You can tell a lot about a community by watching. Looking at the neighbourhood stores, how resident’s tend their homes, what kinds of cars are parked on the street… it’s a bit like being a detective. And that is what faculty and staff from CFOT are doing every week in a Winnipeg community where The Salvation Army’s Multicultural Family Centre is located.

As a Church the Salvation Army exists in one hundred and twelve countries world wide. With so many nationalities, cultures, and languages what unites us all when gathering for international events? Music!

Cadet Mark Braye has an article posted on theRubicon - an online journal of opinion and conversation about The Salvation Army - in which he explores the idea of church… and even find scriptural support for the idea that Paul said the Body of Christ was like a ‘dime’.

Since as early as 1989 Colleges for Officer Training in the Canada and Bermuda Territory have had a unique partnership with the William and Catherine Booth College.The initial relationship, forged in 1989, allows for all officers who have completed their training at CFOT to be given 35 credits towards an undergraduate degree in Bible and Theology, should they choose to enter the program.

Just two years ago the new CFOT in Winnipeg was a mess - stone chips and drywall dust, wood slivers and nails. Renovations on our 90-year-old building were well underway but the results were - and are - spectacular. For those of you who haven’t yet had the opportunity to visit us, we’ve put together a collection of pictures that showcase our home.

It was the first time in over 20 years that a sitting General visited Winnipeg, and CFOT is thrilled to offer you his address to cadets, officers and those who proclaim the gospel. In what proved to be a stirring message on this notable visit, General Shaw Clifton offered two words of inspiration to his congregation at the CFOT chapel, “Vision and Verdict”.

General Shaw Clifton and Commissioner Helen Clifton visited CFOT on Friday and spoke with staff and the cadets with a challenge to “Vision and Verdict”. The General’s words were well received, and he and Commissioner Clifton’s visit was truly a highlight for all involved.
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.
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).
