“Equipping Men to Serve Nations”
Before the return of Christ to earth, Scripture tells us that there will be perilous times (II Timothy 3). We are in those times, and we are ready to meet urgent needs and to give answers to the problems that perplex others. ALERT is designed to equip and empower young men to dynamically serve God in stressful circumstances. It is our desire that God raise up ALERT Responders to answer the call for service, no matter how difficult or dangerous that call may be. We do not know what God ultimately has in mind, but we do need to be prepared (Ephesians 6:10) and ready to serve wherever we are asked.
We are preparing men with the desire, skills, and opportunities to meet the needs of people in crisis and to share their faith and the love of Christ in dark places. As he seeks to see his life count for the kingdom of God, the ALERT Responder needs to be totally committed to dying to self, taking up his cross, and following Christ alone on a daily basis. Competitors for our affection and attentions must be abandoned. Entanglements and besetting sins must be set aside. We must be ready at all times to respond to crises in a timely manner, with a grateful spirit, and with the discipline to effectively accomplish the Lord’s task whenever He gives the call. This commitment to Godly living extends to training, deployment, and home.
The leaders who emerge in the next generation will be those with proven character, resolute courage and vision, and unwavering convictions. ALERT desires to help men, through the power of God, to achieve these attributes and to hold a standard against the tide of evil. A few committed believers turned the world upside down in the first century. There is a need for that same dynamic in the challenges of today. The ALERT Responder becomes part of a team of committed men who are dedicated to the Lord and to the ALERT vision. The ALERT Responder, by choice and by the Lord’s grace, will continue the discipline of a Godly life wherever the Lord may call him to serve.
An ALERT Responder seeks success by claiming four promises:
1) Joshua 1:8: “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”
2) I Peter 5:6: “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.”
3) Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Christ which strengthened me.”
4) John 15:7: “If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”
