Get on the bus Gus

Be careful what you say in Theology class. That is the lesson Tracy learned when she told Mj. Harris she didn’t like to take the bus. I’m probably taking great liberties in my rendition of the outcome, but to paraphrase, “Tracy, you will have to ride the bus before we can commission you”. And so [...]

Wordle – Just because it’s cool

What is a wordle?  Is it art?  Is it the musings of a slightly deranged programmer?  In its own words… Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different [...]

Raised in a Godly home by wonderful Salvationist parents in La Scie, NL, did not deter me from rebelling against God during my teenage years. Circumstances brought me to Toronto, where I met my husband Brian. God gifted us with two sons, and 1979 we started attending Cedarbrae Corps in Scarborough, ON. Both of us [...]

In pursuit of a better life my father and two friends arrived in Canada in 1971. After the Coup in 1973 the rest of the family decided to leave Chile and join my father. Not yet a teenager, the adjustment was extremely difficult and one that I would struggle with for many years. The life [...]

My time at the CFOT has truly been both a blessing and time of immense spiritual growth.  This time has provided me with an opportunity to further develop my own personal relationship with God and has also served as a time of invaluable preparation as I prepare for full time ministry as an officer. With [...]

calling, preparation and formation

On the eve of embarking on another youth adventure as a chaperone for a retreat, I am reflecting where the past seven years have brought me. Back in 2002 Tracy and I started our journey into full time ministry as youth directors and that continued until we entered CFOT in 2007. I was able to [...]

Prior to life as an officer I worked for 12 years in residential model treatment homes for adolescents.  Those years provided invaluable opportunities for learning and were influential in developing the talents and gifts God has placed in me to bring to ministry .  Commissioned in 2002 with the “Crossbearers” session, my family and I [...]

CFOT HIGHLIGHTS
  • Scripture for Praying & Living

    May 18, 2012

     Praying Scripture – 1 Chronicles 16:29

    “Ascribe to the LORD
    the glory due his name;
    bring an offering and come before him.
    Worship the LORD
    in the splendour of his holiness.”

    Living Scripture - Hebrews 12:8-9

    If you are not disciplined
    (and everyone undergoes discipline),
    then you are illegitimate children
    and not true sons.
    Moreover, we have all had human fathers
    who disciplined us
    and we respected them for it.
    How much more should we submit
    to the Father of our spirits and live!

    Praying Scripture – 1 Chronicles 16:29

    “Ascribe to the LORD
    the glory due his name;
    bring an offering and come before him.
    Worship the LORD
    in the splendour of his holiness.”

    Living Scripture - Daniel 6:10

    Now when Daniel learned
    that the decree had been published,
    he went home to his upstairs room
    where the windows opened toward Jerusalem.
    Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed,
    giving thanks to his God,
    just as he had done before.

  • EASTER SPECIALING 2012

    This Easter CFOT Cadets and Officers had the privilege of participating in a variety of Easter activities and services at Corps in Alberta. 

    Small goups of Cadets/Officers participated in all aspects of the Easter Services and were also able to spend some valuable time with youth groups.  In Calgary tradition, some of our CFOT folks were “white hatted” (see photos below).  A wonderful time of worship, outreach and fellowship was had by all.  

    A big thank you to the Alberta Divsion for hosting us!  You have been so gracious to us in sharing your ministries, your homes and your hearts with us…
