| COVID Update This important video was taken March 26, 2021 at the Lt. Governor’s office in Idaho in a presentation by Dr. Ryan Cole, a medical doctor who has training and experience treating COVID-19 patients. His message is encouraging (the pandemic is past), instructive (regarding Vit. D, zinc, ivermectin), and motivating to help friends and family. May this message benefit you in your personal care and the care of those who you help and influence. |

| Leadership Corner: The Speed of Trust
Teams move to the speed of trust. How we interact with people on a daily basis either builds or breaks our teams. Trust is built daily — the better the trust, the more your people are willing to work and sacrifice.
This week, let's build trust by
Clarifying expectations
Acknowledge good performance
Give and receive feedback
Keep your commitments
Be loyal to the absent
Apologize sincerely
Listen to concerns
Put someone's name by each one and then go out and build some trust!

| Battalion Update | Capt. Vanderford
Missions class left yesterday for their second week of rebuild work in LaGrange TX. Next week they will travel to Pennsylvania for a weeklong missions training camp with Ethnos360, and then Lord willing, the next week to Mexico for about a 10-day trip. Needless to say, things will be very busy for them. The EMT's have begun clinical shifts and will continue this interspersed with class days for the next several weeks. The flight students are progressing along one step at a time and are each building new skills toward their end goal of getting their pilot certificates. CST is busy as always as they help the various departments in getting ready for the fast-approaching conference.

| Basic Training: Week Three
Week three of Basic Training is off and running! The men will spend most of the week building on their navigation and ropes and knots skills and taking different classes on First Aid. At the end of this week, the men will be doing the 15-mile 6-Hour Hike. Please be in prayer for them as we continue to ramp up the pressure and "forge" these men for the Kingdom.
