Imagine a world without trained men and
women who are passionate about taking
Christ’s
message of love and hope to every nook
and cranny of our society.
What would such a world look like? Would
there be more crime, despair and unrest?
Would people wander aimlessly searching for
hope and peace?
Would your community be a safe place to
live?
Thankfully, we’ll never have to find
out because Assemblies of God chaplains
are passionate about taking the gospel to some
of the most overlooked places in our
society such as: hardcore motorcycle rallies,
AIDS hospices, nursing homes, truck-stops,
battlefields, rodeos and areas devastated by
manmade and natural disasters.
Wherever lost and hurting people are, Assemblies
of God chaplains can be found sharing the
love of Christ.
So, why haven’t most people heard
much of this select group of ministers?
One reason is that our chaplains like to
blend in with those to whom they minister.
They aren’t looking for accolades;
they’re looking for souls to win for
Jesus Christ. Their immersion into the culture
where they minister is not for show — it’s
really a way of life.
Uniformed police and fire chaplains spend
hours at stations or in the field.
Motorcycle chaplains can be found among bikers.
Military chaplains spend much of their time
training or out on the battlefield alongside
troops. In each place, they are representatives
of God’s love.
Yes, chaplains fill a special need. But
they don’t necessarily want to
be thanked or put on a pedestal. Instead,
they just want others to walk in the
freedom that only a close relationship
with Christ brings.
These determined ministers of the gospel
need your help to do what they do best. One
of the easiest and most effective ways to
help is to pray for them. You can also contribute
finances that will help train new chaplains
and enable all chaplains to acquire Bibles
and Christian materials for distribution.
Now, imagine a world where men and women
with a heartfelt burden for the lost are
empowered by the twin engines of prayer and
financial support. The possibilities are
endless. Will you help make this world a
reality?
Together we can change our world and the
eternal destination of others.
In His Service,
Alvin F. Worthley, Director
