We were delighted to welcome Mrs. Colonel Alice Lau to our Corps (Church), no more as visitor but as a soldier (Salvation Army terminology for full member) for she has farewelled from Hong Kong and come to live with her son Michael and daughter-in-law Gina in Singapore.
My wife and I have known her since 1983 when when we were appointed to Hong Kong/Taiwan Command. At that time she as her husband Captain James Lau were stationed in Taiwan as the Divisional Commander. Their two sons, Michael and Kenneth were still in School.
Later they were appointed to Hong Kong as the Field Secretary responsible for our evangelical work. A few years later they were transferred to Singapore/Malaysia Command, first as General Secretary, then promoted to Officer Commanding.
Colonel James Lau's final appointment was Officer Commanding of Hong Kong/Taiwan Command. He was promoted to Glory while still in active service. Mrs. Lau retired and lived in Hong Kong till last Saturday 10th March when she moved to Singapore. Mrs. Lau was the President of Women's Ministries.
Mrs. Colonel Lau is a very gracious, friendly and godly lady. She is well loved by folk in Singapore. Kenneth and family live in USA. Michael Lau is our Corps Sergeant Major.
