Our Lord is looking for strong men who are tested, proven disciples ready to defend life and to live life to the fullest.

CHALLENGE: Basic is a six-day, boot camp style event. The recruits are placed into squads of 4-8 members and must work together to be successful. The core skill-building events of the CHALLENGE program are rappelling, land navigation, firearms safety, self-protection, basic medical, and wilderness survival. At the end of the week, the recruits will execute a 24-hour land navigation course in which they will utilize all of the training they received earlier in the week.

The theme for this year is "Sacrifice." Through study and daily devotionals we will be considering what God calls us to give up or give over to His perfect will.

Basic is for young men notionally 13-18 years old, as well as their fathers when possible.
