Shortly after lunch today I left campus with Unit 71 to head up to Oklahoma and hike their Endurance Hike. The Endurance Hike is one of the most physically challenging events and a key milestone in Basic Training. Starting Wednesday morning and continuing for the next 24 hours, Lord willing the unit and I will hike approximately 57 miles through the Ouachita Mountains. Please pray for each man as we hike, for the recruits, cadre, and alumni. Pray that God would show Himself to each one of us in a real and deeper way through the challenge of the hike, pray for safety driving to and from Oklahoma, and pray for protection from injury while we hike.
