Chop! Chop! Chaplain: Chaplain Ministry in a Beef Processing Plant by Rev. Heidi Revelo



What does ministry look like in a 2,800-employee beef-processing plant? Chaplain Heidi takes you by the hand as she gently pulls back the thin layer of veneer of real experiences with Muslims, Christians, languages, cultures, customs, traditions, and a splash of corporate policy. It's a merry-go-round of colorful stories with emotional highs and lows punctuated with laughter. "If we can see each other as people, not a label, it changes the way we see the world. I'm a mom, and that Muslim woman is a mom. Now we're seeing each other through the same lens of life's camera. I want others to meet the people I love, care about, and minister to."


Rev. Heidi Erion Revelo, Chaplain Heidi, grew up in Cozad, Nebraska. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in communication from University of Nebraska at Kearney and went on to earn a master's of divinity from Northern Baptist Theological Seminary in Lombard, Illinois. She was ordained in the American Baptist Churches. She served United Methodist churches for six years in Nebraska. Her position as a part-time chaplain at a beef-processing plant began in 2013. All those parables Jesus teaches jump to life when you're from a state of cows and corn. My life parable is 'The Sower.' I am called to sow, to help people, to encourage, and live out my faith. The Wheat and the Weeds, The Mustard Seed, and The Lost Sheep are also parables that speak to her. She is married with two young adult daughters.
