220 Life Ministries

Chaplain Jon Knoedler is an ordained chaplain serving in the United States Army. He has a Fire Science degree, Bachelor's in Youth Ministry, and a Master's of Divinity from Western Seminary. After working 10 years as a pastor in two churches, Jon was endorsed by the Evangelical Church Alliance and entered military service. He's attended the Chaplain Officer Basic Course, Airborne School, Ranger School, and is currently serving in Baghdad, Iraq with the 4th Brigade 10th Mountain Division. Jon is a part of the 220 Life family and offers this advice for other chaplains:

"220 Life Ministry can be a huge force multiplier for any UMT willing to use them. This discipleship ministry reaches into the ranks and meets soldiers in ways that we chaplains can't always do. 220 Life has demonstrated the willingness to reach out as extra arms and hands for my unit ministry team, thus allowing my reach to go far deeper into my unit."

"I have witnessed the effectiveness of 220 Life to raise young believers into maturity. Utilizing even just one 220 Life minister in your unit will soon result in a group of growing and ministering Soldiers reaching out to their buddies and building a healthy spiritual environment. I highly recommend linking arms with this ministry in the spiritual plan for your unit."

 Leaning hard into Him,

Chaplain Jon Knoedler
