We all look forward to the official opening of the Balestier Corps building at Balestier Road. It will be Back to Balestier on 11th November 2011.
On Thursday morning we attended the Global Prayer meeting. In the afternoon, two comrades from Balestier Corps came to consult me reading the video the Corps is making for the opening. Balestier has an interesting history. I began my spiritual journey at the age of five when together with my two older siblings, we attended our first meeting in 1937
We looked through the old photographs and it brought a sense of nostalgia. What memories. We are planning for next week when we shall be visiting the area where the Corps began -
Kim Keat Road where the Army started a Home for Delinquent Boys,
Lorong Limau where they had the first Outpost Sunday school in the home of Mr. and Mrs Syd Henson and also open air meetings.
Balestier Road where the Army rented a shophouse for the Corps.
Martaban Road where we first put up an atap hut, them bought over the land and put up a building in 1961.
Towner Road where we had a kindergarten to raise funds for the building.
