Contacts with friends

Last Saturday was the wedding of Lieutenants Andrew Lo and Fiona Loh in Ipoh. We had to decline the invitation as we had committed ourselves to conduct the service at William Booth Corps. We are glad we can still be of service. These young Lieutenants now run two appointments - Ipoh Boys' Home and Ipoh Corps (church).

The previous week there was the celebration of 75th anniversary of the work of the Army in Penang. As former officers were were invited but had to decline. We thank God for the privilege of ministering to our Central Corps folks.

We've travelled a lot during active service and it's lovely to stay home. We still keep busy in the Lord's business. We have more time to spend on the word of God and prayer.

My wife sends out a lot of cards and e-cards to wish friends on their birthdays and wedding anniversaries. In all our appointments in Corps, Social and at Headquarters she always made it a point to remember special days of friends and relatives.

During the four years stationed at International Headquarters, as Zonal Secretary of Women's Ministries, she made it a point to send cards to all the Territorial and Command Leaders. Even in retirement she still keeps this ministry. Now with the Internet, it's so much easier just to send e-cards at no cost at all.

Isn't it wonderful with modern technology we can keep contact with our many friends all over the world.
