New Website Launched: "Cops For Christ"

We have recently launched our newest website, Cops For Christ. It features our videos that are mainly evangelistic in nature.

Why would we launch this site?

Several years ago I was surprised to find the domain, Cops For Christ, available for purchase. It is a common name that many are familiar with so I bought the name for about $8. I kept it for sometime and not sure what to do with it until I decided to point it to a ministry called Ten-Four Ministries, directed by Tony Miano.

I was eventually asked to take over that ministry and when I did, I noticed a lot of website hits from the name, "Cops For Christ." That little $8 investment seemed to be taking a lot of folks to the ministry and thinking some of them weren't saved, I decided to develop a new site with evangelism in mind.

We pray that Cops For Christ will help send the message of the Gospel & God will use it to save souls.

Mission Alabama: Hackleburg Police

A few weeks ago, we advised you of our attempts to help out first responders that were affected by the tornadoes in the south. I will admit that when we began that communication to you, I was unsure where we would end up or whether it was God's Will for us to go to the area. We were quickly told of specific locations with needs and specific officer names with needs.

When we told you of the needs, you gave and your generosity was unbelievable. You enabled us to go to several areas and you specifically helped us give an entire police department vests, leather gear, uniforms and financial assistance. When we got to Hackleburg, Alabama we knew that this was where we were called to be.

Our team met the Hackleburg Police Chief (middle) and asked him what he and his agency needed. When Chief Hallmark found out we were there for them, he got very emotional. Over 10% of his population had been killed, just a few businesses (tax base) remained and the community that he patrols and loves was literally gone. The needs were tremendous and because of your generosity we were able to help him.

The devastation I saw was like nothing I had seen in 18 years of law enforcement. I was at the Bombing Site in Oklahoma City in 1995 and I can tell you that what I saw from this EF5 Tornado was absolutely unbelieveable.

As you can see from this photo (above), any projectile would prove deadly and unfortunately on the day we were there, additional bodies were located.


On Day two, our team met with the head of Homeland Security-Alabama. There is much more work to be done in Hackleburg and we have told the Chief we will do whatever he needs in the future.

Hope For Alabama

Ten-Four Ministries Chaplain & Pastor Phillip Skipworth discusses where the only hope can be found in the midst of tragedy such as the tornado devastation that he is in.

Bringing Relief to Hackleburg (AL) Police

I just returned from Northern Alabama and through the assistance of many supporters, we were able to provide funds, equipment ad uniforms to law enforcement affected by the massive destruction left by EF5 Tornadoes a few weeks ago.

There is much more to say and show but for now here are two videos of our trip.

Mission Alabama: Tornado Tragedy

The tragedy of last week's tornado outbreak in the south has been well documented in the media and our ministry feels a call to the area. We did not know in what capacity 24 hours ago when we placed an e-mail out to those signed up for our e-newsletter but it appears that we now are being led to a specific area to help specific individuals.

While in the days to come, tremendous resources will be given to those in need, there is a group that are often forgotten. In general, those in this tragedy are able to focus on clean up, rebuilding, healing and at times mourning. For the first responders that are working in the area, they too often do not have time to do the things that others can do. Despite the urgent need to tend to family, etc. they have another mission...tending to the citizens in their community.

There are three specific communities that continue to be brought to our attention by multiple sources in the last 24 hours. In each city, multiple officers have lost property, police/fire agencies have been destroyed and equipment is damaged or detroyed.

Phil Cambell & Hackleburg, Alabama and Smithville, Mississippi.

We have gathered most of the names of the officers in each agency and the needs are tremendous. In fact, we were told today that "any help" is needed. While in due time, homes will be replaced and biils reimbursed, what is needed now are immediate resources for food, clothing, etc. We will also be providing emotional support and more importantly hope in Jesus Christ.

In the short term, we will be on the ground within a week but we will be talking with officials there to be able to provide more long term assistance so that the first responders can be given time to tend to their homes and family.

The devastation is hard to fathom and I spoke to officers in the area today and they told me that what they are seeing cannot be described. Entire towns are gone and in the case of Hackleburg, approximately 15% of the population is dead.

There will be plenty of opportunities from various organizations to donate during this time and we would like you to do that very thing. We would also like you to pray & consider donating to our ministry. All of the funds given will be used to provide resources directly to first responders in need. The officers going with us to help will use their own funds to do so....Your donation will be used in whole towards helping a first responder directly.

In one week, we will be in the area providing assistance. Online donations of any amount can help.

There will be much more on this issue in the days to come. We encourage you to follow us on Facebook as we will be reporting from the area.
