Salvationist influence

Have you read the War Cry - the official organ of The Salvation Army? It is a well produced monthly magazine for the territory of Singapore,Malaysia and Myanmar. On the front cover of the December issue is the picture of two girls - the older one, the pretty teen ager is Bernice Tong, eldest daughter of Danny and Siew Kim Tong. The whole family worships at Changi Corps (church) I've known Danny for more than 40 years. He was originally from Ipoh. It's always a joy to meet this lovely Christian family who gives good witness to the Christian faith.

What a joy to watch him grow up, married a lovely lady from Kallang Corps and now have four children - Bernice, Eunice, Glennice and Philemon. Glennice was named after Major Glennice Bonnar wife of the former General Secretary Major Ken Bonnar.

There are quite a number of Salvationist children named after reinforcement officers. Our local folk admire the dedication of our overseas friends serving in this country and want their children to grow up to be like these dedicated missionaries.

Well this year on Christmas Day my wife and I will be conducting the meeting at Changi. We are looking forward to this day to join our Changi folk in worship.
