Leadership Corner
In our leadership journey, it's often easy to look behind us and idolize "the glory days" both in our work and our relationship with Christ. 

"Many Christians are able to view the past with pleasure but regard the present with dissatisfaction. Once they lived near Jesus, but now they feel that they have wandered from Him... Christian, if you are not now as you 'were . . . in the months of old,' do not be content to simply wish for a return of your former happiness, but go at once to seek your Master and tell Him your sad state. Ask His grace and strength to enable you to walk more closely with Him; humble yourself before Him, and He will lift you up and allow you once more to enjoy the light of His countenance." - Charles Spurgeon
Battalion Update | Capt. Vanderford
The next few weeks will be busy for the battalion. I arrived last night with Tech Rescue and CST at the Northwoods for a service project . This Saturday, August 21, Leadership and Communications will leave for their field trip to Washington D.C. 2nd Phase will head to Detroit for flood relief on Sunday, August 22 in response to last month's natural disaster, and after that, will go to Chicago for 4 days of chainsaw training/service.

The Caleb Nelson Memorial Race is scheduled for Saturday, September 5. This is a 12 mile, multi-sport endurance race named in honor of an ALERT graduate and Navy SEAL who died in action in 2011.

Thank you for your prayers. Training seems to be going well and, overall, the battalion is growing and headed in a good direction.
