THE FELLOWSHIP
OF CHRISTIAN PEACE
OFFICERS
(FCPO) is a ministry comprised
of Christian
men and women from all areas
of the
criminal justice system. By mid
1995,
there were more than 3500 members
affiliated
with over 60 active chapters in
the U.S.
Individually and through their chapters
they have
joined together for three purposes:
Support
of the accountability with Christian
officers
in their and other area agencies;
To
become more effective witnesses for
Christ
to those around them;
To
learn how to disciple and train others
to
carry out the Great Commission.
There
is a strong common bond shared
by those
in law enforcement, especially
those
who are Believers. We enjoy a
camaraderie
which cannot be imitated
by anyone
outside our unique profession.
Because
of this special relationship, we are
often
provided with opportunities to share our faith with colleagues "hard to
reach" by others in the Christian
community.
Through FCPO we are further "banded
together"
to share the Good News of Jesus Christ to
our peers
and fellow workers. Through the
discipleship
process,
FCPO members
teach
others how to integrate Christ and
Christian
principles into their work, daily
life and
relationships.
Just
think, you're here not by chance,
but
by God's choosing. His hand formed
you
and made you the person you are.
He
compares you to no one else -
you
are one of a kind. You lack nothing
that
His grace can't give you. He has
allowed
you to be here at this time in history
to
fulfill His special purpose for this generation.
