Every Jackson Cop in Prayer Protection Program
JACKSON, MI February 2, 2009 – It is official; someone or some group is now praying for every single law enforcement officer in Jackson County. Originally started in October of 2007, the Adopt-a-Cop Prayer Protection Program reached its goal on Sunday, February 1, 2009, only 16.5 months later, when the members of First Church of the Nazarene eagerly adopted the last 65 of the 273 police officers serving Jackson County. “This is amazing to realize that every city, state, county and township police officer is now covered in prayer,” says State Trooper Larry Rothman, the officer that started the program. “And that means their spouses and families are covered also. This is serious. Jackson County is well on its way of being better protected and transformed.”
The Adopt-a-Cop program was launched at the first New Jackson county-wide praise and prayer event, held October 20, 2007, at The Assembly in downtown Jackson. Since then Trooper Larry has visited many organizations, families, and churches in Jackson County to present the need. “Residents from all over the county and from several area churches took it upon themselves to pray for the police officers in Jackson County. Because of their dedication to God, and the belief that prayer can make a difference, they have now adopted every law officer in our county.”
Trooper Rothman firmly believes that God has used the Adopt-a-Cop program not only to pray for the law enforcement officers but also to build a stronger relationship between the community and area churches. Approximately 60 Jackson County churches have joined forces with the Adopt-a-Cop ministry. Adopt-a-Cop has also joined forces with Together We Can Make a Difference, Transformation Michigan, and several area organizations to start the New Jackson movement where churches, businesses and other organizations come together in unity to help transform Jackson County into an even better place to live.
The Adopt-a-Cop program is now spreading throughout Michigan. Trooper Rothman has set up a helpful website linking all Michigan Adopt-a-Cop programs together. If a county does not have a similar program he is offering instructions, forms, flyers and personal guidance to anyone that wants to start an Adopt-a-Cop prayer protection program in their own county. “I was not the first one to start a program of this nature. There are a few of them scattered throughout the United States. God led me to do this in Jackson at this time. He has shown me the urgent need and also the results from doing it.” Trooper Rothman says he has evidence. “I have personally seen and witnessed many positive results of officers being blessed, protected and better united with their families. The amount of violence and negative junk they see every day in their jobs goes home with them. This program protects them on-the-job and at home, their safe haven.” If you are interested in finding out more about the Jackson Adopt-a-Cop program visit Trooper Rothman’s website at www.Adopt-a-Cop.org
