Psalm 94:16 "Who rises up for me against the wicked? Who stands up for me against evildoers?"
At Sheepdog Security Ministry, we provide services to the Christian Community to assist them in preparing to resist violence in their communities. Whether it be in their churches, their schools or in their daily life, Christian communities need a resource to train them, help them plan for and respond to the violence that is welling up in the world against them. We want all Christians to live without fear; To have the answer to the question swimming around in every Christian's heart; "What would I do?" If you want to prepare your school, your church or your family to prevent, detect and respond to violence, we can help.

Individuals may also sponsor Sheepdog Academy. If you would like to see our services made available to a  church or school, then sponsor Sheepdog Academy students! Those funds will support our Ministry efforts at churches and schools.

When a person, school or shurch become a sponsor of Sheepdog Academy, they are not only assisting our students to pay for classes, they are then also ensuring that Sheepdog Security Ministry services remain available to other churches and schools.

 

Sheepdog Security Ministry wants its services to be provided to all who need it.

We provide physical defense training to individuals for a fee. We then use those fees to support our ministry to schools and churches.

We do not ask the schools and churches to pay a particular fee for our services, but we do ask them (when they can) to provide donations to our organization or to become sponsors for Sheepdog Academy. Those "sponsorships" become scholarships for potential Sheepdog Academy graduates!

When a church or school asks us to come and provide our services, assisting them in preparing to deal with disruptive or violent events at their facilities, We do this for free. It is a Ministry. If that church or school has the financial ability and wishes to support Sheepdog Security Ministry, we accept "Sponsorship" as a donation. The funds we receive as sponsorship go directly to pay for Sheepdog Academy physical skills students who cannot afford the fee and the organization who provided the sponsorship is named as their sponsor. 

Individuals may also sponsor Sheepdog Academy. If you would like to see our services made available to a  church or school, then sponsor Sheepdog Academy students! Those funds will support our Ministry efforts at churches and schools.

When a person, school or church become a sponsor of Sheepdog Academy, they are not only assisting our students to pay for classes, they are then also ensuring that Sheepdog Security Ministry services remain available to other churches and schools.

Sponsors and attendees will know each other's names and know who made their training possible. In this way, we create a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Students unable to pay for services at Sheepdog Academy will be offered the opportunity to apply for a scholarship. If we use your funds to fund that student's courses, we will let them know that they were sponsored by you (or by whomever you wish to donate the funds in name of.)

If you want to become a sponsor, please Click here for more information or contact us by phone or email.

    SSM Testimonials from our Defense Courses for Women

    • “This was a really great class to come to and experience! It probably has been the best Christmas gift ever! A lot of the material really did confirm and answer a lot of questions I had. It was so awesome to figure out how to use some or all of our womanly advantages in situations! I definitely feel more prepared if a situation ever comes up.”
      Women's Defense Course Attendee (from Course Evaluations)
    • Mr. Lorne Curl provides an excellent, professional, thorough, practical and instructive seminar for women. After the first three hour session I discovered that I had developed confidence in my ability to know how and when to act in cases of real or perceived physical threats. Having completed the six hour seminar I have a clear understanding of my responsibilities to myself and others in self-protection, and how to engage effectively in self-protective actions whether close to home, or in an unfamiliar location. Today, this is a necessary (and potentially life-saving) course of instruction for all women engaged in the modern world. (Please read Lorne’s bio to learn about his outstanding qualifications for this work.)

    • “Be who you are called to be, and you will set the world on fire” This is, of course, the famous quote of St. Catherine of Sienna. These are words that every Christian parent longs for their children to wholeheartedly implement in their lives. But sometimes, in our desire for the safety of those we love, we “hamstring” them, by curtailing the opportunities to effect change, because we see the all-to-real dangers. Changing the world isn’t supposed to be safe - this is a battleground after all. However, after working with Lorne Curl, I know it doesn’t have to be (and shouldn’t be) unnecessarily dangerous either. Approaching instruction in personal security and self-defense within the perfect framework of the Catholic Church’s teachings regarding the dignity of every human being and our call to be soldiers for Christ, Mr. Curl gives practical, effective and yes, fun instruction. (I’m not kidding, it is seriously fun to work on personal safety with Mr. Curl).

    • To be honest, when my parents recently and strongly “suggested”/insisted that I take some concentrated private lessons with Mr. Curl before moving to New York City, I was apprehensive. Besides being very short of time, I thought I would likely humiliate myself with ineptitude. Furthermore I wasn’t eager to think about, must less discuss the issues surrounding safety (particularly, female safety) with a family friend. I need not have worried. Mr. Curl, a father of four, two of whom are, like myself, young adult women, is passionate about the protection of his family, and teaching as many as possible how to have the best chance of protection of self and others. Not only did I feel entirely comfortable learning with Mr. Curl and discussing those issues but I really did have fun. If you have the opportunity to train with Mr. Curl, jump at it. I hope that someday Mr. Curl will be able to teach his courses throughout the country so many more men and women will have the practical tools to promote the safety and dignity of themselves and those around them, and thus not have to succumb to fear, which frees us to better be able to
