Well, with God’s help we did it!
Sunday afternoon (May 26th), our team of about 50 riders rode two by two into the Texas Peace Officers Memorial in Austin. The team was made up of Texas peace officers, officers’ family members, as well as the widows and family members of fallen officers. One by one the riders stepped to the microphone and read the name of a fallen Peace Officer they had ridden 150 miles to remember and honor. Cindy and I read the name of Officer Jacob Candanoza, a Terrell Police officer. The end of his watch was December 8, 2024. He was only 28 years old, leaving behind a wife and a very young daughter.
We are so very grateful to all those who helped to cover the cost of the Texas Peace Officer’s Memorial Ride and gave generously to raise funds for the support of fallen officer’s families. Thanks to a host of prayer partners, we had perfect weather and experienced one open door after another to provide effective ministry to peace officers, their family members and those of the fallen!
