Hey Everybody !!! if your interested in joining us today , we will be meeting behind the BP gas station by the Leitchfield fire station @ 4

Hey guys I'm John Evans! In 2019 my family's lives changed forever. MTD in Leitchfield decided to close its doors and I was going to be out of a job. A buddy of mine I go to church with was on the Louisville Fire Department and he said that I should apply. I had played with the idea of going into emergency services before but with a job paying the bills for eight years it was hard to just give that up for a chance to get hired on. MTD going out of business really gave me the push i needed to take that next step. I had some help from a couple of firemen, they gave me some advice and direction but I trained pretty much on my own with the exception of my family's support of course!!!
I've been on the Louisville fire department for 4 years now. I was successful in my efforts and through a lot of hardwork and a lot of prayer, I accomplished my goal.
Last September I got to know Robert McKinzie and started training with him at Chainbreakers Gym, a non profit gym that strives to break the chains of poverty and addiction through faith based fitness coaching. He didn't ask for a monthly fee, just had to be an active member of my local church. After a month or so of being involved with the gym he asked me if I would help him start a program to help prepare young men and women to for the physical agility tests that come with getting hired on a fire, EMS or police department. Thus PRO.24:11 was born! Proverbs 24:11 says,
"Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter"
Whether it's Fire, EMS or Police, you will be there to serve your community and be there for them on their worst day. Because of this we need to be at our best.
I want to be clear, I’m no expert. I'm not the best but I have a passion and love for the job. I have gone through the process and if you're willing to listen to me, train hard and give everything you have, we will work together to help you prepare for a position in the most rewarding and awesome careers out there!!!!
If your a young man or woman that wants to pursue a career in Fire ,EMS or Law Enforcement please contact the gyms page with your information and we will get back to you ASAP !!! We can't wait to get started!!!
