We went with the cadets and Lieut. Colonel Prema Rajan to the airport to welcome our new Territorial Commander.
My wife and I welcomed her the first time to the Philippines in 1992. She was then Captain Gillian Downer and we appointed her as the Social Services Secretary. She did well and was well loved by the comrades in the Philippines. She was hands on person and personally supervised relief operations all over the territory.
Then on 1st November 2000,(we were retired by then)we joined our comrades to welcome her to the Command as the General Secretary.
What a joy it was for us to welcome her yesterday as our Territorial Commander. She assumes responsibility on 1st July.
She has a challenging task ahead of her and we all need to pray for her that the Lord will grant her wisdom, grace and strength. We know she will continue with the good work left by Colonels Keith and Beryl Burridge.
