HISTORY
Following the mass shooting at Robb Elementary in Uvalde, TX on May 24, 2022, Gatekeepers Global Watch, founded by Gina Marie Saddler, is a response to the tragic bloodshed—a strike force dedicated to the welfare and well-being of students and educators. This tragedy remains an unhealed wound, having taken the lives of 19 precious children and two beloved teachers.
In accordance with Jeremiah 1:10, the Lord gave Gina Marie a burden and strategic blueprint to "pray and keep watch”. Together with her husband and their son, they have anointed the grounds and dedicated 150 schools and district offices to the Lord with scheduled ongoing prayer.
From August 11 to September 2, 2023, Gina Marie launched “Not On Our Watch": Back2School online prayer.
On September 12, 2024, we held our first Global Day of Prayer for the education system. Our covenant partners—parents, educators, church and community leaders, and prayer warriors gathered at school gates worldwide to ask God for His blessings and protection for students and those who work in education.
We petitioned Texas Governor, Greg Abbot to proclaim the second Thursday in September of each year as a Global Day of Prayer for the Education System.

FOUNDER
Gina Marie Saddler
Gina Marie was raised in Compton, CA and anointed by the Lord at age 11 to pray and intercede for her family—three generations captive to drugs and a life of violence. He used her childhood experiences as a training ground to prepare her for ministry.
In 2006, she was licensed and ordained as a prophetic watchman to release the sound of prayer and empower spiritual gatekeepers through the Word of God. She exemplifies God's manifold grace in building and advancing ministry according to His will, way, and word.
She founded and oversees two nonprofits: Grace and Glory Empowerment Center and Gatekeepers Global Watch. Her empowerment center hosts prayer seminars and summits, tent revivals, and community enrichment programs.
As an itinerant conference speaker, she is dedicated to prayer and deliverance to snatch souls from spiritual captivity (Jude 1:23) and ministers the transforming Word of God to demonstrate the power of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:4-5).
In 2022, Gina Marie and her husband, Pastor Chris Saddler relocated to San Antonio, TX from San Diego, CA. They have a son, Gabriel Michael who partners with them in ministry.
