"Cops, Complaints and Christ" -- The Centurion Law Enforcement Ministry/FCPO Newsletter

This week's newsletter and law enforcement devotional/Bible study is up!  If you're not on the list (easy to do), here it is again: click on "Cops, Complaints and Christ." 

PRAYER REQUESTS:

Updated 11/22/2012

** Please pray for Israel in the midst of the escalating attacks on God's chosen people and nation.

** Please keep us here (Colorado) in prayer as we deal with the aftermath of yet another LODD (the details are in the newsletter and the funeral was held held on 11/15).  This is even more tragic because it was accidental "blue-on-blue."  The officer who fired the fatal shot is a believer and very much in need of prayer and support.

** Englewood PD Officer Jason Pearson is also a Ten-Four Ministries rep and reports that some 1300 cops and 500 firefighters who lived in the path of Hurricane Sandy are in desperate need.  Pray (and keep praying) but I'll be posting more on how we can assist our brethren and their families.  See http://www.officer.com/news/10829192/in-sandy-nypd-officers-find-themselves-the-victims  for more. 

** Jason also asks that we pray for one of his fellow officers (and family) whose teenage son was killed in a MVA.

** Pray for Jim and Terry Wattles who are down (but not out) with the flu.

** Pray for a state patrol chaplain ("Larry") who is having surgery today to repair a hole in his heart. 

**  From an officer in Kenya:  
"Thirty-one police officers of the Kenya National Police Service were killed over the weekend when they were ambushed at about 4.00am on Sunday as the pursued cattle rustlers,  Nine other officers have been airlifted and admitted to a Nairobi hospital in critical condition. 7 more officers are still missing.

The officers were trying to recover over 500 stolen head of cattle when they encountered the armed bandits. About 100 officers were involved in the operation. The remote area is most hard hit by insecurity partly due to proliferation of small arms that has promoted the culture of cattle rustling over the years.

Families of the slain officers are yet to be informed as the officers have been working way far away from their families. Pray with us for the families of the departed and the traumatized officers who survived the attack. Pray also for the chaplains and christian officers who are trying to provide support.
Your brother,
Kibinge wa Muturi
Kenya Police Service"
