After many months of preparation we dropped off Zachariah for the next exciting phase of his life.
'R' Night is the kick off of basic training for the ALERT recruits. After 9 weeks of rigorous spiritual and physical training they will come out as changed men ready and "Strong to Serve"!
This is all for the glory of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. He said it best in regards to what our attitude in life ought to be and that is one of a servant. God Himself came down and served us up to and even beyond His death. I am grateful that Zachariah and about 50 or so other young men in Unit 53 have chosen to follow after Jesus' lead.
But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister:
And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all.
For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Mark 10:43-45
