Chaplain Barry Black Addresses WHI

World Hope International welcomed Chaplain of the United States Senate Barry Black as keynote speaker at the organization’s spring dinner in conjunction with its biannual board of directors meeting on Friday, March 28, in Alexandria, VA. 

“We need to face our future with praise,” he said to the crowd of WHI board members, employees, and guests.  Chaplain Black reminded the guests to “sing the Lord’s song in a strange land.” He said we should not allow circumstances to rob us of joy despite challenges we might face because a sovereign God’s mission cannot be thwarted. He stressed the importance of intercessory prayer and bringing illumination to the world even in their lowest point. He went on to reinforce the importance of walking the journey of life praising God no matter the circumstances in your life. Chaplain Black told several stories of his work in the US Senate and stayed after the event ended to speak with WHI representatives and sign copies of his book, "From the Hood to the Hill".

Chaplain Black served in the US Navy for twenty-seven years, ending his distinguished career as the Chief of Navy Chaplains. On June 27, 2003, Rear Admiral Barry C. Black was elected the 62nd Chaplain of the Senate.
