Marketplace Chaplains

Marketplace Chaplains provides a personalized and proactive employee care service on behalf of companies for employees and their families across North America on a 24/7 basis.  Chaplains listen, talk with, care for, pray for, respond to crises, and encourage all company employees and their families in one-on-one and/or electronic communications, regardless of their background.

Our chaplains reach out in a compassionate and loving manner, in the name of Jesus Christ, to individuals and families. They seek to give hope and practical help to hurting hearts.  Every week, we are called by individuals, organizations, and even companies we don't serve to respond to a shooting, suicide, sudden death, or natural disaster.  Our chaplains are then able to provide grief support, reduce trauma, distribute gas cards, buy food/water, pay a hotel bill, purchase new clothes, or any other need employees have.

When the school shooting devastated the town of Uvalde, we were there for over a month and a half, providing food, water, and medical help to employees in need.  It was the deadliest school shooting in the United States in a decade:  19 elementary school children and two teachers were killed. Marketplace Chaplains responded immediately to calls we received from companies in Uvalde by dispatching 13 chaplains, who began rotating 24/7 to support the funeral home staff and families of the victims of the Uvalde shootings.  We put up chaplains in local hotels for weeks, beginning May 24th, the day of the tragedy.

A chaplain for a company received a call from management at 5:00 am indicating that an accident had occurred. A transformer exploded and injured a couple of maintenance men. The manager said that they needed immediate assistance from the chaplains. Chaplains arrived at the plant as soon as possible. They assisted workers and also part of the management team due to the uncertainty and commotion. One chaplain was instructed by an HR official to drive to the hospital to be with one of the injured employees. They were there until he was transferred to LSU medical center. The chaplains prayed for the wellbeing and recovery of the employees and also for their coworkers. Once HR officials found out the condition of the two employees, they communicated with the chaplains. They were very pleased with the chaplains at how everything was handled.

In another instance, a chaplain received a call from a supervisor about an employee whose son had been killed by a family member. The employee asked for a chaplain. Because the chaplain was only a few minutes away, they were able to arrive quickly. The chaplain met with the employee, and with tears he began to share the story of the death of his oldest son. The chaplain shared his grief and offered spiritual help to get him through this crisis. They prayed together, and before he left, the employee shared how much it meant to have chaplains that would come to work and be there when needed. They exchanged phone numbers and promised to stay in touch.

These are just a few examples of how our dedicated chaplains go above and beyond to care for employees every day.
