Chaplains Ministries

Military chaplains around the world give pastoral care to military personnel and their families. Although most of ACCTS’ work is with non-clergy military Christians, we also minister to – and with – chaplains around the world to support their work and encourage them personally.

Our staff members offer care and support to chaplains (and those who minister as chaplains in nations which do not yet have a chaplaincy) through personal visits and prayer. We also provide teaching on a variety of levels, from our formal International Chaplain Training to one-on-one teaching and resources. This kind of individualized ministry is important, as training for international chaplains varies greatly --- some have attended seminary or were pastors before becoming chaplains, while others were simply chosen for the job and put into it with little to no training.

Not all nations have chaplaincies, and in some of those nations military Christians are working toward efforts to begin chaplaincies. We also work with and support them by providing training and resources.

International Chaplain Training provides teaching to international military chaplains (as well as pastors and other Christians who work as chaplains) to equip them to better serve their nations' armed forces. Many nations around the world provide little to no training for their chaplains, who are thrust into positions of counseling soldiers in difficult situations.

International Chaplain Training participants and their spouses learn how to work as a team to:

• help soldiers experiencing combat operations stress;
• minister in hospital emergency rooms;
• address marriage and family issues, including dating, conflict resolution, and raising children;
• suicide prevention and notification of next-of-kin;
• and the effective use of inductive Bible study and conversational prayer methods.
