I read again in Floyd McClung’s book ‘You See Bones – I see and Army’ the quote “the person with a vision is never at the mercy of people without one.” I was in a coffee shop, having driven the 100 miles to our nearest car servicing garage, and nwow filling up the 5 hour … More Vision Alive
Started off our door-to-door prayer ministry this afternoon. The basic idea is that we make contact with people in their homes and ask if they want prayer for anything. Tracy did some prep last week and delivered a copy of the War Cry to one of the streets in the town. I followed on today … More Get Praying
I’ve just been sitting here enjoying one of my new Christmas pressies and realised its 2.40am! My other half bought me the complete NIV Bible on CD and I got hooked on listening. It’s something I’ve been wanting for a while, especially for the car and for places where there’s no light. The audio accompanying … More The Word
The Lord has laid on my heart that we should aim for 10 new soldiers and 20 junior soldiers by Christmas 2008. What does this involve? It will involve deeper discipleship and decisions for some of the people on our fringes, it will involve soldiership being portrayed in a different light for some, it will … More Give us faith for souls
Just reminding you to keep praying for the General. Its an old Army tradition going back donkeys years to pray for the General at noon (whoever he/she may be)…its a tradition worth bring back, especially for times like this. We must never underestimate the influence and encouragement the office of the General brings to Salvationists … More The General

The glory has departed.” Can it be true? How do we rectify? PS ‘ichabod’ is Hebrew for ‘the glory has departed’
Just happened to be looking at a list of corps in the West Scotland division, my home division. There are 31 corps in the division today, albeit that there are two or three on their way out, sadly. When I became a Salvationist in 1995 there were 51 corps. 20 corps closed in 12 years … More Where is the Scottish Salvation Army going?
Our CSM read the words of this song in his announcements on Sunday.
Having just posted about an hour ago that I wasn’t going to be blogging as regularly, here I go again. I am sensing a change in myself that I am so relieved about. I’ve had this before…I had it when I went to training college. I am going to try and explain it because maybe … More Reflection 2 – changing roles
Here is a request for prayer from our good friends Richard and Heidi, who run the Salvation Army’s Chikankata Mission hospital in Zambia. Please pray up some strong protecting walls around them, and ask the Lord to post a few warring angels on those walls!______________________________________________________________________________there is a lot of magic and witchcraft taking place around … More Prayer Request from Chikankata Mission
