A
Chaplain is an ordinary person doing
extraordinary work using practical and
compassionate ways to touch those around them
who reach out for help. Whether people are
suffering from grief and loss, the suicide of a
loved one, marriage and divorce recovery, a
financial crisis, hospital care, whether it is
in the marketplace, hospitals, jails or prisons,
the Chaplain is one who comes alongside to share
with and help others in distress, whether the
hurting one is a man, a woman, young or old the
Chaplain is a caregiver, or a spiritual person
who cares.
So
the Chaplain can be described as a caregiver
whose primary job is to serve the emotional,
physical, spiritual and personal needs of people
in the community around them.
Many Outreach Voluntary Chaplains have a
specific mission field in which they will serve.
Relationships will be built within the community
over a period of time, and many opportunities
will arise out of those relationships. Really,
it is sometimes as simple as making oneself
available, one encounter at a time.
Availability is of the utmost importance
to
have a strong Chaplaincy impact.
Be
ready always to give an answer to everyone who
asks you a reason for the hope within you with
meekness and fear.
Matthew 9:35-38
records teaching of Jesus speaking to the need
for more workers in the harvest field. Jesus
felt pity or compassion for the crowds who came,
as they had many needs and none to give them
help. Jesus said the harvest is great, but the
laborers are few, so we are to pray to the Lord
of the harvest that He will send laborers into
the field, and that is what a Chaplain does, she
has compassion on the people and helps to bring
solutions to their problems in their everyday
lives.
Ephesians 4:11-13
The Apostle Paul provides practical instruction
regarding the responsibility of equipping the
people for the work of serving in the ministry.
John 11:35, shares about the compassion of
Christ…God was glorified through signs and
wonders…
