Chaplains Help in Times of Crisis

Chaplains are Needed for Spiritual Growth

The Sound of Freedom is a phenomenal movie. Rescuing the children from harm is very dramatic and we praise God for every single rescue.
Unfortunately, the movie can’t tell us everything. Many kids can’t escape. Unless there is a Jesus intervention, these children will face a life of chronic illness and early death.
Years ago, my wife and I decided to take action. We saw the after affects of what happens to these victims. It’s very important to prevent those things from ever happening in the first place. We found out if children are in school, they are less like to fall victim to any of these horrific events.
Right now we have over 26,000 schools, representing over 23 million people being ministered to by chaplains. Chaplains have changed the culture in schools. More kids stay in school longer. More kids graduate school. Great things happened when there is a God representative on campus.
If you watched the Sound of Freedom, and you were motivated to take action, supporting the National School Chaplain Association prevents the victimization. Your support over the last years have prevented untold number of children from becoming victims. We’ve dedicated our lives to protect children. Go see the movie, and support the protection of children at every level.

Texas has passed The School Chaplain Act. This law will allow schools to hire chaplains. Chaplains will provide counseling and community support to teachers and students.

The National School Chaplain Association recognizes the increasing challenges faced by students, teachers, and educational institutions in Texas, including mental health issues, school gun violence, and teacher burnout. They believe that a trained and accredited school chaplain can provide valuable support to address these issues. If you would like to be a school chaplain or know of someone that would want to be one, please contacts us!

“There’s a hopelessness that has hit this generation. They need help, they need to know there is hope and a future for them and chaplains are ideal for getting that message across.” ~Gordon Robertson
