Subject: ALERT Update | January 18, 2022


January 18, 2022

As you all know, ALERT exists to forge extraordinary men who influence their world for Christ. We love to train, disciple and build relationships with our students. For some men, scholarship funds are what open the door for them to receive training here. In 2021, we were able to help 19 different students attend various phases of ALERT through the scholarship fund. In all, the scholarship committee awarded just over $27,000 to those students. We would love to be able to double that in 2022, but we have given away nearly all of the money in the scholarship fund.

If you are interested in helping us accomplish our mission, donating to the scholarship fund is a great way to do that. When you give to that fund, 100% of your money goes toward helping students pay for ALERT training. The more scholarship money we receive, the more men we are able to train, disciple, and invest in. If you would like to donate toward scholarships, you can mail a check designated to the scholarship fund, or you can donate online, again designated to ALERT Student Scholarships.

Thank you for your support, and more importantly, thank you for your continued prayers for us and the men in training.
Captain Phillip Vanderford, Unit 41
ALERT Battalion Commanding Officer
