Installation of Team Ministry

To day marks the official beginning of a Team Minsitry at William Booth Corps (church). The appointments of Lieutenants Alwin and Dolly Jayabalan from India brings the team to five under the leadership of Major Ruth Pascoe. The other members of the team are Aux. Captains Raymond and Cathy Aloba.

The area of responsibility covers the western side of Singapore - Bukit Batok, Bukit Panjang and here at Upper Bukit Timah.  The Lieutenants will be in charge of Eratchippu Corps Tamil ministry and assist the Major in other areas. Aux. Captain Raymond sees mainly to the youth ministry and Cathy for the Bukit Panjang Family and Youth Centre.

The Territorial Commander Colonel Gillian Downer was here today to install the team.

Einstein wrote, "The sum is greater than its parts". A team can contribute more toward the goal or outcome than one individual."

It is good to have a team under one leader. "There is one body and one Spirit--just as you were called to one hope when you were called" Ephesians 4: 4

We were privilege to join in worship this morning. One of the songs sung today was written by former Geneal John Gowans- "They shall come from the East, they shall come from the west and sit down at the Kingdom of God." Let's work together for the Glory of God and one day we shall all sit in the Kingdom of God in Heaven to enjoy Him forever.

They shall come from the east,
they shall come from the west,
And sit down in the Kingdom of God;
Both the rich and the poor,
the despised, the distressed,
They'll sit down in the Kingdom of God.
And none will ask what they have been
Provided that their robes are clean;
They shall come from the east,
they shall come from the west,
And sit down in the Kingdom of God.
2.
They shall come from the east,
they shall come from the west,
And sit down in the Kingdom of God;
To be met by their Father and welcomed and blessed,
And sit down in the Kingdom of God.
The black, the white, the dark, the fair,
Your color will not matter there;
They shall come from the east,
they shall come from the west,
And sit down in the Kingdom of God.
3.
They shall come from the east,
they shall come from the west,
And sit down in the Kingdom of God;
Out of great tribulation to triumph and rest
They'll sit down in the Kingdom of God.
From every tribe and every race,
All men as brothers shall embrace;
They shall come from the east,
they shall come from the west.
And sit down in the Kingdom of God.
