Church attacks are escalating. Would your church know what to do in a Terminal Situation?
The 5-Fold Armor-Bearer Ministry, which is a ministerial service with “Christian base” dignitary characteristics, is hosting a 4 hour workshop on Saturday, April 18th 2009 between the hours of 1 PM to 5 PM at Anta’s Fitness and Self Defense, located at 10721 NW 58thSt. in Doral Florida 33178. The idea of this workshop is to consider it as an insurance policy praying that it is never needed. It’s time to add action to our faith.
With the recent slaying of the late Fred Winters, who was the Senior Pastor of the First Baptist Church in Maryville IIlinois, shows that it’s time for church leaders to add wisdom to their faith. For many years it was taboo to consider security or concealed weapon protection in the church setting – echoed even to date. The question then becomes did you lock your home when you left to work, or when you left your vehicle? If you did I would challenge you and ask you why if you have faith. Well, because faith without works is dead, according to the scriptures we live or die for. With this principle in mind, consider terrorist attacks (highly motivated by spiritual convictions) or the economy (current recession), and so on. With the many attacks recorded throughout the last several years within churches throughout our country, why have we (The Church), continued to operate so naively?
