Rescue Training
Rescue Training is a 2-hour event that partners urban and suburban students on teams of six. Three suburban students team up with three urban students to face a series of mental, physical, and enthusiasm challenges, and answer Biblical discussion questions.
Supervised challenges include inflatable obstacle courses, gladiator games, and leadership training activities. Interspersed in the schedule of this tightly-choreographed event are skits, group cheers, and songs by live musicians and C.R.O.S.S.FIRE Performance Arts students. The skits and cheers help create an atmosphere of “training to be on a rescue team.”

Have A Standard’s real purpose behind this event is to initiate new Student-Mentor relationships, and strengthen already-existing Student-Mentor relationships. (These relationships are one of the primary ways we teach Biblical standards to students.) At the event each student is asked to write answers to and discuss with his teammates six Biblical discussion questions. Mentors moderate the discussions.
Afterwards each student’s answers to the Biblical discussion questions are entered into Have A Standard’s Student-Mentor "On-going Discussion" System. Mentors continue the Biblical discussions, and build relationships that reinforce the teaching of the Biblical standards.
