Chaplaincy Ministries
Those who serve in Assemblies of God US Missions Chaplaincy Ministries are working every day to
bring the gospel to all people in every walk
of life – but the way they are accomplishing
this might surprise you.
Chaplains are ministering to the lost and hurting
in hospitals, prisons, military barracks, corporations,
and even at places such as bike rallies, rodeos,
racetracks and disaster sites. When ministering
in such places, the hood of a HUMVEE or the table
in a break room suddenly becomes a pulpit or
a place to serve communion. Sometimes pastoral
counseling takes place on a Harley or in the
belly of an aircraft carrier. For chaplains,
ministry opportunities change almost every day.
Each day thousands of people who have never
committed their lives to Christ are passing into
eternity. As long as people are hurting and yearning
for more than this life has to offer, there will
be a need for qualified chaplains who are willing
and able to take Christ’s message of love
and hope to those who are spiritually lost.
Chaplains
are ordinary people who are inspired by extraordinary purpose.
Mission
Spirit-empowered service to people at their point of
need.
