Gatekeepers Global Watch | Prayer Watch for Education System

HISTORY

Robb Elementary in Uvalde, TX – May 24, 2022 was a tragic moment in history, leaving an unhealed wound that claimed the lives of 19 precious children and two beloved teachers. In response to the shooting, Gina Marie Saddler founded "Gatekeepers Global Watch", a spiritual strike force dedicated to students' safety, welfare, and academic success while partnering with parents, educators, and community leaders to sustain this progress and ensure lasting impact.

Gina Marie and her leadership team have led prayer walks at over 120 schools—including district offices—and continue to hold prayer watches for students, educators, and city officials across Bexar County. Her commission, “Pray and Keep Watch at School Gates" is grounded in the following biblical verses.

Jeremiah 1:10 (ESV) – “See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms, to pluck up and to break down, to destroy and to overthrow, to build and to plant.”
Nehemiah 11:19 (ESV) – “The gatekeepers, Akkub, Talmon and their brothers, who kept watch at the gates, were 172.”

On August 11, 2023 we launched the “Not On Our Watch": Back2School Community Prayer.

On September 12, 2024 we held our first "Global Day of Prayer" for the Education System. Our covenant partners—parents, educators, community leaders, and prayer warriors gathered at school gates worldwide to ask God

to bless and protect students and those who work in education.

On October 7, 2024 we launched "Not On Our Watch" monthly prayer podcast and newsletter.
