Thank you!
Thank you to everyone who came out to Staff Cleaning Day! We really appreciate your help and willingness to jump in wherever there is a need. "[In Christ] the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love." Eph. 4:16 |

Meal Billing/Event Meals
Please note that we are still finalizing the summaries/billing for the week of the Big Sandy conference. You should be receiving the summaries/billing for the second half of April early this week, followed by summaries for the first half of May. Note that the meals for employees during the Family Conference week were partially paid by IBLP, so you will see these reflected as $2 (plus tax) for adults. Dr. Levendusky would also like to welcome all of our staff to attend the Advancement and Graduation Banquets at the reduced meal rate of $2.00/adult and $1.50/child, graciously covering the remaining meal cost as encouragement for our staff to mingle and interact with our guests.
Please note that special staff pricing for friends and/or off-campus family members does not apply during an event. Please register your friends and family online or call ext. 2101.

Battalion Update | SMaj. Hawley
As this last week drew to a close it has been great having all the Battalion trickle back in. The MRT and CST men returned from their deployment and the men in the Diving program safely returned from their time of training in Florida.
For any of you who may have been watching us run by and wondered what Battalion was up to on Saturday, we were happily tromping around campus in the midst of the Buddy Competition. This is an event that puts a few of the skills learned during Basic Training and ERT into practice as the two-man teams try to rack up points in each event to see what team, at the end of the day, will come out as the victors. Throughout the day, the scores stayed very close with several teams trading off the lead and keeping the competitiveness in the competition, but in the end one team managed to pull ahead and win the competition: Tanner Frederick and Sebastian Miggiani.
As we look at these last two weeks of the semester, there is as always, a lot to do and accomplish between now and then—so please remember us and pray as we have classes, tests to finish, and deployments to go on. Also, remember to pray for the men in Tech as they will spend several days next week in Arkansas to finish up their high angle training in a unique, exciting, and the very real environment of the mountains.
As we consider the end of semester and how we'll all move in various directions, the Battalion has talked what will be remembered of us. It is not so much what we did or what rank we held, but in who we were as men: “One of the outstanding ironies of history is the utter disregard of ranks and titles in the final judgment men pass on each other, the final estimate of men shows that history cares not an iota for the rank or title a man has born, or the office he has held, but only the quality of his deeds and the character of his mind and heart.” Samuel Brengle

Basic Training Update | Capt. Boulden
Five days and counting! This last week of Basic Training the men will be mostly preparing for the Promotion Ceremony on Friday. They will have their Unit pictures taken on Tuesday and participate in the Officers Reception on Thursday.
Thank you all for your prayers and support over the last few months. They have been very much appreciated. Please continue to pray for the men that they would finish well. Pray that their families have safe travels, and that the men would not forget or put aside what God has done in their lives over the course of Basic Training. |
