Missions Sermons

Noon Praise Meeting | Dr. Levendusky
Our noon prayer time on Thursday, June 1 will follow the pattern of what Jesus instructed us to do, to rejoice and be exceeding glad. We will sing songs of praise to the Lord and include some brief testimonies as well. The focus would be on praising God, rejoicing in Him, encouraging and edifying one another, just like the early church did in times of persecution.

"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." - Matthew 5:11-12

Mayflower Group
The Mayflower Group (MFG) has been here now for more than a month and they have received a great welcome from our staff and families, as well as friends from the Tyler area. Freedom Seekers International (FSI) is their sponsor here and they have helped them with dentist needs, gardening initiatives, and even setting up bank accounts. The 15 families are living in four hallways in the Chestnut Dormitory, and they take their lunch and dinner meals at the Chapel. The children are being home educated by their parents and are beginning to start with their English classes. They are grateful for the outpouring of love and support they have received from FSI, area families/churches, and our staff and families.

Battalion Update | Capt. Vanderford
Including some time off for Memorial Day yesterday, there is much to fit in this week as we prepare for graduation and have some fun together before the guys go home. As we look back over this quarter, I’d like to express my gratitude for the countless ways so many of you have supported the battalion. I know the reason many of you do the work you do is that you want to be a part of the mission of forging extraordinary men who influence their world for Christ, and we really appreciate your investment.

Please pray that as the men go home, they will intentionally pursue Christ and build relationships to help them in that endeavor. Please also pray for God to guide the men as many of them seek Him for their next steps.

Basic Training Update | Maj. Boulden
Unit 68 has been secured! Thank you to everyone who came out last Friday to support the Unit in their accomplishment of finishing Basic Training. This week, the Cadre will be cleaning up and debriefing from Basic. Please let Lt. O'Neal know if anything is out of place around campus that needs our attention. Thanks again for all the prayers and support.
