pray with us that God will bring the changes that only He can. Please also pray that the 4 of us in battalion leadership this quarter will have wisdom and strength.
Basic Training Update
Cadre Training for Unit 66 is off and running today! The men in Cadre will be spending the next two weeks in an intensive training environment to prepare themselves mentally, physically, and spiritually for the challenge ahead of them. Please be in prayer for both the Cadre and the new recruits as we all prepare for the adventure of Basic Training.
Leadership Corner | Maj. Boulden
As we move into this new quarter, it's a good time to stop and remember two things. 1) Only the Gospel transforms a man and 2) we are tools in the hands of the Forger - we are not the forge itself. None of us can give what is truly needed — inward transformation. The Forger can choose to use us or not use us as He sees fit. We are all disciples under the one and true Disciple Maker - Jesus.
