I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me. I have the privilege at CFOT of listening to great stories of ministry and growth in the lives of our future leadership, and we often share these with you. Then I’ll hear a [...]

We are privileged to be under the leadership of Major Julie Slous, who has recently received her doctorate in ministry from Luther Seminary in Minneapolis. We are grateful for her wisdom and guidance as we cultivate [...]

This piece comes to us courtesy of Cadet Jason Waters. It seems someone working at DHQ in St. John’s has taken it upon themselves to chronicle their time with The Salvation Army in a blog called Santa’s Apprentice. You can follow the blog by clicking here, and so we’re clear. This is Santa’s Apprentice, not [...]

This past Sunday afternoon, the members of Weston Community Church participated in Operation Christmas Child. Last year they filled over 80 boxes and this year they are working towards that same goal. After a delicious potluck lunch complete with perogies and piggies-in-a-blanket, we got down to business. We watched a short video about Operation Christmas [...]

In Summer 2009, cadets Graciela and Jeff Arkell moved to Portage La Prairie where they completed their officership training as the Ministry Leaders for that Corps and Community.

It was sobering to hear John Gillis, MC for the Winnipeg Remembrance Day Service, remind us to thank a veteran and do it soon because on average 77 veterans die everyday in Canada. John is a veteran himself, and he reminds me of a tough Sargeant Major, but on this day he rose to the [...]

Piercings and tattoos are external marks, attempting to communicate a part of who we are. The 235 young men and women from the BC Division gathered at Camp Sunrise were challenged to see the unseen ‘marks’ that Christ places on our hearts when we commit to living a life as a disciple of Christ. Over [...]

Living in a rural community that has a strong agricultural base has certainly led to many blessings here at the Portage La Prairie Corps & Community Services.

We recently held our first fundraiser lunch hosted by the Missions Committee of CFOT. We hosted guests from fellow Cadets, CFOT Staff, Prairie DHQ and Booth College. We were served a generous portion of spaghetti with tasty ceasar salad and garlic toast. To top it all off, we were treated to homemade harvest cupcakes! It [...]
Praying Scripture – Micah 6:8-10
He has shown you,
O mortal, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
Living Scripture - Psalm 25:3
No one who hopes in you
will ever be put to shame.
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).
