50 Reasons Christians Should be Prepping

I am in the process of launching a global communication system to respond to future natural disasters.

Recent events in Nepal and Tonga saw power and communications completely fail.

We are planning to be equipped to provide communications for search and rescue and humanitarian aid.

Early days...

Planning a non-profit and in dialogue with aid agencies.

Have background in Amateur Radio and Renewable Energy systems.

Today there are hundreds of thousands, if not millions of Christians who are "prepping" for an uncertain future. One poll states there are over 3 million preppers in the USA. I would suggest that the majority of these are Christians. Not "doomsday" preppers because as believers we know that there is not going to be a doomsday as such. We know Jesus is going to return, set up His glorious kingdom... and we rejoice! But we also know that as that wonderful day approaches, there will be much trouble and tribulation; both man made and natural.
I believe this forum would be positive and helpful to those believers who are in prepper mode. It would also serve to help convince other believers to begin prepping for that uncertain future.

I would say that prepping in general is a good idea.
I started in 2005 after joining the Army and learned that being more self reliant is far better than relying on our government regardless of who is in charge.

I'm a Christian prepper. I believe that if things continue on the course we're on it won't be long and we'll be living the Mad Max movies. We have an entire political party hell bent on destroying this country. I can see that. I definitely have Bibles. Not short on Bibles. I have medical supplies and survival gear. I have plenty of guns and ammo. But there are things I still need like a good easy to use water purifier. I'm also looking for a meat grinder that can pack up easy.

Now when planning out the worst case disaster scenario its not wise to go in by yourself. If you can, make friends and alliances with people whom you know you can trust with your life. Its hard to do but I have made many connections. So when things go down it is easier to survive as a group of people who all do their part to keep life going.

I feel sorry for those who think we're paranoid. Sadly, they will be the victims of America's fall. When this country falls its gonna fall hard! Mass die-offs will be the daily norm. People will be without much needed medication and its sad they will die. Crazies will be out everywhere and many people will lose all dignity just to eat food and will rob and kill others just to get the edge in survival instead of working together as good people trying to keep civilization from completely dying out.

Of course, the best way to prep is to vote Trump. Then nobody has to worry about prepping. As of right now, unless things change, I'm not throwing dice. I'm prepping and have been since Biden was elected in 2020. I knew right then and there that if things don't change for the better then this country is doomed.

My advice is to make prepping a group effort. I make connections all the time and the survival family is growing all the time. Trying to go in alone is real hard and not many survivalists can even do that for any length of time. You have hunters and gatherers, defense and soldiers, school for the youth. Everyone pulls their weight in a survival scenario.

Keep America alive by keeping yourself and the knowledge of this nation alive. I have enough knowledge in my library to jump start modern civilization if it ever collapses. The problem is how to take a library with you?? This is a problem I have not been able to work out yet. I hope by the time the country falls I'll be able to work out all the loose ends. I do believe the nation is gonna fall. I know Trump will win the 2024 election but there is also a very good chance the election might be rigged again. If that happens again the country will collapse and it will be a scary and frightening time for everyone. If we keep goiing on like this, the way things are now, all this prepping we do will not be in vain. It would be nice if it all were in vain. I could live with that. I just don't see a good outcome for this country.

Have Christians Ever Died In Calamities?

This would seem to be a odd argument to have to present. The fact that Christians have died in every sort of calamity would seem to be obvious. Yet there is an argument in the Christian community that would seem to deny this reality. From Political uprising to natural catastrophe, Christians have faired no better than any other group of humans. I will rehearse to you just a handful of events from history. I could dig up and present hundreds of like events where Christians, men women and children, have died in every sort of calamity imaginable. Let me reiterate, it is not my intention to bring fear into your heart. Perhaps a healthy amount of fear should be brought into your mind. You need to take this seriously on a logical and common sense level. You and your children could suffer greatly if you do not make common sense, logical preparations.
There are those who oppose preparing for these calamities. They will suggest that if you take steps to protect the health and welfare of your family you therefore lack faith. We have to ask these opponents of prepping if all the millions of Christians who have died in uprisings and calamity lacked faith? Do you think your faith is greater than the millions of believers who have died in every sort of natural and domestic calamity? Where are the masses of believers who testify to have been picked up out of fire and flood and saved? When the earthquake strikes killing thousands, where are the testimonies of crowds of Christians marching out of the ruins unscathed? Their houses are destroyed just like everyone else's. Are they all weak in faith? Some are killed. Are these believers without faith? Of course there are wonderful testimonies of God saving believers here and there. But when masses of humanity die in calamity, there is no evidence that all the faithful Christians are delivered.
I will contend that if they (and you) had prepared,THEY MIGHT HAVE SURVIVED!

You are spot on my friend. We think alike. Yes, there are a population of believers who think they are immune to horrible events. And to be honest, they drive me crazy to hear them talk. What it is, here in America, is that we've had it real good for a long time. Christians in this country don't understand horrible events. They don't think bad things happen to Christians. Now I know God answers prayer and does protect us. I'm always afraid of tornadoes and have yet to find a large enough caliber rifle to bring one down lol. So instead of trying to break up the wind tunnel of a tornado with a large caliber gun, I now pray for a passover and that is working real good. So prayer is a very good thing. However, we still live in a sinful fallen world where bad things happen to the best of Christians. When this country falls it will be the saddest day in our history. Those who did not prepare for the event will become victims in the Mad Max movies they will be living in. Even a percentage of us who did prep will be cut short. We are headed for some very dark times unless we can get Trump back into office in 2024 and that's if we have a fair election---and that's a Big IF.
