As many of you know, today is Giving Tuesday, the day set aside to give to nonprofits around the world. Especially today, we wanted to take some time to give thanks for everyone who has supported us throughout this year, whether that is by being one of the men in training, our ALERT families, donors, or prayer warriors. We love the opportunity we have been given to be a part of forging extraordinary men who influence their world for Christ, and we know that we would not be able to function as an organization without support from so many of you who are passionate about this same work. Please continue to keep us in our prayers, and thank you again for your support throughout this year.

Stand strong,
Captain Phillip Vanderford
ALERT Battalion Commanding Officer
