Receiving Marching Orders / New Appointments

Hello to Soldiers & Friends of The Salvation Army Homer Corps,

For those who haven't heard yet, my wife Michelle and I have been given marching orders and will be transferred to D.Y.S. (Divisional Youth Secretaries) for Alaska. We have about 6 weeks to pack our personal belongings and make arrangements for those coming after us to continue the work in Homer. Our corps here in Homer does not currently have someone appointed to it, so we can assume that we will be getting a new Lieutenant fresh from the College for Officer Training. I believe a fresh set of officers ready to take this community for Jesus, working in conjunction with a corps of soldiers and members of like mind, will make an impact for God's Kingdom. Know that our hearts will always have a special place for this amazing community.

I now would ask you as soldiers and saints to keep our corps family in prayer as they transition to "next things".

I covet your prayers for Michelle and I as we learn a new ministry with a different type of congregation as we will be involved with helping to train up the soldiers of today and tomorrow through camps and support to the field.

Please pray that we would be bold with the gospel as we enter the next phase of our ministry.

I will plan to keep posting for this blog until our transfer (as time allows), and the next officer may continue the site, and I may continue from another, we will see.

My prayer for the Salvation Army as this next phase of new appointments is upon us, is that every "move" and every "stay" will result in a great harvest of souls won to God's Kingdom.

1 Corinthians 3 speaking of following men in positions of earthly leadership says... What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building.

May God Bless His Salvation Army in Homer.

Live holy, preach Jesus!
