How Can They Believe? video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPES6fJCKQk © 1989 by Steven W. Satterfield The world says it’s money that counts but it never fails we always want more. It’s true we can’t take it with us, we’d take the same if we were poor. Life has an underlying theme, there’s more than living day by day. A Man died so we could be free with a message we must proclaim. How can they believe of whom they have not heard? How can they hear without a preacher? We’re ambassadors in a foreign land, we’re not of this world. The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Half the world still needs to hear about the Man who really cared. How can we say we love the world if we don’t do our share? It’s hell for some, eternal pain, for those who don’t believe. We’ll share a taste of their pain if they ask “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Chaplain Satterfield brought Dr. Sidebotham (top, www.oprev.org) to work to speak to about 30 Muslims and Christians, helping each other understand each other better.
Chaplain Satterfield baptized 9 men at the Federal Correctional Institution https://www.bop.gov/locations/institutions/flf/

Here is an article CH Satterfield wrote that appeared in the NAECC newsletter: "I started my CH career by getting 15 months of Clinical Pastoral Education at the Veteran Affairs Medical Center in Pittsburgh, PA and at the Swedish Medical Center in Englewood, CO. Then I joined the US Army as an Active Duty CH for 9 years, including 28 months in Afghanistan, Iraq (4 months at the Abu Ghraib and Cropper prisons) and Kuwait.

It was then time for a change. I had previously volunteered in prisons when I was with Youth With a Mission in Scotland and W. Africa, and I also volunteered in the Pueblo, CO city jail. I was open to prison ministry and in Nov 2010 I stared working at the Federal Correctional Complex in Florence, CO. The majority of my ministry time is spent at a medium security facility housing male inmates, where I serve prisoners who represent about 25 religions. As a Christian CH endorsed by the NAE, I only perform worship services for Christians. A recent highlight was leading a Christian service for about 75 where I shared about my trips to the Holy Land over the years.

In addition I spend several hours per week at the male minimum security satellite prison camp. I regularly co-lead worship on a keyboard and preach to about 20 Christian inmates there. I also co-lead a group of about 12 in Threshold, the Bureau of Prisons faith-based community re-entry program to provide guidance to inmates in transition and promote accountability.

It has been a challenge learning to work in the prison while being the 169th Fires Brigade CH in the CO Army National Guard and a Doctor of Ministry Marriage and Family Counseling student at Denver Seminary, but I know the Lord has been using me to nurture the living, care for the wounded and honor the fallen, For God and Country!

CH Steve Satterfield led a Remembrance for Capt Wilcox in the Finley-Shields Chapel. Lord, comfort her family and friends.

Tuesday, April 13, 2010


Who: Maldive Anadullah (Director of Religious Affairs) and CH Steve Satterfield

Where: FOB Finley-Shields, Jalalabad, Nangahar Province, Afghanistan

When: 1430, 4 APR 2010

What: CH Satterfield visited with Mawlavi Anadullah, the Director Of Hajj and discussed religions in the US Military. He explained the pluralistic history of the military chaplaincy and how there are several different chaplains (Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Buddhist) within the ranks of the US Army. CH Satterfield continued to explain that if religious services can not be performed other sources are provided. This serves as another example of how cultural and religious barriers are being broken as we work together for stability and peace in Afghanistan.

RELIGIOUS LEADER LIASION
Who: CH Satterfield and CPT Battschinger, Civil Affairs, Provincial Reconstruction Team

When: 31 March 2010

Where: FOB Hughie, Jalalabad, Afghanistan

What: Major Abdul Malek, the Religious Cultural Affairs Officer for the 3rd Kandak, met with CH Satterfield and CPT Battschinger, lead for the PRT Civil Affairs team. There was good discussion on Afghan National Security Forces and Coalition Forces partnership while partaking in chai and fruit. Ch Satterfield will introduce Major Malek to the chaplain who is replacing him, allowing relations to continue as they work together to help Afghanistan.

KEYS TO THE KINGDOM GAME REVIEW By SSG Brian Havens, US Army, Jalalabad, Afghanistan

The Keys to the Kingdom video game is a good learning tool for all. I feel it is better used as a tool for children to learn about God. It could also challenge adults in areas of our relationship with God, such as knowing His Word, and knowing it by heart. This is a good ministry tool for those who are in their infant phase and walk with Christ. Good Job!

Officers' Christian Fellowship published one of my pictures showing us helping the Afghans. Because of this, someone contacted me, who put me in contact with Gary Sinise's (CSI-NY, etc.) organization, who sent us 30 boxes of supplies for the needy Afghans. The medic at Garcia emailed Gary, who ended up visiting there. Thanks, Lord, for letting me have a small part in this!
