June 7, 2022


As we look back on the past five months of training, we are grateful for all the work God did and for His many blessings to us. Below is a list of the training options our students were able to participate in this past semester:

  • Basic Training – 26

  • 2nd Phase – 24

  • Aviation – 3

  • Campus Support – 1

  • EMT – 11

  • Missions – 3

  • Leadership & Communications – 6

Men were also able to serve on the following deployments:

  • Memphis area – Ice storms relief

  • Dallas area – Supported Texas Home School Coalition Dallas area convention, logistical support for Ducks Unlimited Expo

  • East Texas – Tornado and wildfire relief, two homicide case evidence searches, small local service projects, and a colorguard presentation for a local middle school

  • Poland – Assisted with preparing aid supplies and other projects in support of refugee work

The greatest joy in working with the men is seeing them grow spiritually and getting the chance to walk alongside them as they mature in Christ. Your prayers and support allow us to continue forging men semester after semester, and we are thankful for each one of you.
