The Adopt-A-Cop ministry is a prayer program.
It provides the opportunity for ALL law enforcement officers
EVERYWHERE
to be prayed for on a daily basis.
Are YOU signed up to pray for one?
The goal of Adopt-A-Cop is to assign law enforcement officers to a family, group, or individual who will pray daily for them and send a note of encouragement, support and a thank you for their service to the community.
Imagine the powerful difference you can make in the lives of those who put their lives on the line for us everyday! While a bulletproof vest gives a level of protection for our law enforcement officers, an even greater blessing and shield of protection can be found in the power of a faithful, praying believer or group of prayer warriors.
Besides the obviously high physical risk in their profession, officers also have a risk of becoming cynical, feeling hopeless, having relationship problems, succumbing to alcohol abuse and even becoming suicidal. The divorce and suicide rates among those in law enforcement are well above the national average.
“I urge then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be
made for everyone – for kings and for all those in authority that we may live
peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.” – 1 Timothy 2: 1-2 (NIV)

Praise God!
Adopt-a-Cop is growing rapidly. It is amazing to see God at work.
This ministry is now represented in 20 states.
It is with the hard work, dedication and prayers of those
involved that this ministry will continue to provide the protection our
Law Enforcement Officers need.

A personal note from
Michigan State Trooper Larry Rothman:
As a police officer, I know the importance of back up. Nothing is more comforting than hearing the sounds of a distant siren coming to help you regardless of the color of the uniform or department you work for.
As a Christian officer, I also know the importance of prayer. I feel it has been the prayers of my family and friends that have kept me safe not only physically but emotionally. Those prayers have also given me a heart for the people I have sworn to protect and serve.
It is comforting to know that I have people who are praying for me and my family every day I go out on the road.
God Bless and many thanks,
Trooper Larry Rothman
Michigan State Police
