Ladies Journey to the Heart
Any of the campus young ladies are invited to join the Young Ladies Journey to the Heart May 30 – June 6, at no cost. Please prayerfully consider joining other ladies on this Journey as they seek to grow closer to the Lord and say “yes” to the Lord in each area of their lives. Details online here.

Use the coupon code: STAFFFAM2026 to register for Journey at no charge. (Please register by May 16 for planning purposes.) This is a taxable benefit to employees and
will be listed on your year-end tax form if you're able to take advantage of this discipleship opportunity. We hope you can join for this special and potentially life-changing week of seeking the Lord!
Pray with our Nation
President Trump has declared Sunday, May 17, a Day of Prayer and Rededication of Our Nation. Please join us as we unite with others in seeking the Lord.
Transportation Update
Steve Kientz will be out of the office until May 18. Please contact Randy Switzer if you have any transportation or auto shop needs. 
Battalion Update | Capt. Winkler
Missions finished their building project and have joined the African pastors in their coursework this week. Construction will be heading to Florida later this week on deployment, and the EMTs start clinicals. Aviation continues working through ground school and logging flight hours. Please be in prayer for all the students to push through these last few weeks of the semester and not lose sight of the discipleship as their classes wrap up.
Basic Training Update | Maj. Hawley
This week, the men will face one of the most challenging aspects of Basic Training: the 24-Hour Endurance Hike. The Unit will be leaving for Ouachita National Forest, Lord willing, Monday afternoon. We will camp this evening and then start the hike around 6:30 on Tuesday AM and finish around 6:30 Wednesday AM. After the hike is over, we will travel back to campus and the men will be given the remainder of the day to sleep and recover. The rest of the week, the men will spend recovering from the hike, as well as continuing to refine their Drill & Ceremony skills in preparation for Advancement Day and practice for their Skills Test.
