Throughout Scripture we see moments where men and women were called to face their giants. Individuals who were called into scary, hard situations and they didn’t necessarily know what the outcome would ultimately be? But they were obedient and courageous. They set the example for us to understand the calling and the cost of risking everything for the sake of Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our first responders set this same example. Seeing the threat or evil and respond by running towards it for the sake of others. Responders are a gift. Whether is it the police, firefighters, EMS workers or dispatch answering the phone, responders are trained to respond and fix.

Jesus set the highest example of what it means to be a first responder. Whether it was connecting in His community and building relationships with people or meeting a need, Jesus was present and noticeable, but also so humble about His position of authority. In times of confusion and desperation, Jesus showed up and He fixed major problems as well as small ones. He didn’t panic or worry that He couldn’t handle the issue at hand. He was present, calm, and assuring. What an incredible gift to bring to someone who is in distress!

We are blessed to have men and women who have responded to the call and serve daily. It matters that these individuals know Jesus and receive the comfort and care to continue fighting for you and I. Our time here on Earth is short. We are not promised tomorrow. Operation Guardian Group is passionate about the hearts, minds, and souls of these brave individuals we see every day.
