Support for the Burches
Chaplain Burch's brother passed away last week. Thank you for your continued prayers for their family during this difficult time. After being in Louisiana, Chaplain and Mrs. Burch are in self-quarantine. If you are going to be in town and are willing to pick up some items, please contact Mrs. Burch at 903-714-8632. Also, if you have any non-perishable items that you'd like to bless them with, you're welcome to drop them off near the white trailer by the Medical Building and call/text Mrs. Burch to let her know. 
Battalion Update
Despite all of the new protocols that are in place now, the battalion is blessed, thriving, and thankful for God's goodness to us. The EMT students are being challenged daily with academics and medical scenarios; CST is working hard to maintain and support the campus while Dive, Flight, and Missions students are breaking new ground in areas they’ve never been challenged in before or experienced. On top of all the outward things that are taking place, God is doing a mighty work in the heart of each man. They are continually encouraged with each meeting, Bible study, and personal time alone with God. Pray for SMaj. Nafziger and the Unit Leaders as they look to provide strong leadership for the Battalion. Pray for the students, that they will let their needs drive them to God, and that God will meet their deepest need!
Leadership Corner | Maj. Boulden
Is everything going to be okay? That depends. If we mean, “Is everything going to be the way it was and the way I expected it to be?” then the answer is no. The answer to that question is always no, it always has been. If we mean, “Is everything going to be the way it is going to be?” then the answer is yes. Of course. If we define whatever happens as okay, then everything will be. Given that everything is going to be the way it’s going to be, we’re left with an actually useful and productive question instead: “What are you going to do about it?"
