The World Games Was a Success!
Not only did the World Games bring thousands of international athletes and guests to the Magic City, but it also gave Blue Watch an opportunity to thank the hundreds of officers that kept them safe.
During the games, Blue Watch provided care bags to nearly 300 officers, many who traveled from across the state to assist in the effort. Each bag contained snacks, personal care items and a copy of the book “Alive” written by J. Warner Wallace. Wallace, a retired Los Angeles Police cold-case homicide detective, examines Jesus’ resurrection applying the same methods used to examine the evidence as in a homicide case.
A special thanks to volunteers from Greater Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church and Shades Mountain Baptist Church for preparing the bags. Without you we could not have done it.

A Blue Watch quer que os agentes tenham uma mente clara e um coração inteiro. No nosso sítio Web, disponibilizamos recursos que acreditamos que os ajudarão. Atualmente, oferecemos os seguintes livros:
- "Winning A Gunfight... assegurar a vitória de forma ética, mental e tática num tiroteio": Ganhar um tiroteio é muito mais do que apenas sobreviver fisicamente. A maioria dos que estão em tiroteios sobrevivem mas podem não ganhar. Saiba a diferença e como pode sobreviver e ganhar.
- "O suicídio não é uma opção": Each year 2.5-3 times more officers take their own life than are murdered in the line of duty. Despite the efforts of many, the suicide rate amongst law enforcement officers continues to rise. Retired police sergeant and author, Tim Rupp explores the spiritual aspects and argues there is meaning to life beyond the individual.
- Estudo Bíblico "Viver com Coragem": This is a four-session bible Study designed to challenge you to live courageously for the sake of your family. Based upon the movie “Courageous” session topics include fighting for your family, valuing what matters most, impacting future generations and standing for Christ.
Para encomendar o seu livro GRATUITO, visite o nosso Página de oferta de livros e diga-nos qual o livro que gostaria de ter!
Depois de lerem o livro, partilhem connosco as vossas opiniões, boas ou más, e esperamos que passem o livro a um colega agente.
