Today has been one of those days. You know, the kind where the worst you could expect actually happens the way you expected it would, all on the day when you could have done with something much better? Its an occupational hazard for officers to get far too ‘run-ragged’ at Christmas. I’ve really been wondering … More Incarnation
I was leading chapel service in our local prison on Sunday morning. Before the service, the other guys from Prison Fellowship who attend worship were setting out the nativity scene. We discovered that someone had “borrowed” the baby Jesus from the set. Deciding it would be a good opportunity to talk about Christmas without Jesus, … More …but He is still here!
I don’t know how he does it. They blow my mind. Everytime I see pictures of them they are enrolling another draft of soldiers and junior soldiers. Surely Capitans Gerardo and Monica Balmori are quite unique in the Western Salvation Army. They are officers at the Bronx Tremont Corps, NY, USA. We’re linked up via … More The Bronx Blessing!

Its been fun adjusting to a new style of ministry again. For example, other than when covering … More Back! (…..I hope!)
Friends, sincere apologies to regular readers. Internet problems at this end are making regular blogging really difficult. I hope regular ‘service’ will resume very soon. Meanwhile, keep fighting like a warrior. Andrew

The joys of technology! Kids AliveThe war is progressing well on this front at the moment. Our new mid-week ‘Sunday School’ type kids club is … More News on the advance
We’re in a situation here on our front where we have no money (as in much less than zero in our accounts) and we’ve few people (as in soldier fighting force). You could, of course, help us with that by either sending some cash or moving yourself up here, getting a job in our city … More Under the fence
