I’M EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT I’M HOSTING MY FIRST-EVER …

Bulletproof House of Worship Safety Conference

Join me in Mount Vernon, Illinois - 87 miles east of St. Louis - for this inaugural event. We’ll come together and learn how to Protect our Congregations, Ensure their Safety, and be Victorious in Spiritual Warfare!

I’ve invited some of the top experts and trainers to discuss the current threats to houses of worship and the essential measures we need to take to prevent acts of violence in our places of worship.

We'll start on Thursday afternoon, April 24, at 1:00 p.m. We'll conclude on Saturday around 12:30 p.m. I hope to see YOU in April.

"For 44 years I have had to live with the pain of having watched my 7-year old sister shot to death ... IN A CHURCH … I’m pleading with all of you to attend this conference and learn how to have a fighting chance against these monsters." - Jeff (survivor of a massacre at a house of worship)

Jeff was at church in June of 1980 when a gunman entered during the morning worship service, shouted "This is War!," and then shot 15 worshipers - killing 5. Jeff's sister, Gina, was among the deceased. The words below are from Jeff ...

“I was only 4-years old when the gunman entered during the morning worship service and began to shoot. I have forgiven the killer, but forgetting is something I will never be able to do."

Gina (Jeff's sister)

JEFF IS NOT ALONE IN HIS PAIN ...

Anyone who, like Jeff, has witnessed such horror from having seen an act of violence, understands the pain that comes with it. And it can last a lifetime.

Every day in our country hundreds (thousands?) of our citizens experience the pain and grief that comes from being victimized by violence. And those that die in an act of violence leave behind grieving families and friends.

Some will take their pain to the grave.

This is one of the primary reasons we conduct these conferences: we do not want Jeff’s story to … become your story (or the story of someone in your life).

LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS TRAGEDY (AND THE MOVIE THAT WAS MADE)

Russell May with his grandmother

HE NEVER COULD GET OVER IT.

Russell was only 11-years old when he witnessed the tragedy at the church where Gina was killed.

He, like Jeff, was deeply traumatized by the incident. He rushed out the door a few minutes later, and saw the killer lying on the ground across the street. He recognized him as the same man who had given him a dog two weeks earlier.

Five years later, Russell abandoned the church. But what he witnessed that day would never cease to haunt him. The trauma from the tragedy opened the door for a life time of pain.

Thirty-four years later, Russell took his life.

5 Examples of Topics covered at The Conference

1- 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.

2- De-escalation

1- Active Shooter

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.”

3- Lessons Learned from Tragedies

4- Sex Crimes Prevention

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 46 worshipers - killing 26. The first officer on scene will give this presentation.

4- 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.

5- What Does the "Prepared Person" Look Like on Sunday?

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're going to show you what the Prepared Person looks like. What is he/she wearing? What equipment should be on their person?

Every single time we have given this presentation, 95% of the attendees were not "prepared."

The vast majority of them had never even given any thought to what we were sharing.

Brothers and Sisters - we ... must ... get ... better!

And we will.

We are often asked "WHY" we do these conferences.

We're receiving a lot of questions about the conference.

"LOVE" ... is ... "WHY."

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

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)
