What Do I Do?

I am a US Missionary Chaplain to Law Enforcement with the purpose of ‘Serving Those Who Serve Others’. Our local law enforcement and first responders give their lives serving and protecting their community everyday. But who serves them? Many communities or agencies are simply unable to fund a chaplaincy program for their first responders. As a result, this vital role is commonly fulfilled through local Pastors or individuals who have the heart and see the need to provide spiritual care for this specific group of over 800,000 in the US.
 
Being a 2020 graduate of The Mineral Area Law Enforcement Academy Park Hills MO and a US Missions Chaplain enables me the unique opportunity to come alongside our local law enforcement and first responders in the Farmington Missouri area to assist them in not only a professional but also personal capacity in the area of spiritual and mental health. But, what if we don’t stop there. How powerful would it be if we could encourage this among other communities by being an available resource, by recruiting potential chaplains, and by equipping them with not only Spiritual but Practical tools for the mission! Seeing others dedicate themselves to their unique culture demonstrates God’s genuine value for them and their profession.

Why Is This Important?

There are more than 800,000 full-time law enforcement personnel in the US. The suicide rate among them is four times the felony rate and double the rate of suicides among the general population.
 
At this time, there are no FULL TIME US Missionaries through the Assemblies of God to this group. Never has the time been when the need is so great! Support accompanied with action for our law enforcement first responders is vital to their overall well being and the people they serve.
