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.”

Camaraderie sharpens a man

In order to effectively influence their world for Christ, young men need real connection with Godly friends and mentors. Living in genuine community is vital for sustained growth and maturity. Our training is designed to help the men build close friendships and camaraderie as they face new experiences, pressures, and successes together. We incorporate elements such as structured peer-to-peer feedback, personal investment from leadership, and small unit sizes to sharpen the men and model the value of authentic relationships. We desire that the men would build upon these friendships after returning home and intentionally seek out meaningful connections and discipleship within their communities and churches.
