This video could actually be a recording of Winnipeg over the entire Summer. We have the windiest corner, the coldest winters, and we may now be able to add “wettest summer” to our resume’. Enjoy the video on this overcast Friday Winnipeg Morning. Continue reading to watch.

I appreciate that often God chooses to show me how He is working in my life and in the lives of others by bringing something familiar from my past into the present. It’s as if He is saying “Look Kathy, see how am I working here. You’ve seen me work before like this and here [...]

Our first glimpse of the mountains as we flew over the Rockies took our breath away; and every day is a reminder of God’s great majesty and power. We have met so many wonderful people here in New Westminster, and we have had the pleasure of engaging in different ministries at the Corps and in [...]

This picture of Elizabeth and Wayne on Kettles in New Westminister is a far cry from the LAST time we say Elizabeth playing the timbrel. If we were to guess it was about an 80 degree difference between New Westminister, BC in July and Winnipeg in December. The story of the kettle campaign to raise [...]

It’s all about the relationships! Greetings from Saskatoon, SK – the city of bridges. It’s been almost three weeks since I arrived in town and I am blessed to be working with four independent ministry units in this beautiful city.

I have been involved in many community outreach activities since we arrived in Parry Sound. One such activity involved a RV which The Salvation Army – Rainbow Country Church has outfitted as a Community Response Vehicle. Part of the ministry connected to this vehicle happens on Friday nights when the RV parks in downtown Parry [...]

Serving in Chatham-Kent ministry unit is incredible. There is such a diversity of experiences as the Corps ministers to forty communities. It is overwhelming to consider how this can be achieved effectively. The key answer, as I am discovering, is to have something of value to offer. During my time so far I have been [...]

Elizabeth and I are having an amazing summer in New Westminster. The beauty of British Columbia is phenomenal, and the people of “New West” make you feel right at home. We have been welcomed with open arms by everyone (starting with hugs from Capt. Dave Macpherson at the airport). Capt. Dave told us at the [...]
Praying Scripture – Jeremiah 33:3-4
“This is what the Lord says,
he who made the earth,
the Lord who formed it and established it -
the Lord is his name:
Call to me and I will answer you
and tell you great and unsearchable things
you do not know.”
Living Scripture - Psalm 111:10
The fear of the Lord
is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts
have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise.
Praying Scripture – Jeremiah 33:3-4
“This is what the Lord says,
he who made the earth,
the Lord who formed it and established it -
the Lord is his name:
Call to me and I will answer you
and tell you great and unsearchable things
you do not know.”
Living Scripture - 2 Chronicles 1:11-12
God said to Solomon,
“Since this is your heart’s desire
and you have not asked for wealth, riches or honor,
nor for the death of your enemies,
and since you have not asked for a long life
but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people
over whom I have made you king,
therefore wisdom and knowledge shall be given you.
And I will also give you
wealth, riches and honor,
such as no king who was before you ever had
and none after you will have.”
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 - Revelation 22:8
I, John, am the one who heard
and saw these things.
And when I had heard and seen them,
I fell down to worship
at the feet of the angel
who had been showing them to me.
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 - Revelation 4:9-11
Whenever the living creatures give glory,
honor and thanks to him
who sits on the throne
and lives forever and ever,
the twenty-four elders fall down before him
who sits on the throne,
and worship him who lives forever and ever.
They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
“You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”
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!
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…
