Student Testimonials

“Every day at ALERT, I learn to depend on Christ more. I’ve learned there is always room to grow, that I don’t have all the answers, and most importantly, that it is my walk with Him that really matters.”

Kenjie S.  |  Unit 66

“Before I came to the ALERT program, my life was without direction and purpose. I would spend my time working dead-end jobs and playing video games, and occasionally participating in outdoor activities if invited. After going through Basic training, I saw a glimpse of what I could be if I wanted to change. Over my time at ALERT, I have seen God’s grace to me as my faith and reliance on Him grew. I can say for certain that ALERT has changed my life for the better in terms of leadership, discipline, physical strength, and so much more. I will forever be grateful to this program and the men in it.”

Joshua L.  |  Unit 64

“The unique tensions and challenges that I faced here forced me to rely on God and get out of my comfort zone. It taught me to behave with conviction, think with clarity, and speak with authority. ALERT gave me a valuable perspective about life, God, and people that I never had before.”

Len N.  |  Unit 61

"To become like Christ is the only thing in the world worth caring for, the thing before which every ambition of man is folly and all lower achievement vain." — Henry Drummond

When this basic's all over
I will be a responder
Standing tall upon that day
One red stripe on my chambray
Cultivating prepared awareness for missionary service:

In the ALERT Missions course, students will work from a Biblical foundation to understand both the Great Commission and the complexities of fulfilling this calling. This first step toward equipping individuals to be “field ready” for missionary service will challenge the student with the enormity of the task and the need for specific training to carry it out effectively. An international trip will reinforce the course material through practical application in the field. 

The early registration period for the next missions class ends Monday, December 2nd. For more information on ALERT's Missions class, visit our website at the link in our bio.
