We were privileged to join our fellow officers for a meeting at Territorial Headquarters. This was held to welcome Commissioners Alistair and Astrid Herring the new Zonal Leaders. They are on their official visit to our territory and at the time of writing are visiting the Myanmar Region accompanied by the Territorial Commander, Colonel Gillian Downer.
The world wide Salvation Army is divided into five zones - Africa, Americas and Caribbean, Europe, South Asia and South Pacific and East Asia. The Singapore/Malaysia/Myanmar Territory come under the SPEA Zone. Each zone is headed by a Commissioner with the designation of International Secretary.
We first came to know the Commissioners some 25 years ago when the were captains. They were among the delegates to the New Zealand Brengle Institute where my wife and I were invited to be the speakers. Brengle Institute is actually a Holiness retreat for officers.
During the officers' meeting on Wednesday, Commissioner Astrid Herring gave a brief summary of the happenings in the zone using power point. It was most interesting to see what is happening around our zone.
Commissioner Alistair Herring gave the message emphasising on the importance of the Holy Spirit in our lives. We were truly blessed as we met in fellowship on Wednesday.
After the meeting we share lunch together.
