23 – 25 September 2005
The Salvation Army will invade Poland—it’s 110th country—this weekend. Newly commissioned Moldovan officers, Captains Andrei & Olga Iniutochkin, will continue Army expansion as they are officially installed on Sunday in Warsaw, Poland. The weekend festivities will feature a Brass Ensemble from the Exeter Corps (United Kingdom) and a Project Warsaw Gospel Choir.
In the neighboring country of Lithuania, the Army has been at work since 1998. This work has been supervised by the Germany Territory. It is now time to give Army presence in that country greater official recognition. The Germany Territory will therefore be known as the Germany and Lithuania Territory.
These developments take the number of countries where The Salvation Army is officially at work from 109 to 111!
Please pray:
-For Captains Iniutochkin & their son, Sasha: that God will grant them abundant wisdom, courage & strength as they begin their service in Warsaw
-For Captain Susanne Kettler, a great officer I met in Lithuania last summer. Pray for her ministry, her family and her corps. (She has an amazing ministry and to my knowledge is the only officer to have a Corps that meets at a garbage dump).
-For the first soldiers: that they will feel the Lord confirming their desire to serve in The Salvation Army
-For new contacts: that the Lord will open many doors as we minister on the street
-For the Gospel Choir: that many young people will accept the invitation to come & sing, and that they will be challenged by the witness of The Salvation Army through music
-For new recruits: that the Lord will touch the hearts of those already attending our meetings, and lead them to membership in The Salvation Army
