Quest exists to help young men as they strive for responsible, Biblical manliness. We seek to cast a vision for manhood and answer the questions guys have about the transition from child to man. Through one-on-one discipleship and group classes, we help young men overcome the struggles holding them back from maturity and teach the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in life. Our goal is to be a useful tool for parents seeking to encourage their sons to strive after manly maturity.
God has blessed us with a wonderful training facility here at the International ALERT Academy, giving us a broader vision for reaching the hearts of families. Our mission is three-fold:
1. Challenging young men to God-glorifying manliness.
2. Assisting parents by presenting practical life skills from a Biblical worldview.
3. Encouraging young men to develop healthy relationships with Godly role models.
Combining hands-on skill training with live classroom workshops, Quest seeks to instill the sense of responsibility and focus necessary to be a man. An emphasis on spiritual disciplines and a dedicated leadership team creates an environment conducive to spiritual growth. Scripture memorization, journaling, regular times of Bible study, and prayer are required.
That is just a quick update on where Quest is this year. We’re currently accepting and processing applications for the 2012 program. The dates for Quest 2012 are Monday, July 9, through Friday, August 3, 2012, and the program cost is $1,395.00, which covers tuition, room, and board. You can download the application and packing list from the registration page of our website.

Raising Entrepreneurs!
Over the past twenty years of homeschooling we have watched the erosion of the family, and the affects of the school system on our young people. But this isn’t new – the Industrial Revolution has robbed our culture of the entrepreneurial mindset our country once embraced. The need for cooperative unskilled laborers during the Industrial Revolution led to the development of educational methods that were designed to produce an abundance of replaceable worker bees. Our country’s leaders did this by eliminating the possibility of creative thinking in the public school and instituting a testing and grading system that placed a large percentage of students in the “average” category; crushing self esteem, destroying leadership and courage, and rendering them passive and compliant.
This resulted in a mass production of workers who considered themselves followers, not entrepreneurial material. If they obtained a college education, it was to get a “good job” rather than to be a leader and initiator. There is a great need to take back and rebuild the entrepreneurial mindset on which our country once thrived. Fathers are experiencing a lack of job satisfaction. Young people are following the traditional path of education without a solid vision for their future. Families are struggling with their children’s transition from homeschool to career. As parents, we believe there is a growing need to change the course we are on, laying a foundation for our children’s future success, beginning while they are young.
To address these issues we have developed a FREE two-day conference called “Raising Entrepreneurs.” It will equip those who attend with an understanding of how to build an entrepreneurial mindset by covering topics such as: the parents’ role in building this mindset (beginning from a very young age,) assisting young people in developing a meaningful purpose and vision for their lives, and how to start and operate a successful business as an individual or family.
Entrepreneurs have a passion, a vision, and are driven to create. They are willing to take a risk to create something new, solve problems, challenge the status quo, and they think outside the box. They are self starting, determined, hard working, innovative…they have a purpose they are working toward and a vision to do something great. They are not satisfied going to work as a cog in a large organization filled with bureaucracy. These are the people who create something out of nothing…they see an opportunity and turn it into something great. They inspire others to do the same.
Our Mission:
God has given each of us unique gifts to create, innovate, and problem solve. Gifts that will be left behind if we don’t recapture a vision to use them – to challenge the status quo of our nation. The transition from homeschool to career is a difficult one. There are many roads to take. In these two days we hope to show you how to recapture this kind of thinking as follows:

As a young attorney, David C. Gibbs, Jr. could hardly believe his ears as the pastor relayed how his church was being sued by the state for operating its ministry. As he reviewed the legal documents, Dr. Gibbs was astonished that such a thing could happen in modern America.
From that very first case through the present day, God has blessed Dr. Gibbs commitment to legally help churches, pastors, and Christians free of charge. The ministry has grown substantially through God’s blessing over the last 40 years as attorneys, legal assistants, and other ministry workers have joined our team of ”legal missionaries.”
With an earnest passion and excitement Dr. Gibbs delivers powerful messages from the word of God that will challenge old and young alike to take there relationship with God to another level, to really pursue after Gods best for their lives.
We are seeking young men and women, 16 years or older, to serve as Children Institute teachers in Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore. This is an opportunity for you to be part of a team whose goal is to be used by the Lord Jesus to reach children with the Gospel. In the process, you will also be able to gain excellent teaching experience as well. You will find that each seminar will bring new circumstances and challenges with the children that you will only be able to meet by the power of the Holy Spirit.
If you are selected and able to go on this trip you will return from it knowing that the Lord has used you in the lives of others in a very special way. You will also return with new friends to keep in touch with, for there is a “bonding” that takes place between teachers as they work together, encourage each other, support one another, and enjoy each other’s company.
SCHEDULE
CI teachers will depart Singapore (Changi Airport) on July 4, 2012 to their respective country.

The Air Land Emergency Resource Team (ALERT) is a unique training and service organization for young men who desire to achieve maturity and fruitfulness in service as Christian men. The training young men receive at ALERT equips them with the discipline, character, and skills necessary to meet the needs of people in crisis. These ALERT Responders will then be deployed to disaster-stricken areas such as those affected by hurricanes, tornados, floods, and mud slides.
The sessions and activities of the COMMIT Conferences are planned with this goal in mind: to motivate young ladies to choose to seek God first, become fully committed to Him, come to love Him with all their hearts, and humbly serve others in their irreplaceable youth before facing the pressures of adulthood.
The COMMIT conference provides an opportunity for mothers and daughters to deepen their relationship with the Lord and with one another.
The conference sessions are taught by Godly, dedicated young women and are particularly focused on addressing the challenges girls face in their teens and beyond. The teaching is presented with Bible references, personal illustrations, insightful observations, and life applications. There are skits and presentations to reinforce the material and keep everyone’s interest.
Daughters will be encouraged to make Christ the first priority in their hearts and make wise decisions throughout their lives. Along with attending sessions with their daughters, mothers will benefit from mothers’ sessions of practical encouragement and insight.
Dates: March 22-24, 2012
