We were invited to attend the annual Officers' Fellowship held at the La Grandeur Hotel, Johor, Malaysia. We had a great time. Our guests this year were Commissioners Robert and Janet Street, retired UK Officers.
We first met them in England when he was the Divisional Commanders at Norwich, England.
We were invited to speak at the Divisional Soldiers' Rally held at the Norwich Corps in March 1997, shortly before we left England for retirement. We stayed with them for the night. The next morning we did the Sunday's meetings at the Norwich corps. Major and Mrs. Barry Wilson were the Corps Officers.
Commissioner Robert Street has been a Salvation Army Officer for more than 40 years, during which time he has served at Corps, Divisional, territorial and international levels. As an author and editor he enjoys communicating the truths of the Christian faith in an easy-to understand style and has written numerous books. Mrs. Street, formerly Janet Adams has been an officer for the same number of years and a great support to her husband.
We found the couple to be very humble people and integrated freely with the officers young and old. We certainly have been much blessed in the fellowship.
We were at the Retreat from Monday 23rd to Thursday 26th November. We thank God for this special privilege to be part of the group.
