We
are Ordinary Hard Working People Called To An Extraordinary
Ministry
Ecclesiastical endorsement and legal ministry
license and ordination
James
1:22
Do not deceive yourselves by just listening to his word; instead,
put it into practice. 23 If you listen
to the word, but do not put it into practice you are like people
who look in a mirror and see themselves as they are. What do you
see when you look into the mirror dear friends?
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 enior 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' guidence 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.
Chaplain
Fellowship is about the great commission. Do
you feel like you are being called to do something that will make
a difference, but you don't know where to start? I think that
maybe we have all felt that way at some time 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
11:25-31
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 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 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.
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 ordained chaplains themselves that have been there and
understand their pain, suffering, fears and disappointments.
For
all those who want to be a military chaplain, you must have a
Masters, there is no way around it period. If you want to work
in a hospital as a paid chaplain, you have to go through a CPE
program. If you are a crisis response chaplain who wants to deploy
to disaster areas, you will need CISM, CISD, Nims and other specialized
crisis training. For those who work as street chaplains you need
to be street wise, who better than those who have been there.
Many times in hospice chaplaincy it is an OJT type situation.
There are many different types of chaplaincy and ministries for
chaplains to serve in our Lord's ministry of presence with degrees
and without degrees. IT TAKES ALL OF US!
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.
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 chaplains we CAN do
something about we just need to get
out there and do it. All it takes is good people who have compassion,
mercy, kindness, love and understanding. If you don't want to
be an ordained chaplain or minister, that is fine, but 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.
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 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.
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?
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.
Isaiah
54:17
No instrument of war which is formed against you will be of any
use; and every tongue which says evil against you will be judged
false. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their
righteousness comes from me, says the 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.
Matthew
10:22
Jesus said "And you will be hated by all for My name's
sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved." Could
that be any clearer? He who endures to the end will be saved!
