Mission
Statement
1.
The Needy: One of the major functions of any church,
faith based organizations, or ministry SHOULD be to reach
out when we have the means and help all those who are in need.
It is the vision and mission of Chaplain Fellowship Ministries
that by the grace of God we will be blessed one day to be
able to help families who have lost everything in fires, disasters
or sickness. To be able to help senior citizens who do not
have enough money and many times have to make a decision between
buying medication or food each month. Chaplain Fellowship
Ministries will always do what we can to help when people
in need come to us with no where else to turn. When they turn
to God in prayer, God sends those He has called to help in
any way we can.
2.
Provide Anger and Stress Management: As we all know world
events has caused a dramatic increase in violence and crime
in our communities and cities which has created a desperate
need for training resources in how to manage stress and anger.
Those who attend the classes offered will learn expressions
of anger that are acceptable to society so that violence and
self-destructive behavior can be avoided. They will also learn
how to be more emotionally intelligent and how to use proven
communication skills to become more effective in their day
to day lives. These classes will be offered free to our Iraq
veterans, their families, Viet Nam veterans and those who
can not afford the classes. There are a large number of our
troops committing suicide on a regular basis, this is a fact
not being reported by news agencies. It is our hopes and prayers
that we may be able to help save as many as we can reach.
You can help folks, with your support we will be able to offer
these classes free to many who need them. Your support will
also help train more chaplains in anger management Skills
Training who can become providers all over our our nation
offering classes free to anyone within our communities that
need them.
3.
Domestic violence shelters and training centers: There
are over four million women in this country who suffer some
kind of violence at the hands of their husbands or boyfriends
each year. Very few will tell anyone - a friend, a relative,
a neighbor, or the police. Victims
of domestic violence come from all walks of life, all cultures,
all income groups, all ages, all religions. They share feelings
of helplessness, isolation, guilt, fear, and shame.
Chaplain Fellowship will help start shelters for abused women
and children. Folks, we can not count the times over the years
we have heard people make comments regarding domestic violence
when they have no idea what they are talking about. Most people
do not know any better and will say that victims of abuse
don't have to live with an abuser, they think they can just
leave anytime they want to. No woman wants to be abused, let
alone allow their children to be abused. However, anyone who
has worked with domestic violence victims knows that they
are almost never able to leave on their own. Many of those
who have tried were found by the abuser and beat even worse,
in some cases the abusers have even killed them. They need
a safe place where they and their children can go to be protected
from the abuser. Therefore, we have a vision to help provide
safe houses and training centers nationwide designed to help
abused women and children. Training centers will help abused
women to learn a new vocation in a safe environment. Many
abused women stay in abusive relationships because they have
no choice; most have no job skills which means that they can
not support themselves or their children. Right now, as you
are reading this there are women and children being beaten,
some even killed, by drunks, drug addicts or men who just
have a bad attitude or temper.
4.
Shelters
and counseling centers for Veterans: Americans would be
amazed at the number of veterans currently living on our streets.
Some of them are disabled Vietnam veteran some are disabled
Iraq veterans who a year ago was fighting defending our nation.
Many Vietnam veterans have committed suicide or died on the
streets, or in prison. We pray that Iraq veterans will be
treated better. Many of these veterans are disabled and have
no one to help them, no place to go. How did this happen folks?
There are many reasons but most people don't want to hear
about it. It helps them to sleep at night to just put all
the blame on the veterans or the government. God help us!
We sure enjoy the freedoms we have in our country. It is a
disgrace that we have combat disabled veterans Living and
dying in the streets. Chaplain Fellowship will help start
faith based counseling centers for combat Vietnam veterans,
Iraq veterans and their families. These centers will be run
by trained chaplains or veterans themselves who understand
what the combat veteran is going through. The goal is to help
these veterans learn how to live with the trauma they witnessed
and lived with in combat. They will be taught how to live
and function in a world that they can no longer understand.
Combat veterans will never look at life or people the same
way ever again, they can't no matter how hard they try, but
they can be taught by other combat veterans who have survived
how to live with it and survive themselves.
5.
Food
Ministry for senior citizens and poor families: We believes
in reaching out to help families in need and senior citizens
in our nation. We will do everything in our power by the Grace
of our Lord to help senior citizens and poor families in their
time of need.

have trained and ordained chaplains in every state in the
United States, and many other countries worldwide serving
in ministries that help those in need within their communities.
7.
To offer biblical and crisis intervention training and ordination
to all of Gods' people who have been called into a ministry
of presence no matter what their ethnic, educational or gender
may be. Who better to take the gospel to the streets than those
who have had to live on the streets.
8.
To have trained and ordained chaplains in every Police Department,
Fire Department, Federal and State Agencies, Nursing Homes,
Hospitals, City and County Jails, Prisons, Drug Rehab Centers,
Domestic Violence Shelters, Veterans Counseling Centers, Street
Ministries and any other type of ministry the Lord calls chaplains
to do. There are a lot of combat veterans becoming law enforcement
officers, under the right circumstances you can be sure there
will be problems. Police departments are starting to that they
have a real serious problem. Chaplains trained in crisis intervention
and anger management are a valuable assist to departments who
care about their officers, their families and their communities.

Ministry Needs Statement
Funds for training: Chaplain Fellowship believes that chaplains
must have proper training to minister to the public at large.
CFMOK offers distance learning courses to prepare chaplains
and ministers for the work they have been called to do. We pray
that one day we will be able to offer help with scholarships
for many of the training programs that chaplains need to do
their work in their communities.
Chaplain's
relief fund: Many of our Chaplains give so much, to so many
who are in need never asking for anything in return. From time
to time, even chaplains find themselves in financial need with
no where to turn. Some loose their jobs, or their vehicle needs
repair, their children get sick. Some do not have what is needed
just to get by at times from week to week. There are many things
that can and do go wrong. Chaplain Fellowship will be there
for our chaplains when possible during their time of need. Please
keep in mind Chaplains and their families are only human and
experience many of the same problems that everyone else faces.
Please keep our chaplains and their families in your prayers.
