In a 10 day period I have been caught in 3 downpours. 1. I was picking up moving boxes, to head to Training College, in the back of my brother’s big truck. Although I had suggested to the moving guy that I had tarps we could use, since the skies looked ready to open, he [...]

I love camping ministry!!! Kathy and I spent the final two weeks of our summer assignment at Newport Adventure Camp (NAC). Leading campers in their daily Bible devotions gave us the immense privilege of influencing their view of the world and of themselves. Campers were challenged to reflect on the question, “Where is God at [...]

Originally from Northern Ireland I am very proud of my British roots. Obviously then, I have an accent and sometimes use strange words or phrases that make perfect sense to me but not to anyone else. I also use the word ‘wee’ a lot – with many different meanings and contexts!!! I’ve been in Canada [...]

The Salvation Army in Portage La Prairie has partnered with the courts through the Fine Options and Community Service programs. This has proven to be a way of meeting people in our community and an opportunity to influence the lives of others. Through these programs we have the opportunity to interact with people who have [...]

“Be Prepared”. Many of you, like me, will recognize this motto from your youth in Girl Guides. While leading daily camper devotions at Newport Adventure Camp, Phil and I received a phone call from our host officers, during which they informed us that they (and therefore we) had been called upon to lead a funeral [...]

God has continued to bless us during our time here in Bishop’s Falls, NL. As I visit and get to know the people, I realize that many are hurting out there. Several ladies, who had been Salvationists for years, were going through enormous trials and were beginning to doubt their salvation. I felt very privileged [...]

From huge prairie skies, to the vast wonders of outer space, God never ceases to amaze me of how mighty and powerful he really is. We have just finished a week of Vacation Bible School in Prince Albert, and our theme was outer space. We talked about how BIG God really is, and of how [...]
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.
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…
