While in Oklahoma City, on that Saturday night (Nov. 4), Frank went out to dinner with his fellow students. He dined with the instructor. The instructor called his attention to the shootings that had occurred at church... PLEASE WATCH THE INTERVIEW WITH FRANK

Inside the church, he opened fire on the 350 worshipers...

He entered the church during the Sunday morning worship service. He was armed with 4 guns. He shouted, "This is War!" He then opened fire; 15 worshipers were shot - 5 were dead.

The photo is of a local newspaper that told the story the day after the tragedy. Inside the red circle are bloodstains of one of the victims. It is a story you NEED to know about - and the movie that tells the story ... One of the speakers at the conference was married in this church...

A Sample of Topics To Be Covered at the Conference

ACTIVE SHOOTER - Colonel Grossman prefers the term "Active Killer." And that is precisely what they are - killers. We will show you their approach (where are most of them "coming from?"). Many of the massacres that have occurred at houses of worship might not have taken place had the safety team been stationed at the right place. We will show you that "place," as well as what type of person to station there.

DE-ESCALATION - If you serve in any capacity of security, learning how to Deescalate is an absolute must. The overwhelming majority of disturbances at a house of worship (or anywhere) requires the skills of deescalation. We will show you a unique “formula” you can utilize, one which is easy to remember, and will help to sharpen your skills as a “de-escalator.” We will introduce a new approach to de-escalation; The P.E.T. Program.

LESSONS LEARNED FROM TRAGEDIES - We will walk you through two tragedies that occurred at two different churches. The presenters will be individuals who witnessed the horror scene. You will learn from the tragedy at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, CO (December 9, 2007). The attacker arrived after the morning worship services and opened fire outside the church. He wounded three, and killed two sisters. And we will also walk you through the site of the worst massacre in the history of the state of Texas: First Baptist Church of Sutherland Springs, TX. The killer entered the sanctuary (during services) and shot 48 worshipers - killing 26. The first officer on scene will give this presentation.

WHAT DOES THE "PREPARED PERSON" LOOK LIKE ON SUNDAYS? If you're involved in the safety ministry at your house of worship, then you are in the one ministry that cannot fail! The "bad guy" only has to get it right once: you have to get it right every time! You must put forth your best effort every time the people gather, whether you meet on Sundays, Saturdays, or whenever. We will show you what "Prepared" looks like.

SEX CRIMES PREVENTION - Every 68 seconds, an American is sexually assaulted. And EVERY 9 MINUTES, that victim is a ... CHILD. And the location of many of these sex crimes is in a religious setting. We will show you what you can do to decrease the chances of a sex crime at your house of worship (church camp, etc) PLEASE ... SEND YOUR CHILDREN'S WORKERS AND YOUTH DIRECTORS. Parents MUST know that when their children are at church, they ... will ... be ... kept ... safe ... from ... predators ... (NEWS: Arkansas pastor charged with 100 counts related to child sexual abuse - READ STORY).

WHAT IS OUR "MOTIVATION" FOR HAVING THIS CONFERENCE?

"LOVE" is our motive!

There is no greater motivation for serving as a Protector of the Flock than LOVE. Every member of our team cares about others. They LOVE their family, their friends, their community - their nation.

In 1st Corinthians 13:7, the Apostle Paul writes that, "LOVE ... always PROTECTS..."

HOMELAND SECURITY WARNING FOR "FAITH-BASED INSTITUTIONS."

“The United States remains in a heightened threat environment…”

Lone offenders and small groups motivated by a range of ideological beliefs and/or personal grievances continue to pose a persistent and lethal threat to the Homeland ... Targets of potential violence include public gatherings, faith-based institutions ..."

In 2023, Family Research Council identified 436 incidents (vandalism to violence) - more than double the number identified in 2018. These findings suggest that hostility against U.S. churches is not only on the rise - but also accelerating.

RECENT EXAMPLES OF VIOLENCE ON FAITH-BASED PROPERTY

VIDEO: Recently, Keith Graves of Christian Warrior Training interviewed Col. Grossman about the reality of the threats of violence against Americans - and their houses of worship.

Jesus and His Protective Instincts

The scripture makes it clear that He was a … Protector of His flock

Near the end of His earthly ministry, in His prayer for His sheep, He says to His Father: "While I was with them (the disciples), I protected them and kept them safe ..." (John 17:12). Did you catch those words: "protected" and "kept them safe?" Yes, Jesus was protective of His sheep. John 18 tells us that when He was arrested, He insisted that His disciples be let go.

DID YOU KNOW THAT JESUS’ LIFE WAS 88 PERCENT TRAINING, AND 12 PERCENT PRACTICAL APPLICATION?

YOUR CHURCH SAFETY TEAM IS NOT “RIGHT WHERE THEY NEED TO BE.” No - they’re not. And no team in the country can make such a boast. And that is exactly why your team must understand the value of training. We encourage you to take advantage of this conference - this training - so that you will be better equipped to Protect the Flock.

And in your final days, be able to say to the Father: "I protected them - I kept them safe."

“We do NOT rise to the occasion. We sink to the level of our training." (Col. Grossman)
