The CBPOA and Prayer
Arguably, no group believes in and needs PRAYER more than Peace Officers in our area, and across our great Nation.
As we commune with God our Father daily, please intercede for the following men who are battling difficult days and need our continued support:
Ed Becka, Live Oak County
Fidel Gonzales, Karnes County
Pinky Gonzales, Refugio County
Only God knows what each of us praying daily for these and others will mean in their lives!
T. Wayne Price, Chaplain
Pastor T. Wayne Price
In addition to being the Chaplain of the CBPOA, Pastor Price is also the Pastor of the First Baptist Church of Refugio.
