Romans
13:1-2
Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there
is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are
appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists
the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will
bring judgment on themselves.

Fellowship Ministries International is committed to planting ministries,
outreach missions and chaplaincy programs worldwide. Members who
are senior or master chaplains in good standing for a period of
no less than 12 months may apply to become an affiliate subordinate
ministry. Members requesting to be covered must have a real existing
physical ministry, not a Internet ministry or church. Contrary to
what many may tell you becoming a 501 (c) 3 tax exempt public charity
is not easy to obtain. Please understand, becoming an an affiliate
subordinate ministry is a privilege, not an automatic right of membership.
No member or ministry will be covered unless they meet the established
requirements and standards of the board of directors of Chaplain
Fellowship Ministries and be in compliance with the rules, regulations
and guidelines established by the Internal Revenue Service governing
501 (c) 3 tax exempt public charities. There
will be no exceptions!
