What is the number one cause

of death of law enforcement

officers?

Every 22 hours a law enforcement officer takes his

own life.

The following are excerpts from the documentary

“Code 9Officer Needs Assistance.”

Deborah Ortizwife of a retired NYS trooper.

I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. Psalm 142:4

Will you send someone to care for

their soul?

Statistically every 52 hours a law enforcement

officer is killed in the line of duty.

From Jan.1, 2012 through

Nov. 26, 2012 These brave man and

women died in the line of duty.

“For he is the minister of God to

thee for good.”

“But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil,” Rom. 13:4

“For this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing,”

Romans 13:6.

Upwards of 70% of seasoned officers have been married at least twice.The average tenure of a law officer is 6

years before he either quits the

profession is killed in the line of duty or takes his own life.

They need peace in their hearts and minds, which will only come when they call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid,” John 14:27.

and how shall they believe in him of whom they have

not heard?

“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?

and how shall they hear without a

preacher?”

“And how shall they preach, except they be

sent?”

Will you send me?

I will go to this forgotten mission field of law

enforcement.

Will you join me in training chaplains in Baptist churches throughout Florida to bring the Prince of Peace into the

lives of these “ministers of God for good?”
