What is a Crisis Intervention Chaplain?

A Crisis Intervention Chaplain is a minister, deacon, elder, Sunday school teacher, or anyone else called of God to make a difference in a crisis. As a Crisis Intervention Chaplain you are a volunteer that promises to respond to the call when spiritual guidance is needed in a disaster.

We as a nation learned on September 11, 2001 that we are venerable and that the unthinkable can happen here. After the attack on September 11th, many clergy rushed to the site to provide whatever help they could, but they found they were not equipped to deal with such an incident. These wonderful men and women of God did not know who to help or who to comfort as they lay dying and where to find resources. Sadly, the members of the clergy that responded that day became victims themselves.

The Crisis Intervention Chaplain training offered by UACCCI is designed to teach members of the body of Christ the proper reporting procedures, places to find resourced and to provide the federal and state government a list of qualified crisis counselors that can assist them. You as a Crisis Intervention Chaplain may be called upon to hold the hand of a dying child and in a moment provide the funeral for that child. You could be asked "why did God do this?" or "what sense does this make?" What ever the call is you as a Crisis Intervention Chaplain are there to fill the gap and direct people to the Love of God, to share with people that God does care and He is right there with them. We are to be a beacon directing people to the hope only found in God.

Currently we are in need of individuals who will be regional and state directors, we also need team members. God bless you all and please keep praying for this wonderful work. If you are interested in taking this training please send an email with your name and the best contact information to drpursser@uaccci.org. I will set up the requirements for you and send you all the books and details in being a Crisis Intervention Chaplain.
