Frontlines Victoria, B.C. The Victoria Citadel Youth Team (band, chorus and drama group) visited Hong Kong's Kowloon Central Corps for its 5oth anniversary in April. The trip was the second half of an exchange visit by the Hong Kong group in Victoria Citadel young people Sydney, N.S. Members of Sydney CC set a high target in increasing their Self-Denial Appeal goal for 2001 to $3,000-up from $2,500 raised in 2000. Three men gave it their all in helping to achieve this year's goal. Cpl Morris Vincent, CO, had his head shaved; Cpl Paul Blake, then assistant CO, had his beard shaved; and Ron Andrews had his hair dyed purple. The event generated a lot of excitement and enthusiasm in the corps, as well as helping to raise $4,200,-$1,200 over the goal. Well done! Stephenville, Nfld. Young people of Stephenville CC were guest musicians for Canada Day celebrations at the Stephenville Dome. They provided music and led the singing of O Canada, after which they entertained for two hours. The group wore special T-shirts and Stephenville young people 4 The War Cry • November 200 I April 1999. The 23 Canadians were warmly received during four days of exciting ministry which included concerts, rallies, openair meetings, worship services and banquets. Both band and chorus presented a variety of items reflecting the theme ''The Cpt Morris Vincent gets "clipped" by Margie Dargel witnessed through the performing of Christian music. Fraser Hayward, Andrew O'Regan, Ashlee Warford, Stephanie O'Brien, Heidi Ash, Melissa Day, Natasha O'Brien, Danika Kung, April Boyd and Elizabeth Boyd participated. Joy of the Lord." Drama items demonstrated the freedom found in Christ and the joy of working together in ministry. Highlights of the trip included a fun-packed youth rally, audience participation in O Happy Day performed at the anniversary banquet and the response to the appeal on Sunday morning by Lt-Col Ian Southwell, CO, Kowloon Central Corps. Accompanying the young people on the trip were Mjr Ernie Reid, CO, Victoria Citadel; Cpl Stephen Cameron, CO, High Point CC; Divisional BM Roy Cornick and Bill Adams, youth worker.

People Centenarian celebrates life Amidst family and friends at Toronto's Meighen Retirement Residence's annual family picnic, Brigadier Emily Eacott celebrated her 100th birthday. Born September 11, 1901, the brigadier entered into a relationship with Jesus Christ early in her life and dedicated herself to His service. She was commissioned as an officer in The Salvation Army on June 29, 1929, and ministered in Digby and then Lunenburg, N.S. These appointments preceded what was to be a long and distinguished career in the Army's women's social services department. She was sent to Halifax Grace Hospital, then Catherine Booth Hospital in Montreal and then to what was to become the love of her life, Faith Haven in Windsor, Ont. A home for Brg Emily Eacott with great-niece Mjr Gillian Brown during birthday celebrations unmarried mothers, Faith Haven was a place of compassion, love and service ro which the brigadier returned three times throughout her officership. She helped the girls who came to Faith Haven, often in distress and without caring family, to find all the characteristics of true motherhood. Brigadier Eacott arrived at retirement age in 1961, but chose to continue serving as an officer until 1963, when she retired. At the time of her retirement, she gave her testimony to a newspaper reporter and said: "My religion means to me a simple, trusting faith in the Lord Jesus as my Saviour and His presence in my life." At the celebration of her 100th birthday, Brigadier Eacott received greetings from Queen Elizabeth II, Governor General Adrienne Clarkson, Prime Minister Jean Chretien, Premier Mike Harris, General John Gowans and Commissioner Bill Luttrell, territorial commander. D From notes supplied by Commissioner Arthur Pitcher and Personnel Department Still giving to society Major Thelma Worthylake celebrated her 90th birthday and is an active Salvationist at Toronto's Bloor Central Corps. A longtime LOM/CCM worker, she assists with services conducted by the corps at a seniors' residence and regularly visits "old folk" at another residence. Major Worthylake participates in services at the corps and is always ready with a prayer, testimony or to counsel a seeker at the mercy seat. Until recently, she was involved with a reading program at a public school where she assisted children with reading difficulties. Born in Nova Scotia, the major was first attracted to The Salvation Army when listening to an open-air meeting in Westville. At 13, she gave her heart to God and became active in Army programs. Commissioned in 1943, she was appointed to a girls' home and then served in several corps appointments before 1958 when she was transferred to correctional services. For more than 16 years Major Worthylake devoted her energies to helping women in trouble with the law. She assisted them in many ways, including the notification of families and showing that someone cared. She was respected by court personnel as evidenced by remarks made by a judge at Major Worthylake's farewell meeting: "We were able to turn to the major on many occasions and she never failed to come to our rescue." In later years due to a hereditary eye problem, Major Worthylake's eyesight failed and she was registered as blind with the CNIB. She learned to cope with the difficulties of day-to-day living and organized a social dub there for those in similar situations, arranged guest speakers and led the gatherings. Only eternity will show the extent of her Christian influence over the years. D Catherine Ward In June 2000, Diane Gyorfi moved to Trail, B.C., looking for a fresh start and new opportunities. She had been sick and unemployable for a few years and was eagerly seeking employment. Volunteering her time anywhere or for anyone was not an option for Diane. She needed an income and felt she couldn't waste her time by giving her work skills for free. Armed with a folder of resumes, Diane endeavoured to find work. Her search for employment took her down the street where The Salvation Army thrift store is located. The sign on the door read: "Volunteers wanted. Apply within." "As I started to walk away," she says, "an indescribable feeling washed over me and I felt I needed to go in and apply to volunteer." In spite of her need for employment, Diane found herself walking in the door and has been volunteering with the Army ever since. "Never did I expect to get more from my volunteering work than I give," she says. "Volunteering has given me a sense of pride and humility. There is total acceptance for who and what I am, and I feel safe and welcome. At the same time, I can be free about my relationship with God and find the atmosphere very spiritual in nature." A recovering addict, Diane was honoured when the thrift store manager and a volunteer colleague joined in the celebration marking her three years of dean time. ''After years of taking resources from my community, it is a blessing to be able to give back," she says. "You truly get so much more than you give when you give freely of yourself" November 200 I • The War Cry 5

I n July, the anadian • raff Band 1111derroo k a successftd two-week mur of ew Zealand and Australia. Ir was che band's second cri p co ch is pan: of the world having visited there previously in 1985. Arriving in Auckland on the first Saturday, the band boarded a bus for the shore trip to Hamilton, where a lunchtime concert had been arranged at a shopping mall. Unfortunately the instruments and music folders had not arrived as scheduled, and it looked like it would have to be cancelled. Not to be deterred, BM Brian Burditt and New Zealand Music Secretary Stephen Stein met quickly with the local corps bandmaster. Phone calls were made, and soon local bandsmen turned up with instruments and music for the Canadian visitors. Much to the delight of local Salvationists, the mall concert took place, though not quite as planned. The event seemed to set the tone for the band's tour, with many favourable comments received throughout the two weeks of the CSB's willingness to "go with the flow" regardless BENEATH THE Canadian Staff Band campaigns "down under" of the obstacles. It was truly a tribute to the spirit of the bandsmen. Fortunately, the instruments arrived in time for the evening concert, held in a packed citadel before an enthusiastic audience. Upon arrival in Rotorua for the Sunday evening, the band was treated to a traditional Maori challenge, which was of great interest to the bandsmen. This part of the North Island is considered the Maori cultural centre. We had opportunity to sightsee the following morning before heading off to the next port of call, the coastal city of Hastings. Items featured in our nightly programs included Buglers' Holiday, Timepiece (duetists Robert Miller and Ivor Snell), Finale from William Tell Overture (arr. Dean Coffin) and Brass Presentation (B. Moren). On Tuesday, the band visited the capital city of Wellington, where it was hosted Below: The Hoki, a traditional Maori greeting, in Rotorua; right: Paul Robertson and Brian Burditt greet listeners at Hamilton mall concert by members of the famous Wellington City Band under the leadership of long-serving BM Eric Geddes. While in Wellington, association was renewed with Colonels Robert and Gwenyth Redhead, Canadian officers currently serving as chief secretary and territorial secretary for women's organizations in New Zealand. With this in mind, BM Brian Burditt included Colonel Robert Redhead's work Parakletos in the evening concert, with the composer conducting the piece to conclude the evening. The band responded and presented a most moving performance, which will remain in our memory as one of those special musical occasions that only comes along once in a while. The following morning saw the band at Wellington airport bright and early for the flight to Sydney. Graeme Press, territorial music secretary, Australia Eastern Territory,

( ' SOUTHERN CROSS by Staff Bandsman Stan Ewing had arranged for the band to present a "Krazy Kids Koncert" at Dulwich Hill Corps that same evening. This was a fun night with approximately 200 young people and their parents in attendance. BM Brian Burditt and Graeme Press had planned an easygoing evening including musical games with the band. A "conduct the band" competition was held in which two young people were invited to conduct a march, the winner being selected using the "applause metre" approach. CSB baseball caps and CDs were handed out as prizes. Contemporary arrangements to suit this event were presented, including Shine Down and Make His Praise Glorious. Noel Samuels amazed the audience with his technical dexterity playing Flight of the Bumblebee on the tuba. One or two of the "comedians" in the band offered special items, including Major Norman Garcia's party piece Carnival of Venice Variations, in which he plays the cornet while accompanying himself with his left hand playing the piano. The kids loved it, and the whole evening sent a signal to the young people that banding can be fun. A devotional talk was included near the end, presented by Dave Moulton. The weekend in Sydney included a mall concert and a dinner with the Sydney Staff Songsters. There the band had a chance to sample some "traditional" Australian fare including kangaroo, crocodile and baby octopus. An evening concert was presented at the nearby city of Newcastle, prior to the Saturday night festival at Sydney Congress Hall. A packed house greeted the band as they presented items which included soloists Major Kevin Metcalf (Blessed Assurance), Major Norman Garcia (Song of Exultation), Deputy BM Kevin Hayward (Joshua), and Robert Miller (Better World). During the weekend, time was made available for sightseeing, including a trip to the Blue Mountains and the famous Sydney Harbour boat tour. Our second week commenced on the Monday with a visit to the capital city of Canberra, where a concert was given at the impressive Canberra School of Music auditorium. Items added to the regular program included The Canadian and Wim Left: Noel Samuels; below: Andrew Burt with a new friend Kruyt's arrangement of the Boellmann Toccata. This was the last stop in New South Wales. The next day the band journeyed to the city of Mildura, in the heart of the Australian winemaking region in Victoria. There we linked up with two Melbourne Staff Bandsmen, Geoff Thomas and Shaun Maxfield, who had been assigned to drive the equipment truck for the remainder of the tour. Wednesday was a travelling day, which meant a long bus trip to the city of Adelaide. Before leaving, the band was taken on a paddle-wheeler boat tour along the so-called "mighty'' Murray River. The longest river in Australia, it provides the Mildura area with much needed water for the agriculture industry.

Adelaide is renowned for its wide streets and gracious colonial architecture, and upon arrival that afternoon, time was available for sightseeing and shopping in the downtown area. This was followed by a dinner at Adelaide Congress Hall hosted by the corps band. The next evening, we presented our concert to another full hcuse, responding to the warm welcome with another high quality musical performance. Ballarat was the destination on Friday, which meant another long bus trip taking up much of the day. Interest on the bus was maintained by a regular daily feature called "CSB Radio-All music, all the time." Hosted by Major Norman Garcia and friends, the entertainment featured stories and impersonations of bandsmen. A group that was singled out a lot was the 'Tottenham Four"-Deryck Diffey, Ian Watkinson, Ivor Snell and Stan Abraham. These were four former Tottenham bandsmen from England who had given many years of service to Salvation Army bands throughout their long and illustrious banding careers, and were scheduled to retire from the CSB after the tour. Regardless of the scathing humour, it was evident that all of us, young and old, held these four men in high esteem and affection. They will be missed. The evening concert in Ballarat was held in the lovely old United Church, whose acoustics particularly suited a moving rendition of Richard Phillips' Be Still for the Presence of the Lord. Afterwards, the audience responded to a thrilling performance of Eric Ball's Song of Courage with a standing ovation. The final weekend of the tour had arrived, and on Saturday morning it was on to Melbourne. There we were hosted by our friends in the Melbourne Staff Band, who had just returned two weeks previously from a tour of the United Kingdom. Upon arrival at Crossway Baptist Church, the venue for the evening concert, friendships were renewed over a shared meal. The CSB responded to the enthusiastic crowd with most of its regular concert items and soloists. The response from the audience to the final major work of the evening, Truth Aflame, required the band to launch into Kevin Norbury's Firebrands to bring the evening to a dose. The next day, Sunday, the CSB led the morning service at Waverley Corps in Melbourne, playing William Himes' Procession to Covenant, enhanced with visual presentation. In addition, Deputy BM Kevin Hayward gave a sensitive rendition of Peter Graham's trombone solo, / Walked Today Where Jesus Walked. Executive Officer Major John Norton, who accompanied the band on the tour, led the meeting and gave the sermon. The evening saw the band at the old and beautifully restored Cobourg Town Hall for a service of praise which included requested items from the audience. The program ended as it had every evening, with the band forming up among the audience, with lights dimmed, and playing William Gordon's arrangement of God Be With You Till We Meet Again. As the final triumphant chords rang around the auditorium, it was hard to believe that the culmination of months and years of preparation had come and gone in such a short span of time. It is the hope of the Canadian Staff Band that this was a tour during which lives were touched and spirits uplifted, and that Salvationists in New Zealand and Australia were encouraged to continue working for God's Kingdom.

Farewell to Tottenham Four T he Canadian Staff Band's visit to New Zealand and Australia marked the fareweU tour for four long-serving bandsmen. Deryck Diffey, Stan Abraham, Ian Watkin on and Ivor Snell-together known as the "Tottenham Four"-have retired collectively logging 70 years of service in the CSB. The retirement of Staff Bandsman Deryck Diffey marks the end of an era. He was a charter member of the CSB, joining the band at its inauguration in 1969 and giving 32 years of continuous service. For 25 of those years he was the principal cornetist, whose solos were appreciated by audiences around the world. Deryck began in Newport, on the Isle of Wight off the coast of England. His father was the YP band leader, and it was there that he played his first solo at the tender age of four, in an open-air meeting. His family moved to Southsea Corps when he was 14, and there he played in both YP and senior bands. A year later, he joined Tottenham Citadel Band, and in 1965, immigrated to Canada. Personal highlights of Deryck's service with the CSB include performances at London, England's Royal Albert Hall in 197 4 and 1983. As for comical moments, of which there were many, he particularly recalls the band's visit to a maximum security prison in Pittsburgh. There had recently been a riot and a fire and it was a volatile atmosphere. Deryck's solo, Rhapsody on Negro Sprirituals, was such a hit that requests came for him to do it again. When one of the prisoners told Deryck they could use him in their band, he quipped back, "What do I have to do to get in?" Deryck looks back fondly on his years with the CSB and hopes he will be remembered as an encourager to others. Stan Abraham began on second horn in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. At 12, he joined the senior band, and for the next 10 years served in corps bands at Perone and Wellington South. In 1954, he moved to England where he joined Tottenham Citadel Band. He came to Canada 11 years later, making his home in Hamilton, Ont. Stan has been a staff bandsman since 1981, at various times playing all of the cornet positions-soprano, solo, first and second. His favourite CSB memory is of a 1985 meeting in Brisbane, Australia, where scores of seekers prolonged the meeting until well after 10 p.m. This was also the farewell concert for then bandmaster Major Robert Redhead. Ivor Snell was born in London, England, to Salvation Army officer parents. He started his music career on a euphonium his father purchased for him when he was eight years old. Ivor joined the armed forces at age 16 and two years later trained with the Royal Army Ordinance Corps. He was posted to Blackdown, Aldershot, then overseas to Malaysia, where he attended The Salvation Army in Singapore for 18 months. Back in England, he linked up with the Tottenham Citadel Band. He was impressed with Canada during the band's Canadian tour, and immigrated here the following year-one of 10 bandsmen to do so, including the "Tottenham Four." In Canada, Ivor served as bandmaster at Wychwood, Etobicoke Temple, North York Temple and Oshawa Temple. He joined the CSB in 1988, and was the euphonium soloist and deputy bandmaster for 10 years. Highlights include the 1997 tour of Brazil where he played the solo Endearing Young Charms. Ian Watkinson joined the Red Hill Senior Band at age 12 in England. He joined Tottenham Citadel Band in 1961, came to Canada in 1964, and became bandmaster at Dovercourt Corps in 1967. Later he was bandmaster at Etobicoke Temple for 12 years. He was a charter member of the CSB, playing soprano cornet until 1975. He rejoined the band on solo horn in 1992, and has held the position of band sergeant for the past eight years. His most memorable CSB moment was the uniting of four staff bandsthe International Staff Band, New York Staff Band, Chicago Staff Band and Canadian Staff Band-at Toronto's Roy Thomson Hall in 1994. Each of the four retiring bandsmen were acknowledged during the CSB's annual anniversary festival in Toronto earlier this year. Their legacy will continue to inspire musicians across this territory for years to come. a Above: Deryck Diffey performing with the Canadian Staff Band in 1974; below: Deryck Diffey, Stan Abraham, tan Watkinson and Ivor Snell

MAP Recommitment to mission Chief Secretary shares her vision for a passionate Army Mapping the Army'~ future What is God saying to you about the future of the Army? The Lord is confirming in my heart that there will be an Army in the future. Of course, it is His desire that we continue to be Christ-centred and Spirit-led. The Army will be radical-not radical in the sense of being outrageous and ostentatious, but "rooted" in mission, progressive, innovative and proactive. I see a passionate Army. Again, let me be clear. I don't think passionate means "all heat and little light." Its burning desire for mission will be based on sound thinking and daring faith. Why does the Army exist? The Army exists to save and to serve. We are to be proclaimers of the Gospel ofJesus Christ, for the purpose of bringing people to faith in Him as Saviour and Lord. We were raised up to present His call to be disciples, vitally linked to Christ and mobilized for service. This service involves touching people at their point of need, with His compassion and The ~r Cry recently interviewed Colonel Linda Bond, chief secretary, regarding the mission and future of The Salvation Army in Canada and Bermuda. conduct on the Bible's teachings. For instance, the Ten Commandments, the ministry of Jesus, the model of the Early Church all underscore the truth that what one believes affects how one acts. In each instance, there was a strong sense of community which called for action on behalf of the needs of its people. Our Army history, of course, verifies that we have served "with heart to God and hand to man." The social services in our territory are very diverse and professional. There is an ongoing requirement to meet government standards and provide care of the highest quality. This does not mean that our social services do good work only because the law demands it. They serve because of a Christian compulsion. The love of Christ compels our social service. However, there is human need in the community where every corps is placed. Whether it be a bag of groceries, a listening ear or a hospital visit, these basic needs can be met at the corps level and will give credibility to the evanwithout discrimination. This not only means providing beds for the homeless, clothes for the naked, food for the hungry and visitation of the prisoner, but also advocating on behalf of the disadvantaged. We need to use our influence to shape laws and policies in order to We are to be proclaimers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, for the purpose of bringing people to faith in Him as Saviour and Lord gelical thrust of the local corps. Do you see the Army as bureaucratic? By bureaucratic, I think you mean having "excessively complicated administrative procedures." It would be a generalalleviate suffering. We were raised to challenge oppression, injustice and evil. How can we strengthen our mission? It is not the mission that needs to be strengthened but our understanding and commitment to it. While there are core values of Salvationism, these must be interpreted for the 21st century, so that we are an Army that is adaptable and available. Why should we link corps and social services? Because they are inextricably linked. We do base our faith and I O The War Cry • November 200 I ization to say that the whole of the Canada and Bermuda Territory is bureaucratic. However, at every level, we have the potential to be so, with our O&R, Minute Book, procedures and protocols, etc. But an organization as big as The Salvation Army in this territory needs "systems" to make it efficient and effective. It is when the system or structure becomes our preoccupation that we are bureaucratic. Has our mission changed in recent years? No, our mission has not changed, but as I said earlier, perhaps our commitment to it has. Our methods have certainly changed and they need to. Even further changes are necessary if we are going

to be relevant to our society. General Gowans re-articulated our mission with his three-point slogan that the Army was raised up to save souls, grow saints and serve suffering humanity. He re-stated the obvious but the fact that it resonated with all Salvationists says that we know what our mission is. It's how to carry it out in our culture and times with which we struggle. God has blessed us with abundant resources. How are we using them effectively? If you are thinking about resources such as property and finance, I would hope that even consideration to the purchase or sale of any property is done with a sense of purpose. This isn't about "tearing down barns and building bigger ones." We are not into empire building. Our properties should be functional and designed The Army will be radical-not radical in the sense of being outrageous and ostentatious, but "rooted" in mission, progressive, innovative and proactive to minister to the area in which they are built. The spending of our money needs to be based on our Kingdom values. We must relate our business decisions to our convictions. To say we see ourselves as mission-driven and then not relate our decisions to this, is to be hypocritical. In the use of our resources, our "walk must match our talk." How are we maximizing the use of our officers and lay staffi I believe there is a fine balance in helping people discover and use their spiritual gifts and competencies, and calling people to completely dedicate their resources for the mission of the Army. While it is vital that we employ and deploy our lay staff and officers so that they reach their potential and make a difference, we will only maximize their contribution when we invite them to participate in this glorious cause of Christ. This may mean less money, relocations, working outside one's comfort zone for a time. No matter how we say it, there has to be self-denial involved. True fulfilment is a result of selfless service. Maximum effectiveness is the outcome of God-blessed, selfless service. Given the work to date, is MAP going to make a difference? The Mission Advancement Planning Council was only put in place because we do believe it will make a difference. I have no doubt that this has evolved through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

I have been cold the scory from my childhood and it has found its place in the drama of my Newfoundland heritage. Everyone who knows Newfoundland is aware that November on that island is often a time of storm. With the storm come anxi1 ety and danger. It was probably on a November morning, following a night of tempest, that E. J. Pratt wrote the poem Erosion: It took the sea a thousand years, A thousand years to trace The granite features of this cliff, In crag, and scarp and base. It took the sea an hour one night, An hour of storm to place The sculpture of these granite seams Upon a woman's face. The rocky crags of Newfoundland's shoreline provide a realistic background to that epic of loss, tragedy and sorrow. My grandfather and his sons were men of the sea. Following much labour and searching of the forest for trees capable of withstanding wind, wave or peril, they built a vessel and called it The Condor. The Condor was anchored inside the harbour mouth that November evening when in came a howling storm. Men sought to save their boats but my grandfather was not on the beach that night. Suddenly there came the possibility of tragedy. Someone ran to his house and cried: "The Condor is dragging her anchor." My grandfather, whose life and living was in that vessel, failed to respond. You see, he was passing through a tempest that was of more tragedy and sorrow than even the loss of his vessel could produce. He sat by the side of his wife. She, in pain and weakness, was about to reach through the final storm to another harbour, in a land toward which they both looked forward, but to which in that hour it was untold bitterness to lose her. The medical facilities of those days were unable to save her and she was dying. No material loss mattered on that stormy night. His heart beat with excruciating agony for the one whom he loved. His neighbours saved his vessel, but as morning broke, his beloved Anne was promoted to Glory. I tell this story 80 years after that night to pay tribute ro the strength of true love. In this day when people seem to succumb so easily to lesser storms perhaps my ponderings should insist that no gift of God, save eternal life itself, is more wonderful than that gift of love and loyalty between one man and one woman. It blooms in life's springtime, blossoms in midsummer and holds priority above all other interests when the winds of stormy autumn blow. El November 200 I • The War Cry I I

Music Spiritual and musical challenge at National Close to 140 students and faculty gathered for the National School of Music, Jackson's Point, Ont. Dr Keith Wilkinson, a British conductor, adjudicator and arranger currently serving as music co-ordinator for The Salvation Army in Columbus, Ohio, was guest for the school. His wife, Audrey, a songster soloist, conductor and vocal trainer, and Jonathan Whitmore, percussionist with the International Staff Band, also participated. Twelve delegates from the conductors' symposium, which ran simultaneously with National, also participated in activities. The student body included international students Phil Callaghan from New Zealand and Anita Jackwitz from Australia. Major Floyd Tidd, TYS, challenged students during the Bible program to experience God to the fullest and to live the full adventure of knowing and doing God's will. Left: International student Phil Callaghan entertains fellow students; below: Women's chorus in rehearsal Throughout the week, musical presentations included a duet by Steve Cooper, Agincourt CC, Toronto, and Alison Berkshire, Westminster Park, London, Ont., of The Prayer. The men's chorus, under the leadership of Steve Armstrong, Oshawa Temple, Ont., performed a variety of pieces including Bring Him Home from the musical Les Miserables. The women's chorus, under the leadership of Lynn Audrey and Dr Keith Wilkinson Janes, Hope CC, Pickering, Ont., and Kevin Norbury, music publications director and vocal consultant, THQ, performed This Little Babe and Ain't That News. The contemporary vocal elective, led by Cathy Koehnen, Mississauga Temple, Ont., presented I Will Trust in You in the Friday and Saturday evening programs. Jonathan Whitmore conducted the percussion elective in a lively Caribbean version of the hymn Blessed Assurance. The praise and worship elective, under the direction of Kim Garreffa, contemporary music consultant, THQ, featured Anne Riches, Agincourt CC, Toronto, and her electric violin in a Celtic version of the hymn When I Survey the Wondrous Cross. For the first time, an original drama production was presented at the Saturday evening program, written by Peter Koehnen, Mississauga Temple, Ont., entitled Choices Dr Keith Wilkinson conducted the ''A" band in Kevin Norbury's Three Images, a three-part movement depicting different facets of the nature of Christ. This piece marked its North American premiere and was only completed in the weeks prior to camp. Brian Burditt, territorial music secretary, gave its global premiere at the Scotland National School of Music in early August. The music camp experience gives pride in being part of band and vocal music making, and in finding spiritual rejuvenation that lingers long after camp is finished. Kim Garreffa Did you know ... . . .

Contemporary m usic is here ro ray. People who grew up with rock 'n' roll as their choice of music are now in their 40s. Contemporary music is not just for teenagers. World-wide there has been an explosion of contemporary praise and worship like never seen before in history. It is its own industry, and there is even a billboard chart of praise and worship "hits" just as there is for other styles of music. Globally, there are weekend praise and worship seminars happening on a continual basis. Many non-Army bands together. The Army's Hallelujah chorus series allows keyboard, guitar, bass and drum kit to be added to the brass band mix. Many traditionalists readily accept contemporary music when it is played by a brass band. Another approach is to incorporate the contemporary band into other parts of the service. They are invited to lead a slow worship time or an appeal and encouraged to sing both familiar and unfamiliar songs. Many globally recognized praise and worship bands are using hymns in a contemporary way. Delirious!, an extremely popular Christian band, recorded the hymn When I Survey the Wondrous Cross to the familiar tune but with a new chorus. Arlie Whitlow III recently wrote a new tune to the hymn Fairest Lord Jesus, also with a new chorus, that is currently on the billboard worship charts. Being sensitive to the congregation is ultimately what a worship band needs to be about. The goal is not necessarily to perform the most current music, but to assist a congregation in worship. This means not using music that is beyond the congregation's capability to sing and participate. The other issue that has come up recently with Being sensitive to the contemporary bands has more to do with the spirchurches have opted to focus solely on contemporary worship in rheir services, almost to the exclusion of hymns. It is not uncommon for ch urches to ha.ve up to an houl' ofpraisc and worship singing before the sermon. And chis is happening because people are hungry for it. The contemporary style speaks to them more so than does traditional church music. This can be compared to the way that contemporary translations of congregation is what a worship band needs to be itual discipline of the band itself. Whereas a brass band or songster brigade has codes in terms of dress and behaviour, none of that currently exists within Salvation Army guidelines for contemporary bands. There is a fear that contemporary bands are being used to attract teenagers that may not come to church otherwise. The concern continues that they are allowed to participate in a band without having made a personal commitment to Christ or the corps. Their behaviour outside of worship time leaves questions in the minds of the congregation as the Bible, such as The Message, are growing in popu- about larity. Ignoring the contemporary trend will be detrimental to corps trying to reach their community with the Gospel. So how does a corps, comfortable with a traditional band, songster brigade and hymns, introduce contemporary music without alienating those that find the new music almost blasphemous to listen to? How can corps officers reassure congregational members who are fearful these traditions may gradually disintegrate under the pressure to change? There have been a few approaches. Many corps' contemporary bands begin services with 10 to 20 minutes of music, the idea being: "We'll let the young people do their music and then we'll have our traditional service." This does nothing to bridge the gap between old and young, traditional and contemporary, and is an approach that will not work in the long run. There are a couple of approaches, however, that seem to be bridging the gap. Some corps have blended brass and contemporary to their authenticity as Christians. The participation of contemporary bands within the corps is a phenomenon that cannot be ignored. Contemporary music at its best is an exciting frontier that can become a great vehicle for winning new converts to the Gospel. Let's make the most of this opportunity we now have to further our cause of winning souls, using a language that is already known and loved by millions. To Think About Should The Salvation Army release a universal guide to govern the development of a mission statement and code of standard for contemporary bands? The War Cry welcomes your opinion.

"We'll be OK. The Salvation Salvationists respond to U.S.A. disaster L ooking out the window of a stranded plane and seeing The Salvation Army's emergency vehicle on the tarmac, one distraught passenger was heard to say: "We'll be OK. The Salvation Army's here!" Shortly after the horrific terrorist attacks in the United States, Salvation Army personnel and resources throughout Canada and Bermuda went on full alert. They extended emergency services to stranded and grieving American and other personnel in airports, on ships and at border crossings. In St. John's, Nfld., The Salvation Army was the first emergency organization on the scene to receive an estimated 5,000 displaced passengers on 30 flights. The city of St. John's named the Army as the co-ordinator for food operations for all passengers. Close to 600 were housed and fed in Army corps buildings in the St. John's area. The Army in Deer Lake, Nfld., offered accommodation for 100 people and made arrangements so that an additional 100 could be billeted in the community, if needed. At Gander, Nfld., with 38 planes grounded, Salvation Army personnel worked around the clock to register approximately 6,500 people as they deplaned. Twin Ponds, divisional camp for Nfld. Central Div, housed 553 people with 700 more housed at other Army centresVn nearby communities. Army personnel- set up a distribution centre to provide food, water and personal items. Major Ross Bungay, DSBA, Nfld. West and Labrador Div, stated that the Army's operations in Stephenville, Nfld., augmented by the community, went "like clockwork." Accommodation was provided for 1,100 travellers by drawing on community support. Airline passengers were bussed to Corner Brook, Nfld., and to the divisional camp, Silver Birches. "Community support," stated Major Bungay, "has been nothing short of fantastic. Supported by New Tel and Altronics, we Statement from General John Gowans "Our first thoughts and prayers at a time like this must be for those thousands of families that have been bereaved by the devastation in New York and Washington and the thousands more who have been damaged physically and emotionally by these unthinkable acts of violence. The international Salvation Army pledges itself to provide all possible assistance to our American colleagues as they work with the emergency services in the disaster areas, and as they offer comfort and spiritual support to the distraught throughout the United States. "It is impossible for us to understand the thinking of those who could plan and carry out an attack of this magnitude of horror and savagery on innocent men, women and children. "'Whatever the cause or objective, such behaviour cannot be justified on any grounds. We can do no other but condemn it. It is clearer than ever that ours is a world that needs a Saviour." 14 The War Cry • November 200 I set up extra telephone services and a satellite dish to receive televised newscasts at the camp.

At Hamilton, Windsor, Thunder Bay, Orillia, Oshawa, London, Ont., and numerous other centres, Army emergency vehicles and support personnel stood ready to be involved as required. A function at Ottawa's National Arts Centre was cancelled with food delivered to the Booth Centre in readiness for a feeding program. In Windsor, Ont., rhe mayor was alerted that Army personnel were in a state of readiness to respond as required. At the border crossings at Fort Erie, Sarnia and Windsor, Ont., Army emergency vehicles with teams of volunteers provided food and refreshments to endless lines of people waiting to cross into the U.S.A. At Hamilton, Ont., rhe Army responded to a crisis by driving a stranded family wirh five children to Buffalo and assisted rhem to make transportation arrangements to attend the funeral of a loved one. • In Winnipeg, the Army's emergency team was on hand at the airport to assist passengers. In Calgary, Majors Roland and Lorraine Shea, C&FS director and assistant, responded to a request from WestJet for assistance at rhe airport. At 12:30 p.m., 85 Salvation Army officers were on standby for chaplaincy, counselling or other duties. In Edmonton, Envoy Andy Kwak, C&FS executive director, responded to a request to provide mats and blankets for 300 in a school emergency shelrer at Leduc, a community sourh of Edmonton. He was also requested to place his emergency teams on alert, in particular, personnel wirh "critical stress management" qualifications. The corps in Richmond, B.C., received 50 people to house and feed overnight. Army personnel served coffee and refreshments to firemen and emergency personnel, and over 600 calls were received at rhe corps from concerned citizens offering accommodation, transportation, blankets, money and blood. Army personnel in Yellowknife offered assistance and counselling to passengers stranded at rhe airport on a Korean airliner. In rhe Yukon, Salvation Army workers provided 150 sweaters and jackets for rhose arriving not prepared for the colder wearher. Officers and volunteers offered counselling support and spiritual ministry where needed. Salvationists in Bermuda were called to minister and counsel at rhe airport, in hotels and aboard the cruise ship Nordic Princess. At rhe request of rhe ship's captain, Majors Charles and Donna Eyre, Bermuda Harbour Light, accompanied the crew and passengers to Philadelphia, U.S.A., to give support and counselling. "I am proud of all Army centres and personnel, borh officer and lay people, who pulled rhrough and did an excellent job," says Major Loretta Fudge, PR director, Nfld. East Div. "Our people have experienced in a unique way what it is to serve suffering humanity." The care and compassion of Salvationists during rhis emergency did not go unnoticed by newspaper, television and radio reporters, yet this recognition is not what inspires them to respond. They are inspired by love for God and a desire to serve His people whenever possible.

International Making history First international music forum sets tone for future In July, more than 50 representatives from 36 territories met at Sunbury Court in London, England, for the first ever international music ministries forum. Representing the territory were Brian Burditt, terrirorial music secretary, and Kevin Hayward, assistant territorial music secretary. Such an event was first discussed when the international music council was disbanded in 1999. A decision was made to have an international gathering of all music leaders from around the Army world. Following the annual meeting of North American music secretaries last year, concern was expressed to IHQ that nothing seemed to be in the works. That started the ball rolling and within three weeks word was received of plans for the forum. The event was preceded by a Gospel Arts Festival at the Royal Albert Hall. The forum itself commenced with an informal session late Sunday evening, followed by three days of sessions and workshops covering topics of interest to delegates. These included drama and dance, musical arranging and composition, creative worship, crossing cultural and musical boundaries, and effective administration. Plenary sessions and evening programs highlighted the talent of the delegates, who represented a variety of ethnic and musical styles. For Kevin Hayward, one of the highlights was being able to mix with people from different cultures all around the world. "It was great just having us all together, knowing we had a common purpose. We were very conscious that many from developing countries had struggled just to make the trip--but that's how important music was for them." Western territories were asked to sponsor one or more delegates from Africa, Asia and South America to attend the conference. Music leaders from both spheres were then paired up as prayer partners during the conference. "We actually sat with our prayer partners throughout the entire forum," says Kevin, "at one point sharing personal prayer concerns and praying for each other. It certainly gave some of us from the west a whole new perspective of other needs from around the world." A key issue that arose out of the conference was the sharing of resources for brass bands and vocal groups. "On the one hand," says Brian, "we in the west are happy to provide the resources, but it is not without difficulties. One problem is getting material translated. Also, some of these countries still rely on the sol-fa symbols we've long since discarded. Then there's the question of how we get materials to them. Many don't have access to e-mail, fax machines or photocopiers-things we take for granted." Both Brian and Kevin were somewhat disappointed that there wasn't more discussion on a vision for the future and a common direction for Army music-making in the 21st century. "Many from the west went with the expectation that this would be the primary focus," says Brian. "For whatever reason, that didn't happen. That's not to say that what did happen was not worthwhile. It was an excellent start, and overall it was a very positive experience." Among the recommendations arising out of the conference was that similar gatherings take place on a regular basis in the future. Is it worth pursuing? Kevin Hayward thinks so. "If this international I 6 The War Cry • November 200 I forum did nothing else," he says, "it re-acquainted us with the purpose of Army music." Brian agrees. "It was a good beginning," he says, "but a lot more needs to be done. One of the things that came out was an agreement to invite some of the leaders from sponsored countries to our North American music conferences. The more communication we have, the more we can accomplish." One thing is certain. With the commitment of music leaders from around the world to accomplishing the mission objectives of The Salvation Army through music ministry, the future is in good hands. D Prince Lengoasa from Johannesburg, South Africa, was sponsored by the Canada and Bermuda Territory to attend the international music ministries forum. The son of officer parents, he has loved music since he was a child. Trained as an architectural draftsman, he is now a professional trumpet player and freelance musician. He plays with the Johannesburg Festival Orchestra and a number of other bands, often presenting his interpretations of the late Louis Armstrong. Active in his corps band, he also volunteers as part of an association of music leaders to provide information and resources throughout his division. He enjoys participating in music ministry and believes he is where God wants him to be.

ISSION From one island to another, Bermudian Salvationists join in celebrating 100 years of ministry in Trinidad F ellow Salvationists of the Trinidad and Tobago Division, in the Caribbean Territory, had been in the hearts and prayers of Bermuda Salvationists for over two years. For 10 days last August the divisional band and 18 others left Bermuda for Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, to work, witness and join in celebrating God's blessing on 100 years of ministry on the Caribbean island. As enthusiasm escalated, and bags were packed just days before leaving, word was received that a fire had destroyed the divisional headquarters building, officers' quarters and men's hostel in the Trinidad and Tobago Division. However, all centennial congress celebrations were going ahead as planned and the band's ministry was crucial to their success. After receiving the news, the Bermudians were more determined that they be available in any way to lend assistance. The day of departure, BM Warren Jones summed up the passion of all involved with Mission Trinidad: "God has prepared the band for mission. The things that have brought us together in the past year say that something great is going to happen. We couldn't have written the script and I believe it will be played out in a grand way. Everything has fallen into place. God will work despite the fire and loss of life so close to the trip. I know it will be a different group coming back." As musical guests for the centennial congress, the Bermuda Divisional Band provided its own funding as did all team members. At departure time, 70 percent of the costs had come through fundraising with over 400 sponsors, from Bermuda and beyond, plus 30 businesses giving financial support. On to Trinidad Following a prayer from Major Lindsay Rowe, Bermuda divisional commander, the band was met in Toronto by Mississauga Temple comrades, who provided food and a place to relax during the long stopover prior to the flight to Trinidad. After an overnight trip, the team landed in Port-of-Spain to be greeted by the sound of hymns from a lone trumpet player, the divisional commander, Major Keith Graham. Aware of the affects of the fire, the band executive assured the divisional leader that everyone was there to pitch in and help. Major Graham, delighted by this news, set about planning ways in which the band could be used to raise the visibiliry of The Salvation Army in Trinidad. From that point onward, the words flexibility and cooperation took on new meaning. At 7:30 p.m., an ensemble left the hotel for the airport to welcome the arrival ofterritorial leaders. As the band played and witnessed, a crowd quickly assembled and f5 responded with enthusiastic applause. At E 12:15 a.m., to the sounds of Joy in The Salvation Army, the leaders arrived. !

Friday, following morning rehearsal, the band played on the streets of Port-ofSpain all afternoon. Many listeners commented that it was great to see the Army active again. Celebration The opening event of the congress, a banquet, was attended by many of Trinidad's business and civic leaders. It was at this event that Major Mandy Dennett, the band's executive officer, presented Major Graham with $10,000 US from solwith sunny skies but within minutes the rain began, first as drizzle, then as a torrential downpour. The band continued not missing a beat, jumping huge puddles and smiling between numbers. There was never any thought of giving up. Directed into the yard of the women's hostel, the band separated into two ranks playing Bright Crowns and the marchers went through the middle. The Trinidad Salvationists had their own rhythmic lilt to the tune and as they passed, the band picked up the lilt and an impromptu jam session broke out amongst the musicians. The Bajan "The spirituality of the group is high with much growth over the past year. God is using the divisional band to bring a renewal to Bermuda" and Vincencian timbrellists got into the act and for more than an hour, in the rain, everyone jammed, sang choruses and praised God. Sunday morning of the congress, the band sang Jesus Will Make a Way and BM Calvin Ming played a flugel horn solo He is Lord. Maj Mandy Dennett diers and friends of the Bermuda Division to assist with fire relief efforts. The lengthy march of witness on Saturday, through the streets of Port-ofSpain, was a highlight of the trip. It began The band divided for afternoon women's and men's rallies. For the first time in the band's history, it was able to provide a 90 percent female ensemble for the women's rally. The evening congress praise meeting was a "Hallelujah rime" with the band playing the selection Caribbean SingBM Jones leads congress march of witness and introduces the band selection at one of the Indoor meetings Along. Starting at 6:45 p.m., Salvationists had to be chased from the room at 10 p.m. as the hallelujah wind-up refused to wind up! With officers' councils and future officers' fellowship on Monday, the band was not involved until the evening for a youth rally. Next day, the band was on duty for a three-hour witness on the promenade of Woodford Square in the centre of the city. The performance included the cornet trio Keep in Step featuring Wayne Knight, Calvin Ming and Jerome Astwood and the euphonium solo We'll All Shout Hallelujah by Ronnie Astwood. On August 7, the final congress event, an anniversary celebration service, was held marking 100 years of The Salvation Army in Trinidad. In attendance to bring greetings on behalf of the Trinidad government was the prime minister, the Honourable Basdeo Panday. Greetings also came from civic leaders, the premier of Bermuda, the Honourable Jennifer M. Smith, and divisional leaders. Service Following congress, the team gave time to a community work project. It worked tirelessly co provide a clean kitchen for the residents of the Working Lads Hostel. Normally the hostel accommodates about 40 residents. However, as a result of the Caribbean and Bermudian Salvationists share their faith during open-air meeting I 8 The War Cry • November 200 I

fire, 75 men had been moved into it. The state of the kitchen was deplorable with only one electrical outlet. There was no ceiling and the roof leaked. While the women sorted through clothing for the displaced men, other team members painted, replaced electrical and plumbing fixtures, provided electricity, installed a new sink and ceiling, and repaired the roofing to have a reasonable cooking area. At the same time, a group from the band held a band clinic for the young people of the Trinibago and St. Vincent Divisions. That evening saw the band perform in concert with one of the best steel bands in Trinidad, the Trinidad Defence Force Steel Orchestra. The Bermuda Divisional Band played the march Rosehill, sang We Are United in Jesus Christ and featured Ronnie Astwood's euphonium solo We'll All Shout Hallelujah. On the final Friday, the band travelled to San Fernando, one of the poorest areas of the island, to hold an open-air meeting to encourage the people of the town and the officers stationed at the corps. Homeward Bound After a tiring, busy week, with numerous blessings and memories, the team was ready to leave Trinidad for home. As the Salvationists walked toward their departure gate, they heard the lone trumpet of Major Graham serenade with 0 Boundless Salvation and God Be With You. What a witness. He may have been standing on his own again, but like the Bermudian Salvationists, he and his wife will never be the same after the work God did over the course of that week during Mission Trinidad. D With notes from BM Warren Jones Team members provide needed repairs at the Working Lads Hostel The Bennuda Divisional Band C onsisting of 32 members, the band represents rhe six Bermuda corps. As well as playing for Lm ired Army services, it provides music for religious functions such as the Remembrance Day parade, the Parade of Tall Ships ecumenical service, the annual emancipation service, Christmas serenading and a spring festival of music during heritage month. The prime objective of the band is to win souls for Christ through its music. Rehearsing monthly, it works to achieve a standard that says "only the best for the Master." Current leadership includes Major Mandy Dennett, DSBA, executive officer, BM Warren Jones, Deputy BM Wayne Knight, Band Sergeant Eugene Phillips and Jerome Astwood.

Part 11 M ost pilgcims on the journey towards spirirual Life development would admit t.har th y 1Jeed the support of otbers who The need for Christian commnnity others. We were drawn to providing for the converts by Colonel Earl Robinson ourselves." are walking that same journey. John Wesley went so far as to say: "Christianity is essentially a social religion; and to turn it into a solitary one is to destroy it. By Christianity I mean that method of worshipping God which is here revealed to man by Jesus Christ. When I say this is essentially a social religion, I mean not only that it cannot subsist so well, but that it cannot subsist at all, without society, without living and conversing with (others)." Wesley recognized that it was not enough for each Christian to rely on solitary faith for the pilgrimage towards holiness of heart and life. He was careful, therefore, to see that Methodists had opportunity for Christian community to support their spiritual life development. The support groups that he set up for his converts were termed the society, the band, and the class meeting-groups that eventually formed the basis for Methodism becoming a new denomination, even though that had not been Wesley's intention. Of the value of those groups Wesley said: "Great and many are the advantages which have flowed from this closer union of the believers with each other. They prayed for one another, that they might be healed of the faults they had confessed; and it was so. The chains were broken, the bands were burst in sunder and sin had no more dominion over them. Many were delivered from the temptations out of which, till then, they found no way to escape. They were built up in our most holy faith. They rejoiced in the Lord more abundantly. They were strengthened in love, and more effectually provoked to abound in every good work." It was because of a similar need for converts to have Christian community amongst kindred pilgrims that The Salvation Army also became a separate denomination of the Church. William Booth, too, had not initially intended that fo be so. He said: "From the first I was strongly opposed to forming any separate organization. My first idea was to get the people saved and send them to the churches." That proved to be impractical, however, as Booth himself admitted: "First, they (the new converts) would not go when sent. Second, they were not wanted. And third, we wanted some of them at least to help us in the business of saving 20 The War Cry • November 200 I So both Methodism and The Salvation Army emerged as separate churches partly because of the need for Christian community. Neither Booth nor Wesley was content to preach salvation and sanctification and leave converts to struggle as solitary Christians without the nurture of a caring company of people with a common life and allegiance. The Salvationist handbook of doctrine, Salvation Story, says this in its chapter on the doctrine of the Church: "The Church is created by the Holy Spirit for fellowship. Together we are God's household, His family, as we abide in Christ and He in us. This intimate community is the work of the Holy Spirit. It is He who enables us to gather in fellowship as one, sharing life together, growing up into Christ our head, discovering in Him freedom from prejudice and sin. The importance of such fellowship can hardly be overestimated. Within this community we experience healing, help and happiness. As holiness is relational, holiness of life is to be realized in community. As Christians we make our spiritual journey as part of a company." The Salvation Army's Spiritual Life Commission report encourages a similar shared journey. It describes the relational dimension to holiness as having to do with the disciplines of our life together as fellow Christians. One of those disciplines is that of gathering in small fellowship groups within the larger congregation. It is in such settings that we can share responsibility for one another's spiritual well-being, be accountable to one another, and receive from one another assurance of the forgiveness and hope that there is in Christ. That kind of Christian community holds the possibility of the spiritual journey being experienced not as a lonely one, but as one in which we walk together with other members of the Body of Christ. Paul speaks about that possibility in 1 Corinthians 12:24-27 when he says that each follower of Christ is a part of the Body of Christ. God has combined members of the Body and we should work towards there being no division in it. Its parts are to have equal concern for each other. Every part is to suffer with one who suffers and rejoice with one who is honoured. It is through such sharing that the need for Christian community in the spiritual life pilgrimage will be met. D

November 200 I • The War Cry 21

Fresh wind! Fresh faith! Fresh power! Prayer is the only answer to Salvationists longing for refreshment and revival as an Army Commissioner Bill Luttrell Territorial Commander Canada and Bermuda There is nothing quite like a cool, fresh glass of water or fresh, ripe fruit and vegetables. There's nothing quite like a fresh, new day-fresh wind, perhaps, blowing through one's hair, on one's face. We all need to be refreshed, even revived, on a regular basis. In a physical sense, yes, but also spiritually. This is true in a corporate sense, with the Church in need of newness and "freshness." It is also true on a very personal level. The need for fresh wind, God's Spirit, upon us. The cry for fresh answer to this longing for refreshment and revival as an Army. We are not unique. Other churches have prayed, sometimes even in desperation, for fresh wind, fresh faith, fresh power. Pastor Jim Cymbala of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, U.S.A., and author of three powerful books from which comes the tide for this article, prayed this prayer. And because of the sincerity of the people's prayers, the days that followed were not always easy. They experienced great change and often with it, great pain. Many heartwrenching, difficult struggles, but they persisted. They prayed, seeking God's will for His Are we willing to let God's Church, His children. And God gloriously honoured their faithfulness and persistence in prayer. faith to permeate His Church and people. The deep desire for fresh power to strengthen, encourage and enlighten us, all for His glory. I have been in this ter- Spirit sweep ritory for roughly 22 There are some who question the changes and challenges the Army is facing. Older people wonder about letting go of certain things.

There are older folk, though committed and faithful, who are finding change difficult yet willing to allow God to do as He wills, for His Army. There are the middle-aged people, presently growing their families. Having experienced a more traditional Army in their youth, they now see their own children wanting to express themselves in a different, perhaps more liberating fashion. Then there are our young people. How blessed we are in this territory with quality young adults! Youth, on fire for Christ, wanting to give totally of themselves. Honest, open, free. As I try to take it all in, it is sometimes overwhelming. I find more and more Salvationists are realizing prayer is the only 22 The War Cry • November 200 I their middle years may question the validiry of The Salvation Army as a vibrant church communiry. Some younger people, perhaps, may even question the Army's relevance, with its military structure, in today's society and culture. I cannot presume God's thinking or His desires for the Army, but God raised the Army for a purpose. Certain things may have to change. In this we need to constantly seek God's wisdom. Are we willing to listen to possible changes He might desire to make or go in new directions He might wish to take us? For when we pray such prayers, we must prepare for: • A possible transition period • A time of vulnerability (which isn't easy!) • A possible releasing of certain tradition • Our youth desiring to give dynamic leadership • A surrendering of ourselves, allowing God to do extraordinary things Are we bold enough to pray for fresh wind? Are we committed enough in praying for fresh faith? Are we prepared for what fresh power may do to our Army? For our Army? Are we willing to sign our names on the line then free enough within ourselves to let God's Spirit sweep us off our feet? No matter our age, background, position, status or connection to the Army, we all need to pray together for this freshness to sweep over our Church and for empowerment, giving courage and vitality to God's people. We must pray together for God's Spirit to bring revival to our Army. Something exciting, refreshing, powerful, life-changing. Something truly, and unquestionably, of God! A spiritual newness that brings new meaning, purpose, focus and energy to The Salvation Army for our territory. Spiritual excitement! Spiritual dynamism! When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one room. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came .from Heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting . . . All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit . . . (Acts 2: 1-4) Are we willing to commit ourselves to fervent prayer? To pray vigorously for this refreshing, this sweeping of the Holy Spirit over us and upon us? Are we thirsting for revival to sweep through our Army? Are we hungering for renewal within ourselves? 0, that God would do mighty things among us. Yes, Lord. M do want another Pentecost. Fresh wind, .fresh faith, .fresh power. Send the fire! D
