"The Investigation" -- Evidence of a Changed Life

This week's Centurion Law Enforcement Ministry/FCPO newsletter and devotional is UP!  Click on "The Investigation -- Evidence of a Changed Life.  What about you?  Is there enough evidence to convict you of being a Christian?  Even enough PC (probable cause) to get an arrest warrant?    This message was some three years in the making.  Read, watch, pray, heed...and then pass it on.  Lots of news and announcements as well.

Hope to see you tomorrow at Capstone Ministry in Castle Rock and this Thursday for Centurion Ministry at Calvary South Denver in Littleton.

Please continue to pray for those on the front lines fighting the fires here in Colorado.  So far 500 homes have been lost in the Black Forest Fire -- including several belonging to our fellow servant-warriors.

Blessings!

Bulletproof Warrior Seminar

Was blessed to assist my friends and brothers-in-Christ Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and Lt. Jim Glennon for the first-ever Calibre Press/Lifeline Training Bulletproof Warrior Seminar this week at the Univ. of Denver.  DPD Officer Pam Jackson did a great job putting all this together and this unique joint seminar (Jim one day, Dave the next) is a MUST-see for every cop and anyone who is a true servant-warrior and sheepdog.

The "Knock and Talk"

This week's Centurion Law Enforcement Ministry/Fellowship of Christian Peace Officers newsletter and devotional has gone out to our worldwide readership and on Facebook but here it is again for those who  have yet to sign up and/or those wanting to have it as a resource -- click on "Knock & Talk."  Those of who have served on "the street" for any length of time understand the use of a knock and talk and our own retired Denver PD and State of Colorado detective-turned-chaplain Jim Wattles has done quite a few of them.  So how does that relate to us biblically?  Click the link and find out (then pass it on).  Lots of news, announcements, local meeting schedules (also here on this site -- "eyes left, scroll down")  and more...enjoy.

Stay safe but bold in Christ and feel free to contact me if we can be of assistance.

A Cop's Ultimate Destiny

This week's Centurion Law Enforcement Ministry e-newsletter and devotional has gone out to our worldwide readership but here it is again for those who missed it or who have not yet signed up: A Cop's Destiny.   Where will YOU spend eternity?  Do you know for sure?  Pass it on

As many of you know, we buried our own Trooper Edward "Eddie" Taylor, IV this past Friday.  Please continue to pray for his widow, baby, and both families.  Pray also for those affected by the tornadoes, fires, floods, etc. going on all over this country and the world.  Remind you of anything?  Click on Signs of the End Times.  Time is running short -- are you ready?

The meeting schedules have been updated -- eyes left/scroll down.

Let's stay the course in Christ!

Latest Prayer Requests:

-- FCPO President Paul Lee writes,

This past Saturday June 1, 2013 one of my second cousins, Will Hutchins' 16 years old, was involved in a roll over crash. As of yesterday morning he was paralyzed from the waist down and the prognosis was not good. After much prayer the doctors were able to determine his spinal cord was not severed but he had some badly broken vertebrae around it. Surgery was performed this morning and I just received news that all went well. He will be moved to a spine center in Atlanta later but the prognosis is much better. I am asking that you place Will on your prayer lists for a full recovery.

Also for his mom (my cousin) Carla and her husband Bryan Hutchins. Bryan is a Sheriff’s Deputy in Coweta County, Georgia. I would also ask, if the Lord leads you, to send Bryan a note email letting him know you are praying for his son. I think it would be a blessing if when he checks his email that there would be words of encouragement from FCPO LEO’s and Former LEO’s from all over the U.S. & Canada & wherever else this email goes.  His email address is bhutchins@coweta.ga.us.

This week's Centurion LE Ministry/FCPO Newsletter is UP:  Click on "A Cop's Marriage."  As always, lots of news, announcements and resources as well.  Pass it on

Secondly, it is my sad (for us who remain) duty to report that CSP Trooper Eddie Taylor passed away early Memorial Day morning (fitting).  His dad/my pastor, Ed Taylor, writes, "You're invited to the memorial service for our son Eddie scheduled for this Friday, May 31st at 10am at the Denver First Church of The Nazarene. Thank you for your continued prayers and support during this difficult time."

Please continue to pray for Ed, Marie, Rachael (his widow), son Levi (4 mo. old), Josh, Caitlin and the entire Taylor/Fricke family.  Pray also for his CSP colleagues who are also hurting.

(3) Bert Sharp of International Police Fellowship in the UK sends the following:

-- Please pray for a retired police officer from New South Wales who is an alcoholic and suicidal. His partner has left him and his family have issues with him and have all abandoned him. He has a past Christian background.  Pray he returns to his first love, Jesus, to have a new beginning.
