Mission Statement:
Our mission is to bring the hope of Christ to dark, dangerous, and despised places of the world by raising up Unusual Soldiers .Vision Statement:
Our wild dream is to launch disciple-making initiatives all across the globe in areas that are feared or ignored by others. We strive to impact these risky places by training up students how to live the life of an Unusual Soldier. In order to accomplish this we have created ministry events that strive to awaken, train, and mobilize them to the field.Our Strategy:
Awakening
We strive to awaken people to our unique calling by:SPEAKING EVENTS
Caleb speaks for Kingdom Building Ministries in a number of different venues each year. (www.kbm.org)
MEDIA
Students can get awakened to the ministry of Unusual Soldiers through articles, radio interviews, online videos, or our blog at www.crazyblood.com
MERCHANDISE
Students can get acquainted with Unusual Soldiers through our online store (coming soon).
Mobilizing
We strive to mobilize trained students by:SLINGSHOT : Strategic Training
This is a 3-5 day strategizing program for a select few students that have been through Stranded, Submerge, and have a vision to pursue. This training event takes place at the Unusual Soldiers base in Nebraska.
UNUSUAL SOLDIERS CONFERENCE: International Strategic Training
This one week of intense training that is usually taught to no more than thirty radical-spirited nationals at a time. It's all of the Unusual Soldiers training packed into one intense classroom format.
SCOUTING TRIPS
Unusual Soldiers thrives on pioneering new ground. Our scouting trips are the key to launching more initiatives in more places.
"THE EXODUS"
This is not a training event but rather a moment at some our training events. Momentarily at the close of a Slingshot training event individuals will be immediately sent out to launch their initiatives in a dark, dangerous, or despised place.
Training
We train a few awakened students each year by:STRANDED: Basic Training
A one week basic training wilderness program for young adults in the United States. This program preps them for the spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional demands of being an Unusual Soldier. A one week program that unpacks who an Unusual Soldier is and what he/she does.
SUBMERGE: Advanced Training
A ten day journey that takes a handful of students overseas to be trained and gives them an opportunity to minister in a dark, dangerous, or despised place.
TRAINING MANUALS
Unusual Soldiers Training Manuals are available for participants at most of the Unusual Soldiers training events.
