You will remember a few days ago I posted a bit from Captain Steve Court’s blog about his corps open airs….here is some update on how it has been going recently! “So our open air was interrupted by police responding to complaints about noise tonight. We had to go unplugged midstream but God blessed it … More

“Hmmm…..Army renewal?” I hear you say. “What’s that?” I hear you ask. Well…I guess I mean a lot of things. I believe God birthed The Salvation Army to be a vessel he could use in a powerful way and I think when we walked along his path he used us as that. But its my … More

Hi! Just a fab section of Captain Steve Court’s blog to think about. Its fab: “We didn’t just talk about evangelism and read books on it. We kitted up and headed for the front and never stopped to inquire politely of people “would you like to join us?” We lived out heroic lives amid the … More

So we harrassed the community this afternoon with our first corps motorcade…looked for a moment that the rain might let us down, but the sun did burst through when we stopped for our open airs. We had some mighty speakers blowing out some praise and worship, cars decorated, the whole lot. The benefit of the … More
