    Jael Women’s Self Defense
    November 14, 2025 (9:00am - 3:00pm)

    The Jael Women’s Self-Defense course is a bold response to real threats women face today. With expert instruction and biblical purpose, this training empowers women and teen girls to be vigilant, confident, and capable—spiritually and physically prepared to protect themselves and others.


    Cost: Because we are deeply committed to equipping women with the tools they need for safety and confidence, we offer this training at no cost. Our goal is to make this vital instruction accessible to as many as possible. While similar courses can cost upwards of $500 per person, we believe every woman should have the opportunity to be prepared—regardless of finances. If you feel led, donations of any amount are welcome and help us continue this mission of empowering women to protect themselves and their children from harm.

    Church Security Training
    November 15, 2025 (9:00am - 4:00pm)

    Operation Mordecai’s Church Security Training equips teams to proactively guard their congregations with wisdom, skill, and spiritual discernment. In this intensive one-day seminar, your team will learn proven strategies to keep your church safe while maintaining a posture of ministry and compassion.


    1. We cover “soft skills” such as situational awareness and interacting with potential concerns as well as “hard skills” such effective restraining and controlling techniques.
    2. We review advanced concepts such as Left of Bang and predatory behavior.
    3. We include live scenario training where we take a crawl, walk, run approach to dealing with threats to the congregation in the church environment.
    4. We offer nationally recognized USCCA certified training in Concealed Carry and Self Defense as well as Countering the Mass Shooter Threat.



    Cost: Because we’re committed to helping churches strengthen their safety and confidence, we offer this training at no cost. Our goal is to make vital instruction accessible to every church, regardless of finances. We simply ask that churches cover travel expenses, consider a love offering to support our mission, and allow us to share the vision of Operation Mordecai with your congregation.
