When I first found the Fellowship of Christian Paramedics on the web I was surprised that there was such an entity. I basically did a google search for "Christian paramedic" and I returned 342000 hits for the keywords "Christian, Paramedic". No way was I going to look thru all 340000 websites but the very first website returned showed "The Fellowship of Christian Paramedics" What a find.
I looked over what Charles had done with his chapter and I felt a calling to begin my endeavors to have a chapter in the Midwest. I did not know about the chapter in San Diego but I knew that I needed to start a chapter in the Midwest. I believe this was one of those gentle whispers from God, recalling from a bible story about earthquakes, landslided, thunder, lightning but the gentle whisper is what I heard.
I began correspondence with Charles, I've never met him, I've never even talked to him on the phone but he trusted me enough to help me begin my journey anew in starting this chapter. Will it be easy? Nope. Will we be blocked at times by forces that are beyond our control, absolutely. Will this chapter get off the ground and grow into a chapter that we all can be proud of - Absolutely.
I have a vision of what I want my chapter to be, I have a vision of where I want the chapter to be by Christ's Birthday. I know it is an attainable vision and there are already people who have expressed interest in our chapter. With God's glory and power I know that this chapter can attain glory to him. This is really not my vision, it's something that God has placed in my heart to do and only with HIS help can his vision be attained. I am simply a vessel and through me via God's conduit will this chapter continue to Thrive.
I give this site over to God and Jesus Christ and I will do whatever is needed to Give God the greater glory.
Keep watching - incredible things are about to happen!!!!!
