New Beginnings!

Greetings in the Name of Jesus!

So here we are on the first of December, 2007. Today brings new beginnings and is a day of change.

I think particularly of TSA and all the new beginnings that have begun today. Today has seen Lt. Cols. John & Judith Jeffrey step into retirement after many years of faithful service to God. I trust that this time will bring great blessing as they celebrate God. I am confident that they will continue to be faithful and hard working for God and His Kingdom. We celebrate with the Jeffrey's and constantly thank God for them! Hallelujah!

Today has also seen the promotion of Majors Raymond & Aylene Finger to the rank of Lt.Col. as they take up their new roles as Chief Secretary and Territorial Secretary for Women's ministries. We celebrate all that God is doing in their lives and look forward with great anticipation as to how God will continue to use them in the future. I am sure that Lt. Cols Raymond & Aylene Finger would appreciate our prayers at this time.

Major Frank Daniels has also stepped into a new role as the Secretary for Personnel. Major Daniels loves God and he loves people. He will be a great blessing to this Territory and I am certain that God will continue to use him greatly in this role. He is a great mentor, leader, Spiritual Director and friend. We praise God for Major Daniels and for all he will achieve in the power of Jesus!

This day also has seen Captain Stephen Court take up a new appointment as Training Principal. We have seen him around the place over these last few days and look forward to all that God will do over these coming day, weeks, months and year(s) at the Training College.

The first of December also brings another new beginning or change. It's SUMMER! And what a beautiful day to start summer on. The weather is amazing. I praise God for His creation and for all that He gives us. I know that you celebrate with me!

It's important and Biblical that we support our leaders in prayer. So as our leaders and friends start their new appointments let's pray for peace, wisdom, strength and grace.
God we celebrate you today and ask your blessing of divine peace, divine wisdom, divine strength and divine grace be with our friends mentioned above. May they work in Your name, for Your Kingdom and to bring You glory. Hallelujah! Amen!
