BEAUMONT — If you have a gun, you could receive a $100 gift card from a group of churches and community leaders teaming up to stop violence in Beaumont.

Pastors John Adolph and Randy Feldschau developed a program called "Not in My City" last summer in response to violence against officers.

Following four homicides in Beaumont in June alone, the program is trying to stop violence here through a gun "buy back" program.

A meeting about the gun buy back program will be held Monday at 11 a.m. at the Cathedral Church, off Eastex.

They're in the process of choosing an upcoming Friday, where they'll be stationed around Beaumont anonymously collecting guns, with the help of the Beaumont Police Department.

Those who turn in a working gun will receive a $100 gift card. The program has already received support from elected officials.

"We are aware of the fact that it will not eradicate gun violence in our city or county," says Adolph. "That's not the aim or ambition. The aim is to erase the mindset that's pushing it. To stand against it in unity to say 'Wait a minute this is killing us, and hurting us, it's not helping us.'"

The program has already received some support from elected officials.

"Most criminals are not going to be the ones to go in and turn in their hand gun," says Beaumont City Council member Audwin Samuel. "But it's a start.

"It does nothing - but it makes us feel better."

"But it's a start."
Lame-O comment. It's not even an Intro.

Pastors replacing Christ for the agenda of man.

Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
