We’re delighted to continue our coverage on Canadian officers serving in overseas appointments. Meet Majors Brian and Rosalie Peddle, DCs for the Northern Division in New Zealand, Fiji, and Tonga Territory. In the following excerpt, Brian and Rosalie invite us to share with them a little of what their life is like in this most beautiful part of the world.
Majors Rowe currently serve in the South Africa Territory. Major Lyndsay Rowe writes: The Division is rather unique in that it takes includes three countries, The Western Cape Province of South Africa, Namibia, and the South Atlantic Island of St. Helena. There are over four million people in the Division.
Lt. Col. Susan McMillan is currently serving the Lord as Chief Secretary for the South America Territory. She shares her ministry story with us. Please pray for her and those whom she ministers, and remember to be generous with your time and financial resources as you share with Partners in Mission during this Lenten period of self-denial.
During this season of Lent CFOT would like to direct your attention to our sisters and brothers serving in the world. Consider how you might deny yourself in order to provide for others.

Praying Scripture – Jeremiah 33:3-4
“This is what the Lord says,
he who made the earth,

Call to me and I will answer you
and tell you great and unsearchable things
you do not know.”
Living Scripture - 2 Chronicles 1:11-12
God said to Solomon,
“Since this is your heart’s desire
and you have not asked for wealth, riches or honor,
nor for the death of your enemies,
and since you have not asked for a long life
but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people
over whom I have made you king,
therefore wisdom and knowledge shall be given you.
And I will also give you
wealth, riches and honor,
such as no king who was before you ever had
and none after you will have.”

“Ascribe to the LORD
the glory due his name;
bring an offering and come before him.

Living Scripture - Revelation 4:9-11
Whenever the living creatures give glory,
honor and thanks to him
who sits on the throne
and lives forever and ever,
the twenty-four elders fall down before him
who sits on the throne,
and worship him who lives forever and ever.
They lay their crowns before the throne and say:
“You are worthy, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they were created
and have their being.”

“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!
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…
