We connect those who want to bring God’s light to dark and chaotic places.
Your generosity empowers chaplains, strengthens communities, and sends the light of God into the dark and chaotic places.
The chaplain ministry is the fastest-growing ministry in the whole world. The Marsh Institute enables chaplains, when the need arises – and it will – to serve you and those you love with competence. Your financial support matters.
EMPOWERING CHAPLAINS WORLDWIDE
Ukraine Chaplain Ministry: Because of donors like you, the Marsh Institute engaged National Police chaplains, Eastern European Youth Leadership, and church ministers, providing trauma care resources, spiritual care tools, and practical training—free of charge. These volunteer chaplains serve families, police, and frontline workers in war-torn Ukraine. As communities confront ongoing violence, these materials help strengthen resilience, ethical leadership, and hope among those carrying the weight of a nation in crisis. Additionally, the National School of Judges recently approached us to assist in developing a chaplaincy ministry for all judges and staff.
CERTIFICATE IN CHAPLAINCY
The Marsh Institute launched a Certificate in Chaplain Ministry Program and assembled over twenty-six leaders from seminaries, universities, endorsing bodies, and chaplain organizations. This certificate will support numerous educational and training needs from the beginner to the professional chaplain. Our Chaplain Center of Excellence for Chaplain Curricula and Resources will transform passion into profession for chaplains everywhere. Chaplains globally are seeking these resources now.
GLOBAL TRANSLATION
Your generosity places The Heart of a Chaplain in the hands of chaplains and leaders worldwide. Spanish translation is nearing completion, and the Ukrainian Edition—more complex and costly—is underway. Your support accelerates this effort, allowing chaplains in under-resourced regions to access resources at no cost. The Heart of a Chaplain, 2nd Edition Demand continues to exceed projections. Your gifts help us to print another 1,000 copies and keep costs low so students, volunteers, and chaplains can access resources affordably. We have added training aids and are working on an audio version. Multiple seminaries and clinical trainers use this book as their primary chaplain resource.
WEBINARS & DIGITAL TRAINING
Because of your donor support, thousands have accessed free webinars such as “Ministering to Those with Dementia” and “Walking with the Hurting Following a Death by Suicide”. Our next webinar will help caregivers “Ministering to Those Suffering with Reproductive Grief.” Without you, ministry initiatives falter, the translation work slows, and global training distribution does not meet demand. Chaplains, like Bill, are ready to minister to the forgotten, the broken, and the unreachable.
LEAVE AN ENDURING LEGACY
Your financial investment makes these initiatives possible, thereby providing specialized education and training worldwide. Your support impacts people and ministries, leaving an enduring legacy of your compassion.
