Changes of appointment

The news that has just been released brought some big surprises! Our Chief Secretary and TSWM Lieut. Colonels Bob and Wendy Lee are caught in this wave of international changes and will be leaving us in the new year - Their appointments as C.S and TSWM in the Philippines will take effect from 1st February 2013.

We shall miss them. We pray God's special blessing on them as they move to the Philippines.

My wife and I served in the Philippines for three years (1990 to 1993) as the Territorial Leaders and we find Philippines a most challenging appointment. We also proved His grace sufficient.

We look forward to welcome Lieut. Colonels Lyndon and Bronwyn Buckingham from New Zealand as our new Chief Secretary and TSWM.

From experience we have proved God's timing perfect. We look back to our appointments since 1954 in Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines and finally in London responsible for South Pacific and East Asia Zone, all arranged in the right order. God is great, God is good, God is gracious and we know He is in perfect control.

God is still on the throne,
And He will remember His own;
Tho’ trials may press us and burdens distress us,
He never will leave us alone;
God is still on the throne,
He never forsaketh His own;
His promise is true, He will not forget you,
God is still on the throne. (K L Suffield)
