Advance Team in Ukraine
The advance team returned to Ukraine on Jan. 18 and the plan is for them to stay for a few months and return on April 23rd.
Since returning to Ukraine, the Team has continued to help deliver medical supplies and food to high risk areas on the front lines of the war in Eastern Ukraine.
This is the last deployment for the Advance Team, and they will be transitioning to whatever is next after they return. The Advance Team has helped in signifcant ways to develop trainings, and deployment procedures for the up-and-coming Class 1 and 2 Teams.

Pray for them as they live and work in dangerous areas and as they process what comes next upon their eventual return home!
Class 1 Update:
Class 1 completed their 2.3 Defender Training on March 2nd and are now heading to Ukraine for a month+ deployment as first responders where they will meet up with the Advance Team.
Following this deployment, they will still need their specialization training, but what once seemed like a far off goal of having a fully-trained team, now feels like it is just around the corner!
Class 2 Update:
Class 2 has completed the busiest part of their at-home study during 1.4 Core Training. In January and February they completed a joint Wilderness First Responder/Avalanche Safety/Winter Camping training in Colorado.
In early March, the Team took in a week of cross-cultural missions trainingtaught by Ethnos 360 in Pennsylvania.
Following this, the Team completed 3 days of Land Navigation training south of Pittsburg and ended the week at Camp Andrews where they ran through a practice Physical Fitness Test (PFT).
