The Holy Spirit at the Homer Corps today.

Just a quick praise (the sermon will be posted soon)... today duirng a time of singing before the message, the Holy Spirit moved and we had a time of unprompted singing, praying, praising, lifting up voices, crying, and sensing his presence. Several minutes of the pure presence of God encountering his people in pure worship. We know and accpet by faith that God is always there among us and I am not an "emotional" person by nature, so when these special times of the Holy Spirit falling comes, they are precious to me. Thank you God for fallling afresh again, it reminds me that You are the same God who met us here upon our assignment to Homer, and You are not done advancing Your Kingdom. May You continue to move and empower and instruct. May your annointing always be here. May we always be faithful to praise and preach the Name of Jesus and encounter Your Holy Spirit. We serve a Risen Savior! Continue to bless Your Salvation Army for Your Glory!!!

New Corps Officers appointed to Homer - Welcome Lt. Jeff & Lt. Michelle Josephson

Hello soldiers, saints, and friends of The Salvation Army - Homer Corps,

For all who haven't heard yet, Michelle and I are being transferred to Anchorage Alaska to oversee youth work for the state. The good news is that God in His providential care has hand chosen the next officers to lead the work in Homer Alaska.

Lieutenants Jeff and Michelle Josephson were appointed this past Sunday to be the corps officers of our corps. We watched them and their boys, Miah & Ryan, (via streaming video) be given the appointment.

We still have little information about them at this time besides what has been noted in the New Frontier magazine in the "meet the cadets" section.

We will pass on more information about them as soon as possible. Until you know more, pray that they will have a smooth transition from the Training College to their new home in Alaska. Pray that they be shielded from any attack that would cause them doubt, fear, or worry. Pray for their ability to hear God's direction as they lead. Pray they will sense the overwhelming presence of the Holy Spirit as they move into "new things". Finally pray they be filled with boldness to share the gospel with everyone they meet from their first plane ride..... and that their boldness never cease.

We expect God to do even greater things for the Kingdom here in Homer.

Thank you God for those who have gone before us and bless the Bates and the Hoogstads in their ongoing ministry today. God thank you for calling us to what is next. Thank you for calling the Josephsons. Most importantly, although we all play a part, Thank You for making things grow.

Our prayers go out to all the officers and corps in transition.

May God be glorified.

Live holy, preach Jesus.

Jr. Soldier Enrollment - Cyrstal Thielenhaus

Today on my daughter's 7th birthday we enrolled her as a Jr. Soldier. She has been looking forward to this for months. After completing 6 courses on our church history and more importantly basic lessons on salvation and living for Jesus, she was willing to memorize and make this pledge before God.

I asked her to recite her promise again so we could put it on-line for others to enjoy, and maybe even remember their promises (and vows) they have made before the Lord.

This is an amazing promise to make... may we all hold ourselves to this standard for our Savior Jesus Christ. Our Savior is worth it!

To hear her pledge, just click the play arrow below...


Here is the Jr. Soldier promise...

Having asked God for forgiveness, I will trust Him to keep me good.


Because Jesus is my Savior from sin, I will be His loving and obedient child and will try to help others to follow Him.


I promise not to use intoxicating drink, harmful drugs and tobacco.


I promise to pray, to read my Bible, and, by His help, to lead a life that is clean in thought, word and deed.
