CONCISE PRAYER UPDATE 💕
I Am has sent us,
• To engage young people, developing youth and youth serving organizations, to empower, mentor and be advocates for young people in order to facilitate the stirring up of their gifts so that they may play their roles in the Universal Church.
This year God enabled us to serve in the following areas (multiple times in most areas):
Locally:
· 11 Brethren Assemblies
· 3 Non-Brethren Churches
· 12 para church & service organizations and
· 2 Schools
We have been ministering to the aforementioned mainly in the
area of:
- · Youth
Development
Having mentioned "Cadets" please forgive me for confusing you with pictures of me in uniform.
No, it does not mean that I went back to work in the “army” because I was never a soldier. However, I serve the TTCF in a
volunteer capacity as an adult officer as I have done for the past 38 years (20 years from Adult Sgt to Captain
and 18 years in my current rank as Major) I have been serving
“officially” as a Chaplain for the past 8 years.
