North American Ministries Chaplaincy Update

North American Ministries is proud to serve as the endorsing agency for ministers pursuing the chaplaincy. Whether through military service, in Veterans’ Affairs, at hospitals, or to first responders, our chaplains minister across the nation and around the world.

Military chaplains serve as pastors to service men and women and their families, ministering to personnel stationed across the globe through Bible classes, chapel services, mentorship, and training. They stand alongside fellow soldiers and their families in times of sickness, celebration, tragedy, and war. We are incredibly grateful for their service to the Lord and to our country!

NAM currently has 14 military chaplains faithfully serving our nation. Please remember these chaplains and their families in prayer as they share the gospel with their fellow service members.

WV Generation Servant Conference a Success

Master’s Men celebrated a great weekend in West Virginia at the Generation Servant Conference. Twenty young men and 11 adult leaders shared their expertise in carpentry, electrical work, and gun safety. More importantly, these mentors taught the younger men about the importance of following the Lord and being a godly servant.
