As per Salvation Army regulations, May 1st marked the change to summer dress. Someone obviously forgot to notify the weather of this, as cadets awoke this past Sunday to a Winnipeg that was blanketed in white. Ever the realist, Rob Jeffery chose to give up the option of going “sans” tunic, and it was winter garb as usual.

The CFOT community took advantage of a free Saturday to check out the Narcisse Snake Dens, about 1.5 hours outside of Winnipeg. While Joshua shows us how to handle one snake, it’s a whole different ballgame when there are more than 1,000 snakes.

Under the leadership of Cadet Rebecca Pretty, and the support of the CFOT brass band, over 60 kids and staff from the YMCA daycare enjoyed an afternoon program of singing, music, and dance. It was a natural combination as many of the cadets’ children attend the Y’s daycare program

The Salvation Army recently announced the opening of a College for Officer Training in Malawi. Pictured above is Mj. Sandra Rice presenting an LCD projector to Lt.Col. Wayne Pritchett for the new Malawi CFOT. CFOT Winnipeg counts it a blessing and a privilege to share with the training college in Malawi.

Once a month CFOT hosts a Dress Down Friday, but not everyone in the community checks their daytimer before leaving the house in the morning. One forgetful Captain pictured here improvised with the help of our costume cupboard. The efforts of the CFOT community have helped raise over $6200 to date for Partners in Mission.

Stopping only to digest a handful of trail mix, cadets dutifully study for their upcoming Old Testament Prophets exam. Such study parties are frequent at CFOT these days as we end our regular classes and prepare for exams. Studying is a way of life both at CFOT and in the field, as officers dedicate their lives to the study of God’s word.

On Saturday March 29th, people around the world observed what has become known as Earth Hour, an initiative created by the WWF (World Wildlife Fund, not World Wrestling Federation). This is a day when earth’s citizens were asked to turn off the electricity in their homes and businesses for one hour between 8:00pm-9:00pm local time.

Eats and Exegetes. The first word is easily understood, but what does “exegetes” mean? Exegesis simply means to study texts. Cadet Lynda Wakelin shares with us about this unique group that meets once a month over lunch to discuss the issues of the day.
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…
