National Memorial for Four Fallen RCMP Officers

“Peter told me a year ago: ‘Dad, if something ever happens to me, I want people to hear about Jesus and to hear about hope.' Constable Peter Schiemann, my son, I carried out your wish this afternoon … Peter, we will see you in heaven. But we can hardly wait.”

Peter was one of the four RCMP Officers killed last week in the tradegy that has struck Canada.

His father got up in front of an audience of hundreds tonight, on national television, and told everyone that through Jesus Christ we have hope. Although no one can fully understand the pain and loss that they are experiencing right now...God can..because he also lost a son. He gave the world Jesus, and through him, we can have hope. And it's this hope that will get him through the loss of his son. And it's hope that lets him know that he'll see his son again some day....

Praise the Lord that through this horrific event God's name is being called out, and people are seeking Him.

Continue to keep the family of the four officers in your prayers as they struggle to understand and get through these difficult times.
