About Me


My World Visitor Map!
SWAT Ministries of Central Pennsylvania was established on July 1, 2006 by a group of men and women who responded to the call of God. Lebanon County is hurting and God put us right in the middle of it. Drugs, like heroin and crack cocaine, are like a cancer. Gang activity is on the rise. Broken marriages and wrecked families are all too common. This is where God has placed us to invade the darkness with His glorious light.We are actively involved with Reach Workcamps (www.reachwc.org) and are planning a trip to Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio in July 2008 for a week of service to the people of that community.God has recently blessed us with opportunities for new ministry to teens in Loysville Youth Development Center and elderly residents at Manor Care nursing home in Lebanon. God is moving so get on board!If you have a prayer need, please message us here. We love you and we want to support you! All requests are kept confidential unless we are specifically instructed otherwise.

Prayer and Singing Scottish Folk Songs
