One of the highlights of my summer assignment in Winnipeg at the HPT has been getting to know the people! Peter and I have been attending HPT since last Sept. and it has been a blessing to begin developing deeper and more personal relationships as a result of our full-time ministry there. It has been a [...]

Robert’s Arm is a town of about 900 people north-west from St. John’s in Newfoundland. It is surrounded by beautiful landscape and sits on the banks of Crescent Lake. I have been struck every time I drive into the town by the glory of God’s creation. I find myself pausing a moment to give thanks [...]

Go West young man! That is what CFOT said by letting me know I would be crossing to the other side of ‘the island’ following Commissioning and heading to Corner Brook Temple for my summer assignment. I have to say that the 7 ½ hour drive went well even though rain and clouds were the [...]

As a session, we all heard about the Prayer Warriors summer assignment last year, and what an enriching, affirming and challenging experience it was for them. We were assured the same would be true for the Ambassadors of Holiness this year. Then, of course, there was the added excitement that starting building in April when many [...]

When I am at the quarters, I get up quite often to look out the living room window. Acro ss the street is the Corps building and the ocean. I’ve never seen the ocean before coming to Newfoundland. I am in awe – I have never seen anything like it! Each time I look at it [...]

Song: #459 “Tell Me What To Do To Be Pure” This song was has been a favorite of mine for a number of years. It reminds me of my own sinfulness and the sinfulness that envelopes our world causing death, destruction and disharmony in homes and yes; even in the church. Each verse is rich [...]

Song 615 “Mid all the Traffic” This song means more to me now then ever before. I remember hearing it for the first time while playing in my home corps band. Not really paying attention to the words or meaning but to its wonderful tune. Then I recall my bandmaster taking the time to read [...]

“I’ve been a bandsman for as long as I can remember. And while God has blessed me immensely through that ministry, there’s one downside. You don’t get opportunity to sing the songs. I could hum the tune to pretty much any hymn book number, but when I try and recall the words, they don’t come [...]

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…
