THE
CHOICES YOU MAKE NOW WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR ETERNITY
John
14:12
-13 - I tell you the
truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have
done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the
Father. You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it,
so that the Son can bring glory to the Father.
From
the beginning, the spread of the Gospel was a lay movement. Men
like Peter and John were untrained fishermen. The majority of
ministry and missionary activity in the early Church and Ministry
was accomplished by non-professionals, ordinary men and women
involved in secular work as occupations. Jesus entrusted the laity
"ordinary people" with major responsibilities of spreading
the Gospel. Taking fishermen from their boats, He made them into
fishers of men. Jesus knew that ordinary people WOULD become extraordinary
when empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Life experiences are vital and very important in the life of a
chaplain and will always be taken into consideration. For that
reason Chaplain Fellowship places a lot of value on life experiences.
As
a ministry of presence we understand that the Lord ordains, we
simply recognizes what He has already done. We provide our members
with the legal documentation and credentials needed to satisfy
the laws and requirement of the public at large. Members of Chaplain
Fellowship Ministries receive their ordination, license and certifications
as a benefit of membership in accordance with their qualifications
and experience. Members are ordained and licensed as nondenominational
chaplains and ministers!
