We would like to invite all of you parents who will be coming for the shield ceremony, who will still be around on Sunday, Jan. 16th, to get together for lunch at our church, Pleasant Valley Baptist in Liberty, MO. after the 11am worship service. Lunch will start somewhere between 12:30 & 1:00pm. downstairs in the Connection Cafe. We are asking that all of those who are "local" would bring a crockpot of soup, salad or dessert. All of those coming from "out of town:" if you would like to help provide something, you could possibly pick something up at the store like some bread/rolls or crackers or even dessert. If this is not possible & you would like to give a donation to help pay for expenses, that would be great too. Please do not feel obligated to do so though. We have asked Shawn to possibly come & join us as well. Everyone is free to stay around & fellowship & get to know each other better, as it is a very comfortable setting & you may leave whenever you need to. We have the room reserved from 12:30 - 4:00 or 4:30pm. If you will be available to join us, please send me an email to RSVP & also let me know if & what you will be willing to bring @ wkhunter@integrity.com Thanks everyone & we are excited to meet you all on Jan. 15th!

hey im not a parent but still you all seem knowledgeable about fusion. Where would be a good place to get a backpack that is cheap, but durable enough for the program?

7/17/2011 11:28 PM

Scott said...
I would recommend Dick Sporting Goods. Any of the Kelty Brands would be good enough. I would go 5000 Cubic Inches or larger for the pack volume. Another place would be ALPS Mountaineering. They give Fusion students a good discount. http://www.alpsmountaineering.com/

We just got my daughter's backpack at Bass Pro Shops and they are offering $4 shipping until Aug. 7th I think. Does anyone know if the sleeping bags need to close at the head area (mummy style)?

Donna said...
Just wondering if the students are required to be in dress clothes for tomorrow's orientation. Sunday dresses for girls? Is this just for the first part of the day?

Wanted to tell Sarah's mom -Tammy how nice it was to meet you and look forward, to hearing from you on this blog.

Jake said...
Do the plebes receive mail during ground school, or is it held til the 20th? No point in baking cookies yet if they'll sit for a week and a half... It was great meeting y'all at Orientation. Great bunch of candidates, interesting families, the Fusion Cadre is awesome - I look forward to seeing this class take flight!

My wife, Christie, and I enjoyed meeting everyone last Saturday. We were impressed with the level of commitment, friendliness, maturity and professionalism displayed by the directors and advocates.

8/10/2011 11:42 AM

Elizabeth said...
@Jake, that is my question too. i'm sending my letters and a pkg with stamps and our church directory. I want her to get started on her support letters asap.

8/10/2011 3:23 PM

Dave said...
The candidates don't receive mail during ground school, but once it gets done, its fine to send them all that stuff

8/10/2011 4:39 PM

Dara said...
Will there be updates on the recruits on this or any other forum?

8/10/2011 5:22 PM

Glenn Faris said...
I was truly blessed Saturday by what I seen and heard. I believe if we would rethink how we train our young people (and old) we would truly transform our world.

Shelly bell said...
Can you let the parents know how ground schooling is going? Also, I want to mail my daughter a card and have it be there waiting when ground school is over. Do I address it to her apartment we moved her into? I know that may not be where she will end up.

8/12/2011 5:03 PM

Anna said...
I read on Fusion's facebook page that they could get mail during ground school.

8/12/2011 7:51 PM

Shelly bell said...
What is the Facebook name? I searched fusion and go fusion and didn't see anything that looked like our logo. Thanks

8/14/2011 6:07 PM

Shelly bell said...
Never mind, I just found it.

Tammy & Charles Beeghley said...
Hey parents- we've started a facebook page entitled "Fusion Parents Network" that you can go on to see some photo's and find out tidbits that we get since we live near campus. We know not everyone is on facebook but for those that are, it's a way of networking too. Liz- it was great meeting you too...hopefully we can catch up some!

8/14/2011 7:06 PM

Pat said...
I tried to look up "Fusion Parents Network" on facebook but nothing came up.

8/15/2011 5:34 PM

Elizabeth said...
@Tammy- Thanks goodness you started the parent page. I'm headed there. It has been a tough week on me. Just connecting with other parents will be awesome. Have ya'll moved in yet ??? And yes we need to catch up. :)

8/15/2011 6:51 PM

Tammy & Charles Beeghley said...
Sorry, the group was set to secret. We have fixed the problem and it now can be found on FB. Fusion Parent Network - New pics soon.

8/15/2011 9:48 PM

Tammy Parkhurst said...
The kids can receive mail during ground school. My daughter was in Fusion last year and I have a son in Fusion this year. I have tried looking for your "Fusion Parent Network" and have not been able to find it. I'm sure ground school is going well :) Our motto last year was "No news is GOOD News"!

8/15/2011 10:05 PM

Mary Coffey said...
Hey new parents! I can guarantee that your kids are doing ok this year. My daughter got extremely sick last year from dehydration and heat exhaustion (heat index in KC last year was around 110 most days through ground school). I heard from both Scott and my daughter about taking her to the hospital. The candidates are in great hands and are being taken care of! Like Tammy said, last year and even this year for those of us whose kids have gone on to be cadre/interns this year "No new is GOOD News"!! We lived off of that for 9 months and our kids survived as did we! We all came out stronger and closer to the Lord during the Fusion process! And your kids are doing great during ground school! I have an inside source :)

Just address any mail to MBTS Fusion (Your child's name) 5001 N. Oak Trafficway Kansas City, Mo 64118

I tried to find the Fusion Parent Network on fb and can't find it.

8/17/2011 9:03 AM

Shelly Bell said...
I am unable to find parents page on FB as well.

You have to type in the capital letters in the groups name in order for it to come up.

Are parents allowed to come to the ceremony at the end of Ground School tomorrow night?

8/18/2011 4:42 PM

Brenda said...
How do you log onto the Fusion Facebook page?

8/18/2011 4:44 PM

Tammy said...
The Fusion facebook page is: Fusion at Midwestern. There are a couple older pages that aren't being used anymore or were for last years students. Brenda- as far as a ceremony tomorrow night, I believe it's only for the students & cadres.

8/18/2011 11:00 PM

Glenn Faris said...
I am sure we are all excited to hear from our children. It will be great to hear the excitement in their voice as they complete ground school.

8/19/2011 4:25 AM

Brenda said...
Thank you so much for the info, Tammy

8/19/2011 11:13 AM

Charles Beeghley said...
New update for parents at Fusion parent Network of FB. The group is closed for security. Please friend me and I will add you to the group. Keep praying for these young people who have committed their lives to serve our Lord, Jesus Christ.

8/19/2011 1:12 PM

liz said...
I've been in prayer all day and will continue. Thanks to all the parents blogging on here, glad to know we are in agreement for these kids.

8/19/2011 3:02 PM

Tammy said...
Groundschool is officially over! The students are wet, dirty & in need of showers, so if you haven't heard from them yet, you should soon! Be patient as some students are moving into their new dorms too. To God be the Glory!

debbie said...
i still am unable to find charles beeghley to friend on fb and I would love to see the pictures

8/19/2011 8:22 PM

Doug Martin said...
We are not on facebook and cannot be for security reasons. Is there any other place to see the pictures and get updates?

8/20/2011 5:17 AM

Mary Coffey said...
Doug - eventually pictures of ground school will be put on on this link. It just takes a while for them to accumulate pictures and get them up.

8/20/2011 8:55 AM

Shelly bell said...
Tried you Charles on FB and no one with that name came up. I was so surprised to hear from my daughter early yesterday evening!!!! Sounds like all went well and that the student are well on their way to being Christ's ambassadors!

8/20/2011 12:14 PM

beverly said...
I'm confused. Is there any fb page available to parents or no? I'm seeing both answers. Charles - if there is a page, how do we contact you to be added?

8/20/2011 6:16 PM

Tammy & Charles Beeghley said...
I don't understand why you can't find it Charles or I. We started a fb page for parents that is secure, so you need to become a friend of ours on FB before you can join the group. Charles Beeghley or Tammy Beeghley. We are keeping it closed for security reasons. We ask that you do not list the country your child is going to, only what region. South Central Asia, etc. If there is anyone NOT on facebook, please email Charles at pastor4him@gmail.com or me at tamb4him@gmail.com and we will send the photo's to you by e-mail.

8/20/2011 8:14 PM

Tammy & Charles Beeghley said...
When you ask to become friends, please let us know who your studen is & how you are related to the students to we make sure we keep it secure.

Hi, I forgot there was a parent blog. My son was home for the weekend. Everything he brought home was dirty including him! Sounds like they had a great two weeks. I will try and go out to facebook and hopefully won't have any problems finding the info. I don't know whose on my sons team, he never uses names.
