What about the braid and ribbons?  Cadet Smith is wearing a braid because he said all the verses in the Novice handbook in one sitting.  He has ribbons for saying all the verses, for complicating a handbook in six weeks, and for completing phase one.  Congratulations Cadet Smith! Verses- Psalms 139, Proverbs 3:1-35, Ps 92:1-15

The young men who attend the ACCs this summer have been learning “We rest in thee”.   The legacy of Jim Elliot and Nate Saint lives on as a new generation learns the song that inspired them as they went into the bush.
