Ordinary People Called To An Extraordinary Ministry of Presence
Ecclesiastical endorsement legal ministry license ordination and Chaplaincy Training

Romans 12:1-4-8 Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith. If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.

We would like to welcome you to the official web site of Chaplain Fellowship Ministries International. The members of Chaplain Fellowship Ministries are ordained as nondenominational ministers and chaplains by our ordaining body of senior chaplains. We are a one of a kind ministry of presence with members and affiliate ministries worldwide. We come from all faith groups, ethnic, gender and educational backgrounds, Chaplain Fellowship with the Lords' guidance has been molded and shaped after the Ministry of Jesus and we are growing by leaps and bounds every day folks. We are looking for real people who are serious about their calling. The members of Chaplain Fellowship Ministries are very real hard working people with the heart and compassion to reach out to the needy and lost all over the United States and around the world.

James 1:12 Happy are those who remain faithful under trials, because when they succeed in passing such a test, they will receive as their reward the life which God has promised to those who love him.

Chaplain Fellowship is about the Great Commission. Do you feel like you are being called to do something that will make a difference in life, but you don't know where to start? I think that maybe we have all felt that call at some point in our lives. Becoming ordained as a Chaplain and Minister will take you far beyond your wildest imagination, and it will make you a much larger person in the spirit of the Lord, than you ever dreamed you could be. As Chaplains and Ministers if we see someone in need and have the ability to help them and don't, how can we say that the love of Jesus abides in us? Never forget that what we go after here on earth, determines where we go in the hereafter. We make a living from what we get, but we make a life from what we give. Anyone can give without loving, but no one can love without giving.

Proverbs 11:25 Be generous, and you will be prosperous. Help others, and you will be helped. Those who are good are rewarded here on earth, so you can be sure that wicked and sinful people will be punished.

Chaplain Fellowship Ministries is internationally recognized as a faith based nondenominational ministry of presence that offers everyone including the every day hard working man or woman an opportunity to serve in the position of an ordained Chaplain and Minister through specific ministry programs. Chaplain Fellowship offers ordination, ecclesiastical endorsements and certifications in your chosen field of ministry, thereby, allowing anyone who feels God has called them to be able to minister at some level as a ordained Chaplain and Minister. Our Mission is to ordain, qualify, equip, offer training and to officially recognize those seeking legal ministry license, ordination, endorsement and certification documentation as ministers, pastors, priests and chaplains.

We know by building and strengthening our communities and proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus to the world at large we are doing what He has called us to do. Jesus has poured out His Spirit upon us, we are to help the lost who are seeking salvation, we are to help those seeking healing for the spirit soul and body with the anointing that rests upon each of us in the name of Jesus.

James 1:27 What God the Father considers to be pure and genuine religion is this: to take care of orphans and widows in their suffering and to keep oneself from being corrupted by the world.

Chaplain Fellowship Ministries is an outreach ministry of presence dedicated to recruiting those who have been called into the Lord's ministry. Chaplain Fellowship Ministries will not judge you, belittle you or criticize you for your past. Please understand it takes all of us to get the job done, just as Jesus recruited many from different backgrounds including educational. It does not take a college graduate to walk into a biker bar full of 1%ers, it takes a biker who has been there, it takes a hard-core ordained biker Chaplain. Nursing home chaplaincy or ministry takes a chaplain who is ordained and has compassion, love and understanding, it takes those who have the love of Jesus in their hearts. It requires someone who knows how to listen, and many times someone to just be there with them when they are dying, the thought of dying alone is very scary for senior citizens. Who better to work with our returning troops or veterans of other wars than veteran who are chaplains themselves that have been there and understand their pain, suffering, fears and disappointments.

Psalm 41:1-3 Blessed is he who considers the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive, and he will be blessed on the earth; He will not deliver him to the will of his enemies. The Lord will strengthen him on his bed of illness; He will sustain him on his sickbed.

Our Lord wants to transform our corrupted nature into divine nature. When we repent and sincerely want to change, He takes a "piece" of Himself, His Spirit, His unselfish nature, His mind, His pure love and places that inside our minds to change how we think and feel.

The picture on the right is a very real person and the best example we have to prove the need for nursing home Chaplains, no one should ever be treated this way. When Chaplains make regular visits to nursing homes, it cuts down on this type of mistreatment. Not all nursing homes have this type of abuse, but there are many that do. This little lady is a child of God, and there is no doubt that there is a special place in Heaven for her. This type of abuse is a disgrace and we should all be ashamed to allow such treatment of our senior citizen. As legally ordained Chaplains we CAN make a difference in this world, we just need to get out there and do it. All it takes is good hearted people who have compassion, mercy, kindness, love and understanding. If you don't want to be a legally ordained chaplain or minister, please just do something in your life to make a difference in the lives of those who are hurting, suffering, lost everything or have nothing and no where to turn. Folks it is up to us!

James 2:13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. Does anyone not want a merciful judgment from God, before whom all must stand?

When you begin your work as an ordained chaplain and minister you can be confident that the Lord who has already started a good work in you, will complete it. Please never let anyone tell you that you are not good enough for the Lord's ministry, or that the Lord has not called you into ministry. There is no human being on this earth who has the right to judge who has or have not been called. We all need Jesus as our Lord and Savior in our everyday lives. He is the one who can lift us above the degrading forces of evil in the world that tries to tell us we are not good enough. It is Jesus who holds all things together, including our lives. Become a member and receive your God given right to ordination and license as a legal member of the clergy. Take a leap of faith, and watch your whole world, and the way you see thing, literally transform before your very eyes.

Galatians 1:6-9; 3:1 Spiritual enemies also include false teachers. We must be extremely cautious about whom we listen to. Never let anyone tell you that you are not good enough, or smart enough, to follow the Lords' calling in your lives.

Those Who Share In His Suffering Shall Also Share In His Glory! We believe all Christians have been given spiritual gifts to fulfill their callings. Ministry ordination is a spiritual gift and calling directly from God and is not to be taken lightly. He chooses to call who he will, or to use any instrument, to accomplish His will. Jesus said, I will build My church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. Never let any man or woman stop you from doing what you have been called to do. When you act upon your calling, you then become a member of HIS Ministry.

As Chaplains the compassion, mercy, understanding and love we show for those in need will be the only bible many will every get a chance to see. A wise man once said that our decisions determine our direction, and our direction determines our destiny. Let your direction be true, and let your destiny be one of greatness for the glory of God's kingdom. No one knows when Jesus will return, maybe it will be today or maybe in a 1000 years. His return is something we have no control over. The only control we have in this life is this moment in time, so let us live every moment as if it is our last, for the glory of His kingdom.

Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Chaplains are ministers called to serve God's people as commissioned by the sacred Word of God. In Christian grace and duty Chaplains respond with love and compassion to people's needs in their whole existence. Chaplains embrace the understanding that human beings are created in the image of God with uniqueness and freedom to think, act and feel. When we do our best, the word of God is true, He will do the rest.

With our Lord and Savior beside us we go into each day as we are, just as our Lord went into each day ready to serve, to seek and to save those who are lost; to look for opportunity to love and to heal. With our Lord and Savior beside us we can love just as we are, unconditionally, without regard for ourselves sacrificially and without hesitation. By seeking our Lord and Savior fully, honestly and humbly, we can go through each day, just as we are.

Galatians 6:9-10 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith [fellow believers]".

Matthew 7:15 Many have come preaching Christ for personal gain. Some have come to devour the very people they are trying to reach, all in the name of Christ. Jesus warned us folks, Don't let anyone stop you from following your calling.

Someone once told me that if you give a man a fish, you feed him for one day, but if you teach him to fish, you feed him for a lifetime. God carries out His plan through those obedient to Him in spite of their human frailties. Thank you! Chaplain Gibson
