The Guardian Call was written by Stephen Paulson, an Associate Pastor of Greater Grace Church in Portland, OR and provides one of the best insights into why some are called to be a protector of others, be it children, the elderly, weak, oppressed or just our fellow church family members. Please read the following and let your heart be touched. For his Name. Jack
The Guardian Call
by Stephen Paulson
How is it that catastrophic mass murder has suddenly become a regular part of American life? I had just returned home from an early church service on December 9 to find the breaking news headline about a shooting at Youth With A Mission (YWAM) in Arvada, CO.

Gabe Suarez is a long time friend and nationally known trainer on self defense. Gabe is a very gifted instructor with a history of having actual done what he teaches. What some people do not realize is that Gabe is also a very devout Christian. I have attended several of his classes and had the pleasure of listening to his presentation of “The Origins Of Christian Pacifism” several years ago and was extremely impressed. Gabe has given permission to us to reprint his original article here for your review.

SOCAL LESSONS LEARNED & NEWS REPORT (5/18/2008)
The lessons of the SoCal church shooting would appear to be the following:
1. All major Church events need security, even outside ones like festivals, feasts, etc. . This one was a festival.
2. The most common violent event in a church setting will probably be a domestic dispute. This man came hunting his wife.
3. These events happen so fast that rarely does one have time to call the police. Most shooting incidents occur quite quickly with some saying that, once they start, they take 10-14 seconds. This man walked in and started shooting.

GUN Shot Avoidance Video!
Dear Glen and Jack,
I recently subscribed as a Church Security member, and subsequently purchased the Church Security CD and Manual Starter Pack. I am a retired law enforcement officer, who appreciates the effort that you have put into your material. Since I retired from the Missouri State Highway Patrol in December 2006, I have been doing private consulting and investigations. During my MSHP career, I was a certified trainer in defensive tactics, to include reactive firearms training (red-handled gun), so I appreciate the spirit with which you have developed and tailored your program to the church.........
Last week, I provided our pastor with the gunshot avoidance video that was included in an E-mail that you sent out last week. He was very impressed with the content, and the way in which it was presented.......
My pastor has requested that I accompany him to the next church conference meeting, to address the conference about security issues, to include gunshot avoidance and the security manual ........
Kindest Regards,
Rick W
Our Security Team was APPROVED!
Hi Glen and Jack,
Well, my partner and I met with Pastor this morning at his request. 100% positive results. Pastor has given us the go ahead to get a risk assessment done, add a couple to our team, outline plan/policy/procedures, contact local law enforcement & fire depts, contact our insurance underwriter, etc etc. Pastor has actually felt the need to do something for some time now, but we'll start small and work our way up, and we're all pretty excited about it.
Your "Basics...How to get Started" manual has been a great help. I'm not sure our presentation to Pastor would have been as effective without it. My partner is impressed with it too, and is ordering his own copy, so he doesn't have to swipe mine. ........
Thanks for all your help. God bless.
Steve R.
Comments on Church Security Startup CD Kit
I received your kit a couple weeks ago. OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!
Without going into too many details, I will just tell you that it saved me weeks of work. You thought of things that I never would have considered and put it all at my finger tips.
Thanks for your guidance and support.
God Bless,

The Church Security Ministry.....is such a vital part of our church ministry. People come to hear the wonderful message of Jesus Christ...the church needs to be a safe place.
Our church security team provides our church family the freedom to focus on ministry while they keep the environment safe and protected. It is a new day in church life and this ministry is a must!
