mattrachelI grew up in a devout Catholic home in Wisconsin. Through a friend I came to know God more personally at age 13.  As a young child, I had a desire to serve God; however it was not until the spring of 2005 when God gave me a clear call to serve Him as a Salvation Army Officer.

I am very thankful for my training and preparation period at CFOT.  It is an intensive program but they have a lot to teach before sending people into full-time ministry.  During this time my knowledge of and love for God has grown deeper.

I have many hobbies.  I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children. I like carpentry (yes, the tools are mine), experiential cooking, sewing (without patterns), playing board games, card-making, soap-making, stain-glass, fishing, etc.

My hope for ministry is to rely on God as my source to direct my path and to give him all the glory so that He can say “well done, good and faithful servant.”

    Scriptures for Praying & Living

    February 6, 2012

    Praying Scripture – Leviticus 20:8

    Keep my decrees and follow them.
    I am the LORD, who makes you holy.

    Living Scripture -  Psalm 24:3

    Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD?
    Who may stand in his holy place?
    The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
    who does not trust in an idol
    or swear by a false god.

  • In Sunday January 22 2012

    CFOT was pleased to welcome special guests Colonels Floyd and Tracey Tidd to our In Sunday on January 22, 2012.
    The focus of their message was “Hope” and cadets and officers shared stories of life situations that may have seemed hopeless but which eventually brought them to know hope.

    This In Sunday was also blessed by the attendance of our Field Based Training cadets – Peck-Ee Wong and Leonard Heng, and  Kim and Darryl Burry (and their family).
