Inhaltsangabe

Good Christian leadership will already have thought about numerous risks and have in place policies and procedures to reduce dangers and deal with any problems that might arise. Pray & Protect builds on the good practice of your church or ministry, but focuses on one specific aspect of care and protection; guarding against violent attack of any type. It should be emphasised that this issue is not approached with a spirit of fear or hostility, but with prayer and a response of Christ-like love.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Good Christian leadership will already have thought about a number of risks and have in place policies and procedures to reduce dangers, protect the ministry, mitigate damage if anything does happen, prepare responses and be prepared for a rapid recovery in the worst scenario. You may have insurance, fire extinguishers, child protection policies, trained ushers or stewards and some contact with local police and security services. These measures are wise and are taken for the care of people and property.Pray & Protect aims to build on the good practice of churches and ministries around the world in contexts of hostility and persecution. It focuses on a number of threats and risks, and suggests ways to make the ministry more secure and safer for staff and those you serve. It should be emphasised that these issues should not be approached with in a spirit of fear or hostility to any enemies, but firstly with prayer and then with a response of Christ-like love. Pray & Protect offers a guide to issues to consider, risks to analyse, and how to work, with others, to take protective measures. It may help you deal with challenges that arise or incidents that occur, and will help you assist those impacted by attacks or needing support.“Please put security measures in place. Do not get caught thinking that this only happens in other places, in big places.”Pastor John Johnson III, Corinth Missionary Baptist Church, Bullard, Texas, USA
