Isaiah 58:6-7

“Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?

Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?”

Message from our Esteemed President

I am Reverend Pastor James Warren, a full-time minister for 35 years and a qualified chaplain. In 2018, the LORD stirred my heart to start a Chaplain Ministry to address a clear need: many called believers were eager to serve but lacked a platform offering proper training, knowledge, and protection. This led to the founding of SAFReC, registered as a non-profit in August 2018. After thorough planning, we ordained our first 52 chaplains on June 1, 2019. Since then, we’ve witnessed incredible growth as chaplains flourish in their calling, becoming powerful instruments in God’s hands. SAFReC continues to equip and empower those called to full-time ministry—meeting a vital need in today’s world.

Vision, Mission & Motto

To serve as dedicated Community Chaplains, reaching out to individuals and families affected by trauma, providing essential emotional, spiritual, and physical support within their communities.
SAFReC's mission is to manage, prepare, and train Community Chaplains with the skills and qualifications necessary for effective deployment throughout South Africa.

Minister the Presence, Serving with Integrity, and Small Acts of Kindness.
This is more than just a motto — it’s the heartbeat of everything we do.

Serving with integrity means living with honesty, trustworthiness, and strong moral principles. We are committed to stay true to our values, respecting every individual, and upholding the highest ethical standards in all our actions.

We also believe in the power of small, meaningful acts of kindness. Whether it’s a comforting word, a helping hand, a prayer, or a moment of genuine care, these small gestures — inspired by the Fruit of the Spirit — create ripples of hope and healing.

By combining unwavering integrity with everyday acts of kindness, we are building a culture of compassion, unity, and lasting positive change in every community we serve.
