  • They thought it would never happen to them, then it did.

    Thanks to Keith Graves, and his Christian Warrior Training, for sharing. ChristianWarriorTraining.com

    Most of the 415 churches hit by acts of hostility in 2024 probably believed they were too small, too rural, or too far from the headlines to be a target. But according to the latest Family Research Council report, 415 churches were vandalized, burned, threatened, or attacked last year — and gun-related incidents more than doubled from the year before.

    One of the problems at churches are folks with emotional and mentally disturbed acts, threats. And many of these interruptions, disturbances, disruptions, could be avoided, controlled, refused, with De-Escalation interventions. Church Security Institute, ChurchSecurityInstitute.net, and George McCormic, aVBPD Retired Instructor, as part of the Protecting His Flock Training, is offering a Free De-escalation Training, on Saturday, August 23rd, 8A-12B, in Virginia Beach Va, to help you.

    Be Prepared, Ready, with the training, to help to prevent a situation that, if not refused, deferred, or deterred, could be a serious incident, with the possibility of damages, danger, injuries, or deaths.

  • 10 Steps to Prevent Child Abduction At Your Church

    According to the Child Crime Prevention and Safety Center, the majority of abduction cases are committed by family members. However, 28% of kidnappings are carried out by strangers. The FBI estimates every 40 seconds, a child goes missing or is abducted in the United States, with approximately 840,000 children reported missing each year. And some At church.

    The difference between kidnapping and abduction is that kidynapping refers to taking by force, threat, or deceit, with the intent to cause harm. Abduction involves persuasion, fraud, force, and can be in context of family dispute, or divorce, church may not know of.

    The most common reasons kids go missing include wandering off, being abducted by strangers or family members without a court order, running away, getting lost, and mental health issues. Nearly all children abducted by strangers are taken by men, with about two-thirds of stranger abductions are most often those involving female children.

  • Man Charged with Multiple Assaults In Church Service, Another Could Have Been, In Va.

    On the morning of July 27th, the Charlottesville Va Police Department, a man began physically assaulting attendees shortly before a Sunday service. Could this be your church?

    Although no serious injuries were reported, church members managed to restrain the suspect until police arrived around 9:45 a.m. He was taken into custody without further incident. Did church have a Trained Safety Team?

    The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are encouraging anyone with additional information to come forward. (Report: Forrest Holt WVIR)

    A church in Portsmouth Va had a problem with man, who appeared to possibly homeless, sit in front of a church, blocking one door. When he approached by Safety Team member, who advised he couldn’t block the door, but he could come in for the church service. He attend the church service.

    He was wearing a backback, however nothing was done, or said, about the backpack. After going into the service, the visitor sat on the floor, instead of in a chair. The Team member went back over and advised that he needed to sit in a chair, and he could not sit on floor.

    By this time, as service going on, an Elder came over to see what was going on. And he asked about the backpack and what was in it, which Team member said he didn’t know. Nothing was done and the service continued without any other issues. Later the Elder talked with the Team Lead, who was never called on the radio to be notified of this event.

    This event brought up several other recent events of strange behavior, and the need to review Safety Plan, their Policies, Training, and need to do a Review Of Teams Training, it’s duties. Hopefully the Elders, Pastor, will take more interest in safety security now.

    Can, Does, your church have a Team, amd do more they have better skills, training, to prevent this or other types of incidents that could be a problem? Don’t Wait For Problem, Be Prepared.

  • 11 Stabbed At A Walmart, Transverse City, Michigan.

    Authorities in Michigan say 11 people were stabbed at a Walmart in Traverse City on Saturday, and the suspect is in custody. A folding knife, nit a gun, used in the attack, which could have easily been at a church, akso open to public.

    The Sheriff said that it appeared the victims were randomly chosen. “It appears they were random acts,” he said. “It appears the victims were not pre-determined.” The Next Attack?

    A Walmart spokesperson said that “Violence like this is unacceptable. Our thoughts are with those who were injured and we’re thankful for the swift action of first responders.” Sadly, attacks like this are hard to prevent.

    Churches, Houses Of Worship have an advantage if they gave a Plan, Policies, and Trained Safety Team to carry out prevention, being observant to who is coming and going facility. This starts in the Parking Area to the monitored entry doors fir anyone who seems out of order, place, or are acting strangely.

  • TERRORISM UPDATE: Texas Man Arrested for Plotting Attacks on Christian Targets

    Federal authorities arrested a Texas man, James Wesley Burger, after uncovering a plan to carry out attacks on Christian targets, using Roblox, a popular online gaming platform, to communicate and share extremist content. But are churches seeing this and taking action to prevent issues?

    According to a criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas, Burger described himself as a “terrorist” and sympathizer of the Islamic State (IS), using the platform to discuss and plan acts of violence. Giving warning?

    is it possible that this isn’t more widely reported, for a reason? Does it show that lone wolf actors are our greatest threat and our government is not advising churches of people actively trying to kill us? Why aren’t more churches, Houses Of Worship, taking steps to Be Prepared, Ready?Why don’t more have a Risk Review, develop a Plan, Policies, for their Safety Security, with Trained Teams, to implement and carry out the Plan?
