Emily's Testimony

Today my daughter Emily (who is 11 years old next month) had her Jr. Soldier renewal day (when she renews her vows to live for God as a Jr. Soldier in The Salvation Army. She asked if she could say something about witnessing, so she gave a short preachamony (part testimony, part preachin'). We had recently talked about the events of Columbine High School and Rachel Scott and what it means to be a Martyr. May this be one of many messages she gives, inside the church, and without!

Commissioners Knaggs appointed to succeed Commissioners Swyers - USA West

COMMISSIONERS JAMES AND CAROLYN KNAGGS, officers of the USA Eastern Territory, currently serving as territorial leaders of the Australia Southern Territory, are appointed as territorial leaders of the USA Western Territory. Commissioner James Knaggs is appointed as Territorial Commander, USA Western Territory, and Commissioner Carolyn Knaggs as Territorial President of Women’s Ministries. They will succeed Commissioners Philip and Patricia Swyers who will be retiring from active service.

Here is a link to a short biography on Commissioners Knaggs.

On a personal note I have follwed some of Commissioner James Knaggs messages at different times this past year. Each time I was encouraged that he appeared to be a man of vision and a desire to see Kingdom growth happening in The Salvation Army.

May God bless His Army, and may we bless God as we are obedient to Him in all things, primarily the bold proclamation of the message of salvation found in Jesus Christ alone.

To God be the Glory - and continue to pray for our Army, it's leaders, it's soldiers, & it's mission!

Junk-mail evangelism - no postage necessary?

Hello all,

Here's a simply evangelism idea I started doing this week. Every time you get one of those annoying junk mail, or credit card offers, just save the envelopes (you know the kind that are no postage necessary).

This week instead of ripping them up, I simply put a gospel tract or two inside, seal it up, (no postage required), and drop it in the mail when I swing by next time.

It's an interesting thought that a company has paid for the United States Postal service to hand deliver a gospel message right into the hands of one of their employees.

It's not near as bold as an open air, or sharing with your friend, family, co-worker, school mate, or stranger you meet during your day (WHICH YOU MUST DO), but it takes just a much time to throw the envelope away, and you never know what God can do with a simple gospel tract opened by the right person, at just the right time.

If companies will spend tons of money to sell you something you don't even need (or want), certainly we can pass on the amazing offer of eternal life through Jesus Christ to someone who is dying to hear it.

Just another way I want to encourage you to share the gospel with everyone you know before Easter! Take the challenge and drop me a line as to how you are doing.
