To bring and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, with all those in law enforcement. We realize there is a strong common bond shared by those in law enforcement, a camaraderie which cannot be found outside this distinctive occupation. Law enforcement is a unique area of society to minister. Due to the great demands of shift work and the fact that most of us in law-enforcement work a 2nd. job to make ends meet, the job itself acts as an inhibitor for these men and women to attend church. However without any spiritual protection, or a personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ many of these men and women are thrust into the darkness of this world against all forms of evil and spiritual wickedness.
Ephesians 6:12 - For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
We feel our hearts break as we see officers one after another succumb to the temptations inherent in the profession itself. Hundreds of officers throughout the land are dependent on alcohol, many are losing their families, due to infidelity, or domestic violence and some are facing prison for straying across the line of integrity that sometimes becomes so blurred.
In the law enforcement profession we deal with forms of sin that most people will never see, or come in contact with. We have to be careful not to harden our hearts to the point that we stop caring for others, especially those who are closest to us, our family, friends, and loved ones. God has given those of us in law enforcement a tremendous responsibility but God also makes available to us a way that allows us to perform our duties without falling victim to the evil that we encounter.
Ephesians 6:13 - Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground.
True officer survival is having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ., studying God's word and daily praying, and fellow-shipping with other believers.
