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. We are a very real hard core one
of a kind ministry of presence, with over four hundred and fifty
members from around the world. We come from all faith groups,
ethnic, gender and educational backgrounds, molded after the Ministry
of Jesus.
Chaplain
Fellowship Ministries is a faith based Christ centered non-denominational
ministry of presence that offers the every day hard working man
or woman an opportunity to serve in the position of an ordained
Chaplain through specific chaplaincy programs, ecclesiastical
endorsements and certifications in their chosen field of ministry,
thereby, allowing any one who feels God has called them to minister
at some level as a ordained Chaplain. Our Mission is to ordain,
qualify, equip, train and recognize those seeking Ministry 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.
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.
Chaplain
Fellowship Ministries is dedicated to recruiting those who have
been called into the Lord's ministry of presence. Please remember
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 some one who has been there, it takes an hard-core ordained
biker Chaplain. Nursing home chaplaincy or ministry takes a chaplain
who is ordained and has compassion, understanding, and 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.
For all those who want to be a military chaplain, you must have
a Masters, 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. 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 ways for chaplains to serve in our Lord's
ministry of presence.
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.
Those
who work in market place type chaplaincy or ministry will have
to have what is required by those who employ them. For those who
have been called into hospital chaplaincy, Law Enforcement Chaplancy
and other specialized ministries, you do need training according
to what type of ministry you are involved in. There are many ministry's
and chaplaincy programs, they all have different requirements,
in other words many need specialized training, many don't, many
need college degrees, many don't. IT TAKES ALL OF US! Just like
it did in the days that Jesus walked the earth. Being called and
ordained into the ministry comes from God out of the love of our
Lord and savior! Not any mortal man or church.
The
picture on the right is a very real person and the best example
we have to prove the need for nursing home chaplains. When chaplains
make regular visits to nursing homes, it cuts down on this type
of abuse. No all nursing homes have this type of abuse, but there
are many, 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 as chaplains CAN
do something about it, if we will just get out there and do it.
If you don't know what to do visit our nursing home page. If you
don't want to be a chaplain or minister fine, please just do something
in your life to make a difference in the lives of those in need.
You would not be here, unless you have already been thinking about
it, or feel the Lord has called you into His Ministry.
Pro
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.
When
you begin the work as a chaplain you can be confident that God,
who has begin a good work in you, will complete it. Please never
let anyone tell you that you are not good enough for the ministry,
God does the calling and the ordaining, no man has the right to
tell you any different. 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 our 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.
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. God 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 no man stop
you from doing what you have been called to do. When you act upon
your calling, you then become a member of HIS Church. If you have
done your best, God will do the rest!
Gal
6:4 You should each judge
your own conduct. If it is good, then you can be proud of what
you yourself have done, without having to compare it with what
someone else has done.
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 children of God 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.
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 for the glory
of His kingdom, and as if it is our last.
