While the term “Chaplain” may not be found in the Bible, the principles of the work of the Biblical Chaplain clearly are.

Furthermore, it is only the unchanging Truth of God’s Word, faithfully shared by the Biblical Chaplain, that will have any effective and lasting impact in the life of a law officer who is privately struggling with a failing marriage or a recent divorce, overwhelming stress, addictive behavior, or depression.

The Biblical Chaplain can be a tremendous confidential resource that will encourage such officers and give them the hope they need from the Word of God.

The secular theories and practices of humanistic psychology have not successfully dealt with the problems facing our law enforcement professionals. That is why we see the rampant statistics of divorce, addictive behavior, and suicide within our ranks.

God’s Word is the only Truth that will resolve these issues and set that person free.

Primarily focused upon serving the officers and families of law enforcement agencies, In PURSUIT! Ministries also provides trained Biblical Chaplains to Corrections, Fire, and EMS agencies all across America at no charge to the agencies and personnel we serve. In PURSUIT! Ministries can customize a Chaplain program for your department.

Our Goals are:

• 1. To faithfully pursue lost souls in an effort to bring them into a right relationship with God through faith in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. This work is done under the authority of the local New Testament church; (See John 3:3, Colossians 1:14)
  
  
  
• 2. To see these souls set free from the slavery and bondage to sin and addictive behavior whether it be to drugs, alcohol, pornography, gambling, anger, theft, bitterness, deceit, or any other enslaving or controlling behavior, attitude, substance, or activity. (See John 8:34-36)
  
  
  
• 3. To see their broken families restored under the proper Biblical model with Christ at the head; (See Ephesians 5:22-28)



• 4. To place these new believers into local fundamental Bible-believing and Bible-preaching churches where they can grow in faith and become active and productive baptized members serving the Lord; (See Hebrews 10:25, II Timothy 2:15)
  
  
  
• 5. To equip such local New Testament churches with the training, information, and skills needed to reach out to the men and women in the criminal justice system on both sides of the cell door; (See Luke 14:23)
  
  
  
• 6. To accomplish these goals by training and referring men and women of Bible-believing New Testament churches to voluntary service within local law enforcement agencies under the sole auspice and authority of their own local church. (See Colossians 1:18; 2 Corinthians 8:1-5, 19, 23)

The Born-Again Christian’s Duty to Law Enforcement: (Romans 13:1-7)

Christians must be faithful to pray for the safety and encouragement of our men and women of law enforcement every time we hear a siren; every time we pass a police officer who has someone pulled-over on the street. These are opportunities to put the power of prayer into action.

Christians need to be in prayer for members of the tactical team. Even after the fact, though no shots may have been fired; even though everyone went home safe after the incident, those officers have experienced a trauma to the soul and they need prayer for healing from the Lord.

When an officer has had a suspect in the crosshairs, waiting to get the “green light,” it can have a devastating effect on him. The world calls it “being psyched-up” to take the shot.

This is not a psychological issue. It is a trauma to the soul of a human being who was created in the Image of God. Only the Lord Jesus Christ can heal such traumas to the heart and soul.

It is the duty and privilege of the local church to be in prayer for all our officers.
