General Linda Bond after her visit to Myanmar came to Singapore. A meeting was held at the Singapore Central Corps on Monday evening. She gave a very powerful message challenging the people to be true to our mission of saving souls, growing saints and serving suffering humanity.
The combined band conducted by Bandmaster David Lim of Central Corps accompanied the singing.
The William Booth Corps worship team was also on duty.
It was also the farewell of our Territorial Commander Colonel Gillian Downer who will be leaving for London to take up her new appointment as the International Secretary for South Pacific and East Asia with the rank of Commissioner. (I held this appointment from 1993-1997) She is my tenth successor. We retired from this position 16 years ago.
Unfortunately my wife was not able to attend this special meeting. Earlier on in the day, it was necessary for her to go to National University Hospital. The doctors detained her for the night for observation. She underwent a series of tests on Monday.
She was discharged this afternoon and is now home resting. As age creeps up on us, different parts of the body deteriorate. We thank God for excellent medical facilities, efficient medical staff that provide good medical care for the people. Ultimately it is God who gives healing and we thank God for His love and goodness.
We were sorry we missed the Officers' councils held this morning. The General was the speaker and I understand our colleagues who were there testified of blessings received.
