Fellowship in Prayer

We attended the usual Thursday morning Global Prayer meeting this morning at Territorial Headquarters. We were pleased to have Major Leong Kok Seng from Kota Kinabalu, Captain Tan Guat Hai from Penang, and Major Amaro Pereira from Myanmar join us.

Good to welcome for the first time Lieut. Colonels Lyndon and Bronwyn  Buckingham from New Zealand the newly appointed Chief Secretary and Territorial Secretary for Women's Ministries,

We were able to divide into three groups to pray for the items listed on the programme.

General Linda Bond encourages all Salvationists to continue praying for our International Salvation Army vision"

One Army - We see a God-raised, Spirit filled Army for the 21stst century - convinced of our calling, moving forward together.

One Mission - Into the world of hurting, broken, lonely, dispossessed and lost, reaching them to love by all means.

One Message - With the transforming message of Jesus bringing freedom, hope and life.

Other topics include countries like Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and around the world where Chinese and ethnic Chinese will be celebrating the Lunar New Year. This list of subjects was long but isn't it wonderful that in prayer,
'We are coming to a King, Large petitions with thee bring,
For His grace and power are such, None can ever ask too much." (John Newton) Thank God for the privilege of prayer. What blessings we received as we joined our friends in prayer.
