Samuel heads out to ALERT Basic Training

Samuel leaves tomorrow very early in the morning. His destination? The International ALERT Academy located in Big Sandy, Texas. He is so excited! He will be going through the Basic Training program and then hopefully the Emergency Response Training. Those two programs will take a combined total of 19 weeks. During the training, ALERT tries to isolate the trainee from outside sources of support, in order that he learns to turn to God for his strength. Practically, that means that Samuel will not have his cell phone or internet access for the next few months. Keep him in your prayers, and look forward with us to his return!
