It was a great day, a day of blessings as we shared the Word with our Balestier comrades. It is Palm Sunday - we recall the day when Jesus entered Jerusalem in triumph to the shouts of "Hossana to the Son of David. Blessed in the name of the Lord is He who comes. Hossana in the highest."
How thrilled we were to see the lovely people of Balestier. Some have been in the church for many years, from before the war and they are still loving and serving the Lord. Auntie Jean as she is called, was a five year old girl when I first knew her. We were in Sunday school together way back in 1937!
Many of our peers have gone, but we are still on our pilgrim journey.
We met many new friends who started coming to the church since Captain Hary was appointed. Two were from a mega church, but after being introduced to The Salvation Army through our Kallang Centre now worship with us. They will be enrolled as 'Salvation Army soldiers' next Sunday by our Territorial Commander Colonel Gillian Downer. They find they have a ministry in our church.
God is blessing the church. Former Salvationists are returning home.
To God be the glory, great things He has done!
Thought: "We cannot organize revival, but we can set our sails to catch the winds of heaven."
