Trinity Security Allies in Review and Its Future

​Since Wendy and I started this ministry back in October of 2015 we have been working on ways to better serve you in the protection of your houses of worship.  We started off with teaching the basic on why you need a church safety team from a biblical point of view.  We started to network churches to share information on concerns and persons of interest that are possible threats to the order of the church services.  In doing this we have found disruptive people who have traveled not only from church to church but from county to county. 
 
In 2016 we started to teach a class on threat profiling, being able to identify those that are coming into your church that are hurting or maybe wanting to do harm.  We have now taught this class all over the country with great success.  We hear stories of safety team members using the information provided in this training to spot and successfully halt potential threats in their houses of worship.  This last year we have added verbal de-escalation teaching safety team members how to approach a hostile situation and move it from a threat to an opportunity to witness the love of God.  Now with the aid of our new simulator we have been able to put safety team members in real life situations.  These scenarios force safety team member to make split second decisions on whether they can verbally talk the threat down or must draw their weapon to defend members of your congregation.  This month we are putting out a booklet, a free resource on “Developing a Safety Team, A Biblical Approach to Church Safety”.  Over the next few months we plan on putting out more of these free resources to assist you in reviewing what you have done and what you can continue to do in protecting the flock.
 
Since our first Church Safety Conference in October of 2017 we have worked on bringing in speakers from all over the country to talk about relevant issues facing the church.  Our third conference this November 2nd, 2019 we will bring in another set of keynote speakers that promise to instill in you that you are doing God’s work.  Here are just two of our keynote speakers, Kevin Smith the Director of the DHS Center for Faith and Opportunity and Judy Workman, a survivor from the Sutherland Springs shooting who because of her training and faith in God was able to save multiple victims on that horrendous day.
 
Over the past three years we have touched over 450 churches across the United States.  This has been possible with the gracious funding provided by the churches for this training.  We have been all over the state of Florida, in North Carolina, Illinois, Iowa, South Carolina, Kentucky and Virginia.  We have made brief introductions to churches in Texas and Georgia with the understanding when funds are available we will be back. The church memberships and monies received from these trainings have kept Trinity Security Allies’ doors open with the accepting that this is not a get rich position but one of serving God.  Yet over the past few months, Wendy and I have seen the vision that we need to do more and in order to do more we have to come to you and talk about possible funding options.
 
In the book of James 4:13-15, James states “Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.  Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”. Wendy and I truly feel that “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”
 
We have been praying and the dream is to expand Trinity Security Allies over the United States.  In order to do that we need funding to help us travel to these states and hold seminars on how to protect the flock.  In our research we have found that 94% of the churches in the United States are under a 500 member congregation.  That over 59% of churches are under 100 in membership.  These churches deserve the training and understanding that protecting their flock comes from within and not with outside assistance.  They must rely on themselves when evil walks in their door until law enforcement can get there.  In the case of Sutherland Springs Texas shooting, after the shooter had left, over 15 minutes passed before the first responder got into the building.  We must provide this training no matter the size of the church to protect their flock. We are looking for individual and business donors who would sponsor a church so that we can provide the training necessary to protect their children’s ministry and those that come and worship from this fallen world.  We are looking for organizations that would be interested in helping us share this messages to those that cannot afford our training.  There should be no church left behind in this ministry. 
 
The world is changing and it is not for the good. Yes we know that God is in control but we have to protect His flock.  He has given us this responsibility to share this training and information and we need to reach out to help fund it.  Please pray on this and let us know your feelings on this.  Share this with businesses that are looking for ministries to work with. We can show them the need to continue to get the word out and their funding will go to a worthy cause, protecting Christ’s Bride all over the United States.
 
Wendy and I truly believe of our calling and we want to continue and we need your support. For those of you who have supported us so far in the journey you are on our heart and in our prayers every day thanking you for your support.  We continue to ask for your prayers and we know God has a plan. “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 Thank you for your support.
