January 9 marked National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. The Billy Graham Library gave each officer who stopped by a free copy of Words of Wisdom, a journey through Psalms and Proverbs.
Officers also received a free meal in the Graham Brothers Dairy Bar and a discount at Ruth's Attic bookstore.
The calling of law enforcement is a tough one. The Billy Graham Rapid Response Team holds many events for police officers and their spouses through its National Law Enforcement Ministry, offering respite, encouragement and Biblical direction. More events are planned for this year across the nation. The next retreat will be held in Texas in late March.
Many who work at the Billy Graham Library and Billy Graham Evangelistic Association are former law enforcement.
Will you take a minute now to pray for your local law enforcement? Pray for God's guidance in their lives, for their protection and a renewed commitment to serve their communities well.
