A Wake-Up Call for Church Security: Spread the Word
In just one week, three alarming incidents underscored the growing threats to our churches. A Southern California church disrupted a pre-attack probe by suspects, one of whom was later identified as connected to the Taliban in Nuristan, Afghanistan, a region notorious for harboring al-Qaeda training camps. Shortly after, a Virginia church reported similar surveillance activity, and an Alabama church disclosed a related incident—all within days of each other. These events emphasize the reality that threats are closer than we think, and our vigilance can make all the difference.
The information shared here played a vital role in connecting these incidents, providing actionable intelligence to protect churches nationwide. This is the power of staying informed and united. I ask you to click the “Share Christian Warrior Training” button below and share it with the Christian men and women in your life who care about church safety. Together, we can spread awareness and equip others to safeguard their congregations.

Thank you for the updates Keith! Our team here in central VA is taking this information seriously. We have also been briefed by our local law enforcement to be on the alert for same issues we are discussing here. We also have heard (unconfirmed at this time) this morning that we have had a similar pre attack surveillance here in the counties surrounding Richmond VA. I'll pass any info along as we can confirm it!
P.S. I agree with Keith, now is not the time for clown faces and negative discord amongst our Christian Family. We need each other more than ever to fulfill the job that God has tasked us with. Which is to protect His flock so the Gospel can be preached! I offer prayers up for everyone's safety and affective action as we navigate these threats. Stay Vigilant!
Peace, Hope and Love- Your brother in Christ, John B.
