This week's Centurion LE Ministry/FCPO newsletter and Bible study/devo has once again gone out to our email subscribers (FREE) but, as usual, here it is in this format. Lots of prayer request, resources, announcements (including the fact that we're changing our meeting room at Calvary Aurora) and of course the Bible study/devotional. Click on "Applying Our Tactics" and then pass it on to others.
Blessings!

Updated Prayer Requests
So begins the first list of PRAYER REQUESTS in the New Year (more to follow -- check back frequently).
UPDATED 01/13/2012
** Retired DPD officer and current pastor and DPD chaplain Manny Hays is headed to Mexico on a mission trip. Please keep this radical Christian and those accompanying him in prayer.
** Ron Seney in Canada sends the following: I have an update on my prayer request for Catherine Robar, Chaplain of Bluenose Chapter of the Canadian Fellowship of Christian Peace Officers (Nova Scotia). Catherine, (my Sister-in-Law) went through major throat surgery for the removal of an extensive network of cancer. She also endured radiation treatments that left her without the ability to speak and such a severe sore throat, that she could only eat soft foods. Well, once again our God is able! I am pleased to report an answer to prayer as an early offering for our international prayer chain in 2012. Last Sunday, Catherine led the service and delivered the message at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church in West Northfield, Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, (Episcopalian to you folks). Rev. Robar was a participant in our Conference 2011, in Bridgewater and many attending that conference will welcome that news. Best regards of the new year; Ron S. Seney, Regional Director (Atlantic) N.S., N.F. & P.E.I., FCPO Canada & Sr. Chaplain, ICPC. Praise God!
** An officer's son is undergoing surgery to deal with pancreatic cancer. Pray also for that the officer and his family will come to Christ.
** Pray for an Army and USMC vet (current/active duty Army) in GA who is suffering from PTSD.
** Gloria Roman-Martinez is the wife of 30 years of Denver PD Lt. Ernie Martinez. She was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and admitted to a Denver Hospital on December 30th, where she remains. Her diagnosis was later changed to a rare subset of Leukemia called Biphenotypic. She is undergoing chemo and will require a bone marrow transplant soon.
Please pray for Gloria, Ernie and their 3 children as they face this trial with God at their side.

** The following was sent to chaplains Bill and Claudia Wolfe who in turn asked me to pass it on: Got a call at 0700 this morning telling me that one of my midnight rookies was critically injured at 0030 in an on-duty MVA. Conneticut Officer Todd Lentocha was on Route 2 off the roadway working a burglary detail. A pick-up truck slammed into his cruiser from behind totaling the car and rendering massive injuries. Todd was in the hospital having brain surgery due to a severely fractured skull earlier today. The news reports state he is "fighting for his life."
Todd is a 2 tour Iraqi Marine Corps Veteran and has a wife and 3 kids, one of whom is special needs. He is an outstanding street cop and I am praying for his recovery.
There is a prayer service going on for Todd this AM: See http://www.wtnh.com/dpp/news/tolland_cty/prayer-service-officer-todd-lentocha
** A LEO's spouse is set to have a hysterectomy on Jan. 23rd. Please keep her, her family and the medical team in prayer.
** Pray for FCPO President Paul Lee who will have back surgery on Thursday, Jan. 5th (healing, recovery, pain management, etc.). UPDATE: Notified that Paul is in recovery...more to follow.
** Milwaukee PD Officer Frank Vrtochnick is still in critical condition this morning and he faces another surgery today. His strength has been an inspiration to the entire Milwaukee Police Department and to the community. Even though the suspect has been charged, Frank's fight continues. His family is grateful for all the support from the Milwaukee Police family, friends and, as they coined them, "the friends we haven't met yet..." Let's pray!
UPDATE: Frank has been upgraded from critical to serious but still has a long way to go. His assailant -- apparently an ILLEGAL alien -- was arrested before he could board a bus bound for Mexico. Let's continue to pray for Frank. See http://www.fox6now.com/news/witi-20120103-alvarado-search-warrants,0,1255822.story
** Kristi Neace in MO sends the following: "Had to have my dad taken to the hospital for safe keeping and observation. He has dementia and it has finally turned completely ugly. Weighing all the options now. Pray for my mom as she goes through hard days ahead."
** Pray for a veteran San Antonio Park Police officer who is fighting cancer and working light duty while doing so.
** Dick Murphey, a retired officer and one of the early board members for FCPO, is asking that we be in prayer for his wife of 60 years as she prepares to make her journey home to be with the Lord in the coming days. Pray also for Dick and his family in this time of both joy and sadness.
** Please know that this is NOT a football request (I'm not a big Broncos fan) but rather that we need to be in prayer for Tim Tebow. This godly young man is being continually vilified for his outspoken faith (he sets a great example for us) and the enemy is working OT against him. Many may come to Christ due to Tim's example -- win or lose. Here is but one example of the persecution he is receiving for living his faith in the way God is calling all of us to: www.onenewsnow.com/Perspectives/Default.aspx?id=1503986
** US Fish & Wildlife Agent Leo Suazo writes, "My Dad was diagnosed last Wednesday with multiple myeloma stage III. He is also in stage 5 renial failure. We have been told a month or two? Who knows but God. After I told my Dad what he was facing, My Dad said "We all have to go through this Valley and I am ready" What words of courage!! My Dad has always been My Hero! It will be an honor to see my Dad home!! Janell and I thank you in advance for your thoughts and prayers! It is our faith, family and friends that will see us though this valley!"
** Please pray for FL Officer Chris Dye, brother of FL Dep./Det. and fellow FCPO Nat. Board member Mike Dye. Chris is facing serious issues stemming from a duty-related incident.
** Arkansas City, KS Police Chief Sean Wallace sends this: "The wife of one of my officers had simple back surgery about a month ago. She was recovering fine and then she got a staff infection (mersa). It abscessed and damaged some nerve endings and now it is possible she might not walk at least normally again. They are trying to knock the down the infection so she can do physical therapy, but it is taking longer than expected. Her leave runs out January 6, 2012 and her pay check will stop. They rely on her pay check as well as Tom's to get by. So a lot to pray for there but most of all for healing. We need a miracle."
** The Board Members of Fellowship of Christian Peace Officers - USA (www.FCPO.org) -- of which I am one -- request prayer for ourselves and our loved ones reference a myriad of issues. We very much covet your prayer support.

Late-Breaking Prayer Requests and Announcements
PRAYER REQUESTS Updated 11/30/2011

** Ryan Pearson, son of Englewood (CO) PD Ofc. Jason Pearson, suffers from some pretty serious asthma issues (he was in the hospital over the weekend) and is in need of prayer.
** Please pray for a colleague in NM who is applying for an investigator position with the state (God's will and favor).
** From fellow FCPO National Board members Paul Lee and a Chuck Urgo: We received a call this morning from Fort Worth K-9 Officer Royce Hearne requesting prayer for his teenage daughter Casey. Casey has had many surgeries since childhood and may have cancerous tumors in her leg now. She will be having a full body MRI on Tuesday. She has always wanted to be a missionary to India. Royce and his wife have an older daughter, Eairn. Keep the whole family in your prayers. Royce is a former member of the FCPO national board.
Let's lift Casey in prayer!
** As many of you know, Angie Hays, wife of retired Denver PD Officer and current pastor and DPD Chaplain Manny Hays has been awaiting a life-saving liver transplant. News had been bad but we serve a great God! Yesterday a compatible liver became available and the surgery took place within hours. Angie is in recovery and doing well. Still long way to go and she is obviously in pain. Please keep our sister-in-Christ in prayer, pray for Manny (3 hours sleep), and for the family of the donor.
** Thanks for all who prayed for me ref. my teaching ("preachin") at last night's service at Calvary South Denver (message should be available for free download at www.calvarycsd.org).
** Be praying for all warriors -- foreign and domestic (military and law enforcement) -- who will be working this Thanksgiving! Then thank God for His blessings on this nation.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
** The Newsletter goes out in a day or two. That said, our own Jim Wattles will be teaching at this Thursday's "cop church" meeting at Calvary South Denver in Littleton staring at 1900 hours. In addition, Matt Wallenburg is home from his military training and will be joining us to lead worship!! Please join us (bring your spouse and invite a colleague)!
** From Commerce City Police Chief Phil Baca: I’m sorry to inform you that I need your help! You knew the law would finally catch up with me eventually and I'm going behind bars for "good". I
have been named as one of Commerce City's Most Wanted and I am scheduled to be locked up on December 1st at South Adams County Fire Department to help send 2 local children to summer camp in Empire, CO next June. My goal is to raise $1600. Go to www2.mda.org/site/TR/Lock-Up/55-E4-657-DenverDistrict?px=1028971&pg=personal&fr_id=1790 to donate to my bail and help provide “the best week of the year” for a local child living with Muscular Dystrophy. Your donation is tax-deductible and will help guarantee me an early release! Thanks in advance for your help. Don't hesitate to call or email me with any questions.
Together we'll make a difference.
Phil Baca, Chief, CCPD
** From Mike Carter:
Dear Friends and Family,
I would like to invite you as guests to attend my graduation ceremony at Arapahoe Community College at 6 PM on Friday, Dec. 9th. I realize many of you cannot attend due to time constraints or distance. If you cannot attend, of course, I understand. This is more of an announcement to you “out-of-town’ers” rather than an invite. If you are able to, and plan to attend, please R.S.V.P. to me (ASAP at raidermike2005@comcast.net) so I can give a head count to our academy coordinator so they can adequately prepare for the reception to follow.
I have had a great time and did very well during the 17 week academy program. I am in the running for the “Big Wheel” award given to the academy student who scored highest in the driving portion of the training.
I hope to see you there! Don’t forget to r.s.v.p. for this event. If you are not sure if you can make it or not until the last minute and didn’t get a chance to r.s.v.p for this occasion, please feel free to show up anyway. I’m sure they’ll account for a few more than had r.s.v.p’d. They always do!
Sincere regards,
Mike Carter

New Prayer Requests, Announcements and More...
PRAYER REQUESTS (updated 06/23/2011)
** Continue to pray for retired Denver PD officer and current chaplain and pastor Manny Hays and his bride Angie who is battleing a very aggressive form of liver cancer and is awaiting a life-saving transplant. Both Manny and Angie are mighty in the Lord!
** Speaking of Manny, he writes, Please pray for my daughter Rene' as she is having complications in her pregnancy. She has been told that she may have to have a C-section due to the complications. If she doesn't get better by this afternoon she will be admitted to the hospital. Pray for her and the baby and for the guidance of the Doctors.
In Christ
Manny
** The wife of an Abilene officer has had a heart attack (survived, praise God). Please keep her in prayer.
** An officer's wife is being considered for a teaching post -- please pray for God's favor and will. She needs a job in general but has the call to teach.
** I'm once again asking prayer for little Elizabeth Jetton, her mother Sheila (a Chattanooga TN PD officer) and husband Matt. See www.caringbridge.org/visit/elizabethjetton for the latest. There is room here for both praise and continued prayer. Please consider leaving them a note of encouragement as well.
** UPDATE! Retired DPD Officer and long-time Colorado POFCI Diretor Mark Roggeman was heading to Utah on a missionary outreach trip to the Mormons but that has been cancelled because his wife Rosalie fell and broke both of her feet. She underwent surgery which went well but she is also a diabetic and as such there is a very high chance for infection. PLEASE PRAY!
** PRAISE REPORT from Chaplain Grant Wolf in TN:
After two days in the hospital and many tests, the doctors found nothing significantly wrong with our daughter-in-law other than elevated blood pressure. Because of what happened, time of day (early morning), etc. they are pretty certain it was a mild seizure, perhaps aggravated by stress. Thank you again for praying. It was a worrisome time for all the family, especially their two young children.
** Law Enforcement National Day of Prayer is this Friday, June 17th from 0900-1200. See www.facebook.com/home.php#!/event.php?eid=214391271922124

Updated (Nov. 3rd) Prayer Requests & Meeting Schedule
Updated (Nov. 3rd) PRAYER REQUESTS & PRAISE REPORTs:
-- Be in prayer for a CO Western Slope officer who is facing surgery to repair a damaged shoulder.
-- Another officer is struggling with an infection pursuant to a very complex shoulder surgery -- pray for complete healing and restoration. It is a job-related injurey.
-- PRAISE Report! The bogus Virgin Islands murder charge against ATF Special Agent Will Clark has been dismissed (should never have been filed)! Praise God indeed! Thanks to all who have been praying. http://www.policemag.com/Channel/Patrol/News/2010/10/28/Case-Dismissed-Against-ATF-Agent-Tried-for-Murder-In-Virgin-Islands.aspx.
-- PRAISE Report! From Robert Dahl in Oregon:
I asked for prayer last week for the newborn baby of a fellow officer here in Oregon! I have a wonderful praise report to share from Mom’s Facebook post, and want to ask that we all continue to cover this little angel and his family!
From Mom:
"So......They found out the bacteria that was in Ryker's system is Ecoli. What I'm about to type doesn't even make sense, & the Dr's have no explination for it. Once they found the infection, the very minute PRIOR to starting him on anitbiotics, they did another blood draw. They sent it to the lab to see if it would grow more cultures then the one the night before. It grew nothing. My little 22 day old miracle baby fought off Ecoli infection all by himself! The Dr. couldn't explain it, so the only other think I can thing of, is that we got the miracle we asked for. Thank you all :)."
The awesome power of prayer! Praise God, from whom all blessings flow!!! Pleaese continue to pray for this child and her parents as they are still looking at another 4-6 weeks before discharge.
-- Another praise and ongoing prayer request sent by Paul Lee in Chattanooga (TN):
Here is he latest praise update on Little Elizabeth Jetton. Please keep the Jetton family in your prayers. Just a word of encouragement to all of you: I talked with Matt the other day and he said they were so surprised and encouraged by all the notes from cops all over the country and even some from other countries. Thank you all for praying and for encouraging the Jetton family. Take time today to send them another note on Elizabeth's guest book.
http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/elizabethjetton
-- Be in prayer for a colleague in Grand Junction who may once again be battleing cancer (healing, clean scan, etc.). Pray also for an abundance of strength and grace to stay the course!
-- Pray for the family and colleagues of Bernallilo Co. (NM) Sheriff's Deputy Dean Miera

-- Army vet Ron Leonard of Christian Military Fellowship (linked here on our site) writes,
On Nov. 1st at 5:05 PM (Eastern) I will have the awesome privilege to be on "Janet Parshall Live" for a 25 min. radio interview. I will be talking about the post traumatic stress syndrome, and how the body of Christ can biblically respond. Her show covers around 200 radio markets. So I would covet your prayers as I share. Pray that I will only say what the Lord wants me to say. Also pray I will be clear in telling others how they can have an eternal impact on our brave men and women in uniform!

-- Pray for a colleague -- an outstanding leader -- in the Midwest who was recently terminated at the bequest of others who are in fact very poor leaders despite their high-profile status.
-- Pray for fellow FCPO board member and Arkansas City (KS) Chief Sean Wallace who is currently attending the IACP conference: that Sean will be given opportunities to share Christ and model godly leadership with other chiefs who are in desperate need of both.
-- Dennis Casida asks that we be in prayer for two friends who are both in great physical pain from illnesses.
-- Pray for a colleague who is battling some tough issues in the wake of an officer-involved shooting.

-- PRAISE Report! From Robert Dahl in Oregon:
I asked for prayer last week for the newborn baby of a fellow officer here in Oregon! I have a wonderful praise report to share from Mom’s Facebook post, and want to ask that we all continue to cover this little angel and his family!
From Mom:
"So......They found out the bacteria that was in Ryker's system is Ecoli. What I'm about to type doesn't even make sense, & the Dr's have no explination for it. Once they found the infection, the very minute PRIOR to starting him on anitbiotics, they did another blood draw. They sent it to the lab to see if it would grow more cultures then the one the night before. It grew nothing. My little 22 day old miracle baby fought off Ecoli infection all by himself! The Dr. couldn't explain it, so the only other think I can thing of, is that we got the miracle we asked for. Thank you all :)."
The awesome power of prayer! Praise God, from whom all blessings flow!!! Pleaese continue to pray for this child and her parents as they are still looking at another 4-6 weeks before discharge.
-- Another praise and ongoing prayer request sent by Paul Lee in Chattanooga (TN):
Here is he latest praise update on Little Elizabeth Jetton. Please keep the Jetton family in your prayers. Just a word of encouragement to all of you: I talked with Matt the other day and he said they were so surprised and encouraged by all the notes from cops all over the country and even some from other countries. Thank you all for praying and for encouraging the Jetton family. Take time today to send them another note on Elizabeth's guest book.
