Military ordination and ecclesiastical endorsement for the Army Navy Coast guard and Airforce Chaplains entering military chaplaincy

Psalm 91 A reassuring message for those who serve our country! "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.' He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. . . . For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. 'Because he loves me,' says the Lord, 'I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will answer.

Please Note: It is the belief of the leadership of Chaplain Fellowship Ministries that our troops deserve only the best when it comes to military chaplains. Due to a lack of full time help Chaplain Fellowship will no longer endorse chaplains for military chaplaincy. It is our experence that being a endorsement ministry for military chaplains takes no less than a full time paid staff that can devote all their time to the military and military Protocol. The chaplains who are now covered by chaplain Fellowship Ministries will still be covered.

We would like to suggest that chaplains seeking ordination and endorsement for the military may want to contact our friends and partners in ministry Chaplaincy Full Gospel Churches, they will help in any way that they can.
