We are looking forward to our visit to Central Corps again next Sunday 7th November to conduct the Self Denial Altar Service. The Corps Officer Captain Lim Chee Kwee (pastor) will be away with a group to tour the Holy Land and we are glad of the privilege given to preach the word.
Scenes from our television screens scream at us everyday. Volcanic eruption, Mountain spewing our lava and ashes bring death and destruction; earthquakes destroyed homes and crops! Floods claimed victims! Refugees fleeing scenes of fighting! Hunger, thirst, starvation, disease, death, the list goes on.
We live in a suffering world and The Salvation Army and other volunteer charitable organisations try their best to do their small part in this tear drenched world of ours. We hear the cries for help coming from everywhere.
Where does the Army get its funds from? The public has been very generous, but we appeal to all Salvationists and fellow Christians to set aside a portion of your salary this month and give that to our Self Denial Fund. The money collected goes into an international fund which is used only for work in third world countries.
We in this region enjoy a fairly high standard of living. Let us spare a thought and dig deep into our pockets and put our contribution into the Self Denial envelope. We claim that we care, so let us share. The first lesson in the school of Christ is SELF DENIAL.
Our Missionary Altar Service will be held at every Corps (church) on Sunday 7th November 2010
