I would like to say a few words to all serving peace officers who know THE LORD. This FCPO is one ministry that speaks to the lost peace officers with a complete knowledge of what they face each day. Why? Because each and every one of us has BEEN THERE, DONE IT -- or has loved ones that are there now.
The Fellowship of Christian Peace Officers is your tool to reach out to the men and women you work with. Why do so many of you not support this ministry by attending, when you can and as often as you can, the meetings and breakfast fellowships organized by the local chapters? These are done so you can come together and pray for the ones you work with. When I ask this question, the answer I often receive is, "I'm busy in my church”.
Ask yourself, “Could what I am doing in my church be done by others who are not peace officers? Could I then be freed up to give my time to a ministry that touches the workplace?” I am not saying that this is the only ministry you should be involved in. I am asking you to give this priority. After all, we are talking about the lost souls that you work with. I am sorry if this sounds a bit too critical to some but I cannot help it when I see the work being left to too few. The few cannot cover all the needs.
In sports, the team that goes forward is the team that functions as a team. At sea, a ship is in trouble if the crew cannot push aside their differences and come together in harmony.
Some ships carry food to the starving while others are cruise ships. I liken our FCPO ship to the cargo ship sailing through storms to bring the spiritual food to the lost and dying. Peace officers are the crew of this ship.
WILL YOU SIGN ON AND BE A CREW MEMBER TO HELP GET THE SHIP THROUGH?
May God bless all who read this and take it as it is meant. From one who has a heart burdened for all those peace officers that do not know THE LORD, let us make every effort to reach them. They are searching for Truth and Peace in their lives and do not know which way to go. Many peace officers learn how to direct traffic and people, so let's use this training to direct those lost and looking for the right turn in the road.
