I enjoyed time with the Christmas kettle and packing and delivering hampers, and Christmas hampers were quite new to me. I could see how the Salvation Army works in local community. For this Christmas, I had a special experience. It was about [...]

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.

What if I already have my degree in Theology, Biblical Studies etc. when I come to CFOT? It’s a common question, and one I asked 9 years ago when I went to Training College with a completed theology degree. It isn’t a quick answer, but here are a few things to consider. First, training isn’t [...]
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).
