In our younger days we travelled a lot in the course of duty. It has been our privilege to serve not only in our home country, but also overseas. We have met many friends - some we met then we parted and that's the end of it; some keep contact, stay connected and remain as friends. Nowadays with modern technology, it is easy to connect with each other.
Among our many friends who visited us during the week were Commissioner Robin Dunster former Chief of Staff of The Salvation Army and her friend Colonel Edna Williams. They served for many years in Africa and in recent years in the Philippines, the Commissioner as the Territorial Commander. We met for the first time in 2003 when they came for the Zonal Conference. Since then we have kept in touch.
It was our privilege to have lunch with them. In the same company were Lieut. Colonels Paul and Evelyn Posadas recently appointed to our territory. Joining us were our friends Major Pascoe and Sister Janet Ong. What a great time we had during our lunch fellowship at Food Haven.
We were truly blessed. Good friends when we meet each other always encourage each other. The eight of us share the same mission - to bring glory to God as we carry out our mission of 'saving souls, growing saints and serving suffering humanity.
What would we do without friends who care and support each other? Thank God for friends.
