Having lived in West Africa off and on for many years you better believe they will attack us if they feel empowered. I have seen pastors murdered and villages wiped out. Please watch over your church like the Lord watches over His sheep.

Remember, David loved and trusted the Lord like no other. But, he still had to pick up and use that stone on Goliath. “Praise be to the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle" —Psalms 144:1

Everyone here should read "The Attack" by Kurt Schlicter. It is based on Oct 7. Today's shooting will not be just a "one off".....there will be others in the future. Our team went to a higher level as soon as we heard about the bombings on Saturday night.

I appreciate your break down and information. I use you security briefs for my personal use. I would love to work full time in this security field, until then, I protect what and where I can.

I'm working security at VBS all this week. The kids are on the front/only lawn by the road during play activities. The parking lots also are on either side of the lawn. Do you have any recommendations on doing my job? 81 kids, 20 staff members and me, so plenty of people.

If possible, Make a wall of parked Vehicle's around the play area so someone Can't Essentially smash through and murder the Children..

Thanks as always, Keith. I caught your video from last night this morning on my way out to church. I was thinking proactively already as a result of current events, but your video encouraged me even moreso. I saw the reports from Michigan as soon as our service was over and thought, "Keith really nailed it!" Stay safe!

It's important for your team to practice responding to all of this. And it might be good to do a planned, practice egress from the church at the end of a service.

Keith, you can be proud that subscribers take to heart your "teaching". Due to the bombings on Saturday night, I texted my entire team that they needed to remain welcoming but become even more vigilant in their role on Sunday morning. Lo and behold the shooting occurred just one hour north of us. I sent out the video even before you posted it and it is sad to think it really struck home. Thank you for being so concerned for the welfare of God's people.
