We had the loan of the THQ car and I drove to Changi Corps this morning. We had not visited this Corps for more than a year. What a joy it was to visit the folk there.
Lovely to meet old friends like Johnny and Emelie Wee formerly of Balestier Corps. Emelie and family were my neighbours in Lorong Limau in the 1940's and 1950's! What a delight to meet Charles and Helen Lim and their lovely family also former Balestier folk. Charles' father Norman Lim was my Sunday School teacher before the war!
During the meeting I conducted the 'reaffirmation of marriage vows' by Patrick and Diana. They were married some years back in the registry but now they are Christians they wanted God to bless their marriage.
At the moment the Corps Officer (pastor) Lieut. Colonel Prema Rajan is on homeland furlough, so the Corps folk are managing on their own under the leadership of Corps Sergeant Major Low Mul Lan who is also the Executive Director of Peacehaven Nursing Home. The Corps is blessed to have Captain Hary, the Territorial Youth Secretary as one of the soldiers, He has been doing a lot of preaching during this period at this Corps.
Let us all pray for Changi Corps. It has gone through a very difficult time, but we have a nucleus of very devout soldiers who keep the old Army flag flying. We thank God for the privilege of ministering to the folk at Changi.
