Testimonies from the streets
"Hi. This is a real blessing. I've been praying for something like this. Have gone 2 years without a vest but can't really afford one. Cost so much for all the other stuff. I will send a donation to your ministry if you can help me. God bless you and I use this job as a ministry. When I have you in custody it's a great time to share Jesus. "What you have done unto the least of these you have done unto me". I try to make sure they see Jesus in me. God has been good to me and protected me so far but maybe now I need extra help. Only God knows for sure. Thanks again so much. A brother in Christ."

"My wife is concerned for my safety and I can't afford a good vest. I hope you can help me. My family and I would not be able to thank you enough! There is about 5 other officers in are department that also need vest. I'm sending this request form to them. God bless you guys you. You guys are real life savers no pun intended!"

"As a reserve deputy and aviation officer, we offer our services (and aircraft and gas) free of charge to the citizens of our county, with no financial support from the county, and for no financial gain to ourselves. What a blessing that a ministry like yours can help us give back to our community and do so safely. God bless you and your congregation !! We are often called upon to go into the worse neighborhoods to supplement the certified deputies, and ballistic vests provide a tremendous measure of safety we would not otherwise have. For as often as we might find ourselves wearing them, very serviceable used vests are much better than no vest at all."
State of Michigan March 12, 2010
"As a Deputy Sheriff with the Road Patrol Division and a much needed request for myself as well as my brothers and sisters in my department, I ask for you to consider my request and perhaps my request on behalf of my fellow officers who are in need of vests as well. Thank you for you help. May God Bless you all for the good deed you are doing for Law Enforcement Officers!"
State of Georgia March 11, 2010
"I received my vest. I felt like a kid opening a present at Christmas once it arrived. The vest fits amazingly. Thank you all for what you do. You truly are amazing. Thanks you so much."
Officer Fried
State of Oklahoma March 7, 2010
"I received my vest today and I was very pleased with its "like new" appearance. It fits very well and I am very blessed to receive it. Thank you so much and God bless you and Ten Four Ministries. The other reserve officers on our force are excited about the possibility of obtaining their own vest. Thanks again."

"I received the best gift today, since the birth of my children. Thank you very much. I only wished that I could thank you in person and shake your hand. As you know I work for a small department (4 officers) that does not have the budget to supply vests. Again Thank You Very Very Much."

David February 19, 2010
"I am starting my career as a reserve officer. A vest would come in very handy, as I have already been shot once. I know the value of having a vest and I never want to be caught without one. Even if I don't receive a vest, I want to thank you for all that you do for the peace keepers of the world."
Officer
State of Oklahoma February 10, 2010
"I received the vest today, it is a beautiful thing to have such a nice and newer piece of equipment such as the vest you provided me with. I will always be grateful for you and your church's generosity. Everyday when I put it on, I will always remember you and go out into the community feeling as if I am wearing the armor of God."
Deputy
State of Washington January 15, 2010
"I work for a small department - I have been a patrol deputy for 1 1/2 years - my department doesn't have the funds to get each patrol deputy a vest - at this time I have a vest that is to big for me and is around 20 years old. Any help with a vest would be great."
