The Herald of Christ
Many organizations that emphasize an achievement process have a top honor to recognize those who have dedicated themselves to the organization and it’s program. Our top honor is called the “Herald of Christ.” The “HOC” is both an internship process and the award given to the young man who after completing all of the requirements looks to be, in the eyes of his HOC committee, a genuine herald of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Herald of Christ is the pinnacle of years of discipleship in which a young man is prepared to lead courageously as a servant leader and speak with confidence about his faith and God’s Word with the understanding that it is his legacy to influence all generations.
A young man cannot begin the steps to receive this honor until he is 16 and must complete it before his 21st birthday. We require the minimum age of 16 because we believe that by that time a young man will have been buffeted by the winds of temptation and the world enough to begin to reveal his level of commitment, not to Christian Service Brigade, but to Christ and His kingdom.
Below, in brief, are the requirements for and the expected outcomes from completing the Herald of Christ internship:
Laying the Foundation:

It's a recognition not a reward
Our faith is built on grace not merit. This is reflected in our process. We truly want the Herald of Christ process to help the young man to become a man who is a bold and sincere herald for king Jesus.
When he is done he is recognized as a Herald of Christ, not rewarded for work done.
