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. On October 3, the corps held its annual harvest sale. A couple weeks prior to the sale, Graciela and I were busy sending letters to local farmers and [...]

As well, three men from the mens group cooked for the event. Cadet Graciela Arkell, the leader of the group and Portage La Prairie Corps writes, “It was good! Our guest [...]

Rose and I will never forget our experience in Bishop’s Falls Newfoundland. We will always cherish the friendships we made there and the beauty of the island. There seems to be a rule that a plate of food is not full until the gravy pours over the side and it is not thoroughly enjoyed until [...]

About two months ago in Portage La Prairie a teen girl was attacked on her way home one night from a friend’s house. Doctors had to perform emergency brain surgery to save the young girls life after she was beaten and left in a junk yard in Portage. I was shocked to hear such a [...]

I love camping ministry!!! Kathy and I spent the final two weeks of our summer assignment at Newport Adventure Camp (NAC). Leading campers in their daily Bible devotions gave us the immense privilege of influencing their view of the world and of themselves. Campers were challenged to reflect on the question, “Where is God at [...]

This has proven to be a way of meeting people in our community and an opportunity to influence the lives of others. Through these programs we have the opportunity to interact with people who have [...]

“Be Prepared”. Many of you, like me, will recognize this motto from your youth in Girl Guides. While leading daily camper devotions at Newport Adventure Camp, Phil and I received a phone call from our host officers, during which they informed us that they (and therefore we) had been called upon to lead a funeral [...]

God has continued to bless us during our time here in Bishop’s Falls, NL. As I visit and get to know the people, I realize that many are hurting out there. Several ladies, who had been Salvationists for years, were going through enormous trials and were beginning to doubt their salvation. I felt very privileged [...]

Praying Scripture – Jeremiah 33:3-4
“This is what the Lord says,
he who made the earth,
the Lord who formed it and established it -
the Lord is his name:
Call to me and I will answer you
and tell you great and unsearchable things
you do not know.”
Living Scripture - Psalm 111:10
The fear of the Lord
is the beginning of wisdom;
all who follow his precepts
have good understanding.
To him belongs eternal praise.
Praying Scripture – Jeremiah 33:3-4
“This is what the Lord says,
he who made the earth,
the Lord who formed it and established it -
the Lord is his name:
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.”
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 - Revelation 22:8
I, John, am the one who heard
and saw these things.
And when I had heard and seen them,
I fell down to worship
at the feet of the angel
who had been showing them to me.
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 - 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.”
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!
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…
