Chaplain Ministry Training

Hello, my name is Harry Bailey, and I am enrolled at the Christian Leaders Institute for online Chaplain ministry training (Learn more about free online Bible courses, Click He re). I am from the United States in southeastern New Mexico. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 27 years. We have three children and six grandchildren. I work in Law Enforcement and have since October 2001 held several positions to include a police officer.

Finding God

I never had a church background until my adult years, when I started going to church after my father’s death. I knew of God and Jesus Christ but didn’t know anything about Christianity. When my dad passed, it left me wide open with many questions. My wife, a believer and follower of Christ, mentioned going to church. So, one Sunday morning, we loaded the kids up and went looking for a church to attend. I was checking the parking lot for the most cars so I could slip in and out without being bothered. That wasn’t the case. It was like everyone in the building knew I was hurting and looking for answers. I have never felt such sincere love from a stranger or group of strangers like I did that day. That day was September 14, 1997. The day my life changed forever.

Challenges and Healing

I started to feel better in so many ways and wanted to share that healing with anyone I could. So, I went into law enforcement. I thought it was the best place to be. We protect the innocent and help the lost even when they don’t want it. However, I made a big mistake. I jumped in with both feet and forgot to take God with me. As a result, I was lost even more than before. I lost my empathy and hope for people. Worst of all, I withdrew and grew a cold heart due to the things I was seeing and dealing with.

One night, I realized that I needed to get back to God and start over from scratch. Through this journey, there has been a lot of self-reflection. I work on one problem at a time with the Holy Spirit’s help. I thank God every day for the good and bad times in my life. It amazes me how He can change a person and give them a purpose for His glory.

Chaplain Ministry Training at CLI

I feel these experiences have defined my calling in ministry. Our first responders don’t have a dedicated Chaplain in their ranks in my community. I am so grateful that God is allowing me the responsibility to begin to be that visual example. So many see me as a responder they can talk to without holding back the details. I get to be the one that points them to God so they can be healed and find peace and love with the one living God.

I am currently enrolled with Christian Leaders Institute for Chaplain ministry training. Then, I am working toward the degree program to become an ordained chaplain through CLI’s Leadership Excellence School. God blessed me with a mentor who has seen many of the same types of situations in his life, just in a different setting. Together, we are called to start a chaplain program to care for those souls that lay it all on the line.
