June 15, 2007: We welcome the State of
California to our list of on going projects.
Look at this awesome testimony that came
to us from Mississippi.
June 6, 2007: We have
been very busy with distributions while
Mississippi & Arkansas
have joined our efforts. The death of Fort Smith Police Officer
Daniel Martinez
has led to a dialogue about the project with a few
officers in the area. I met with an area pastor and Fort Smith Officer
today. They are launching an effort to purchase 500 books for every
officer in the area. We will keep you posted.
April 1, 2007: Fort Smith Police Officer
Daniel Martinez was
killed in the line of duty on March 23rd. Tulsa Police Officer Steve
Dickson went to high school with Danny and donated a case of books to several
small Oklahoma departments where they grew up.
March 27, 2007: It was
another awesome day. The kids at Eagle Point
Christian Academy donated 48 books to the Sapulpa Police Department.
The school had a ceremony which was attended by the local media and members of
the Sapulpa Police Department.
March 22, 2007: What an incredible blessing today
was. Myself and other team members were invited to the Tulsa Chapter of
the International Fellowship of Christian
Businessmen. We can't thank this organization enough for letting us
speak about this project. Special thanks to Ted Robertson and Peter Enns
for their invitation and support of the Take Up The Shield project.
March 16, 2007: We have updated the agencies that
have received Take Up The Shield. Visit the
Oklahoma & Alabama page for details.
February 23, 2007: We would like to thank KFAQ
Radio for their assistance with the project.

Police Department received 132 copies of Take Up The Shield. This is the
largest agency to receive Take Up The Shield to date.
February 20, 2007: Today was exciting as the
Sand Springs Police Department became the first agency
to receive Take Up The Shield. Thanks to Broadway Baptist, every officer
has received the book.

Up The Shield project this week. We are scheduled to give the books to
