The Salvation Army is Marching Along

Coming home and jumping into work and ministry with both feet has been both exhausting and a blessing!  We come off from a weekend that is almost indescribable.  Being an officer in the Salvation Army I am humbled at the amount of trust and responsibility that has been given us.  First Joan Kroc whose long association with the Army led her to leave a large legacy to help bring hope to the less fortunate within our communities through the Army.

The soldiers and officers at Salem have been diligent and responsive to God and to community leaders and residence as plans for this center have developed.  God is now blessing their labors and the people of Salem.  I just pray that through all of this that individuals souls are won to the Kingdom.

Don and I had the privilege of being a part of helping to set the course of the center through the dedication ceremonies of the weekend.  Again, God's blessing fell when he gave all of the events perfect weather.

I am humbled in the presence of God's working out his purposes through people, circumstances, and structures.

A few pictures that I remembered to take (I missed a lot of good opportunites for great photos).

The Western Territorial Youth Band participated and presented

quality and contemporary music.

The media coverage was thorough and encouraging--even reporting favorably on the spiritual aspect

the facilities.

 

Sunday morning meetings were tremendous with about 365 or so in attendance.

The march over from the old facilities was inspiring!
