SALVATIONIST Rescued For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves. Colossians 1:13
Rescued WHAT in your life have you been rescued from? An awkward social encounter? An unhelpful habit? A harmful or dangerous situation? Your own fears? Today marks the welcome of the Rescued session of cadets – a new group of people starting training to become Salvation Army officers. The name ‘Rescued’ reminds us that who we are comes before what we do. Because, as Christians, we are rescued. We are saved by God, who knows and loves us. That gives us security in who we are. Not because we have rescued ourselves, but because of God’s faithfulness. God has rescued us and, thankfully, God is still rescuing us. His work isn’t done yet – we can trust he is present in every moment, even the moments we might not choose. Lauren Daigle’s song ‘Rescue’ describes how far God has gone and will go to rescue us, saying: ‘I will send out an army to find you.’ Like the Rescued cadets, we are part of an Army sent out by God. That’s what we do, because of who we are. We are rescued to reach others. This issue invites you to join with us in praying for the new cadets. As you do, thank God for rescuing you. Consider what he still needs to rescue you from. Ask him to guide you to others in need of rescue.

At the start of Single Friendly Church Week (27 September – 4 October), Major Andrea Cooper reflects on singleness and how we welcome people
W
HEN approached to write a reflection on singleness, I laughed as this has been a recent life issue. I realised God wanted me to stop and reflect. There were concerns: I am uncomfortable with adding a label to people. I want to be known, liked and loved because I am Andrea who loves Jesus, Everton FC, ice cream, dancing, worshipping in the car and listening to people’s stories. I just happen to be white, a woman, an officer and single! I do not want my vulnerability or circumstance to be judged, pitied, assumptions to be made or to cause people to treat me differently. I don’t want my words to cause hurt to those who simply didn’t know how I felt over the years due to my singleness. People are single for a wide variety of reasons. No two people have the same experience, so assumptions can’t be made. Yet sadly they are. In the UK, the number of single people is increasing. The Single Friendly Church
Reflect and respond What is God saying to you about singleness and single people in your setting? What can be done for single people to be welcomed, seen, valued and included? As a single person, how could you create opportunities for friendships?
Network tells us that about 40 per cent of adults are single. The charity’s research found common themes of people feeling excluded, hurt, isolated and unwelcome, with some leaving church altogether. The very place created to share God’s love sometimes fails at supporting and loving the people in their congregations. In Mark 5:24–34, we read the story of the woman suffering from bleeding. I love this account of a woman so desperate, yet so full of faith that Jesus answered her prayer. The woman was considered a social outcast, but her pain was hidden. As a single person, I have suffered the hidden pain of shame, grief, judgement and disappointment. Why? For as long as I can remember, my heart’s desire was to be a wife and a mum. In Psalm 37:4 we read: ‘Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.’ I took from this that, somehow, because he hadn’t given me the desire of my heart, I was a disappointment to God. Be aware: once the Devil knows of that hidden pain, he will try to use it against you (see John 10:10). I once attended a conference, and the leader spoke on Proverbs 31. Though I can’t tell you what was said, I left feeling that, as I wasn’t a wife or a mother, I was a failure as a Christian woman. However, I am secure in my identity in Christ. It’s my name engraved on God’s palm (see Isaiah 49:16), not ‘Andrea plus one’. I am God’s masterpiece (see Ephesians 2:10). I am loved (see
Romans 5:8). I am known (see Psalm 139). Regardless of my marital status, God is with me (see Isaiah 41:10) and cares about me (see 1 Peter 5:7). Back to that faithful woman in Mark 5. For 12 years she had been suffering, waiting for healing. We too, as single people, can be waiting, waiting for the ‘one’, waiting to be ‘whole’. Maybe in our waiting we remember God is with us, that we can be courageous (see Joshua 1:9) and we can learn to become who God created us to be. Christ offered wholeness and flourishing to the woman, and that is what God offers to all of us. God wants to demonstrate his abundant love in our lives (see John 10:10). Let us learn, regardless of marital status, to see each other, listen, be curious, build friendships, and demonstrate God living in us to those around us. I was asked recently if I am happy being single. I responded yes. The dream of being a wife and mum is still there, but God has graciously changed my heart’s desire – not the answer to prayer I wanted, but I know God’s got me! • Find out more about Single Friendly Church Week at singlefriendlychurch. com or contact the Family Ministries team at familyministries@salvationarmy. org.uk.

LTHOUGH I was born in the UK, I moved to Abu Dhabi when I was only one year old. Growing up overseas, church was mostly just a background detail for me – something connected to school events or visiting my grandparents during the summer holidays. For most of my life, I didn’t hold a strong faith, and I largely considered myself agnostic. When I moved back to the UK for university, my world opened up through music. During my degree, I made close friends who happened to be Salvationists. Over the years, they invited me along to play in various musical events and join in music workshops. They never pushed anything on me, they simply welcomed me into their world. Looking back, it was the steady, quiet kindness of those friends over many years that began to change my perspective. Through their guidance and support and the moments we shared making music, the presence of God gradually moved

from being a distant concept to something undeniable in my life. When I started attending Bo’ness Corps, I was met with that same warmth. From day one, I was made to feel like part of the family. That sense of belonging inspired me to start contributing my own musical arrangements. I want to thank corps leaders Majors Debbie and Matthew Bennett, as well as Bandmaster Paul Drury and his wife, Fiona, whose open doors, practical advice and quiet encouragement made me feel at home right from the start. Becoming an adherent is my way of saying: ‘I’m all in!’ I want to support what God is doing here, put my musical gifts to good use and walk alongside this community that welcomed me so openly.

HE HAS RISEN! by Major Keith Wallis
What does He Has Risen! depict? This ceramic piece tells the moment when Mary declared to the astonished disciples that Jesus had risen. They are overlooked by three crosses on a faraway hill and the words: ‘He is not here; he has risen!’ (Matthew 28:6).
What inspired it?
How was it made? This work was formed through hand-building methods before being fired in a kiln. I find working in clay therapeutic and, even after 50 years, I never grow tired of it. My aim is to bring glory to God through this gift!
This moment is the heart of the Christian gospel and the moment when the world changed. Christ is alive! He is not dead, but alive! This moment is explosive: death is not the victor, Christ has conquered death and the world has changed. Everything we thought about life and death changed in this instant. Death is not the final outcome of humankind. Christ is alive because of the cross, and hope is born in that moment. Thank Jesus for the cross! He has risen! Happiness is the outcome, and we can live eternally with him who conquered death. This is the moment that the Christian gospel hinges on. It is pivotal and it changes everything. There is life through Christ. There is a way out.

BIBLE STUDY
The power of perception Tony Daniels invites us to sharpen our spiritual vision
ISAIAH 43:19
T
HE way we grow and develop in our understanding of God, faith and discipleship often starts small. There are no ‘microwave dynamics’ in the Kingdom of God. However, by God’s Spirit of grace, he causes things to grow in beautiful ways. This Harvest, we look at the needs of our communities to discern what God might be doing and the part he asks us to play. In Isaiah 43:19, God says: ‘See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.’ God can bring that spring of life in the most unexpected places. God is already at work in our communities. The question is not whether he is moving, but whether we can perceive it and join him in what he is doing. Maybe we’re looking for something big and missing the beauty of small beginnings. God’s ‘new thing’ offers hope, provision and renewal. PAUSE AND REFLECT How can we increase our ability to discern the new things God is doing? Scripture often reminds us that we should live in a state of readiness and expectation, setting our minds on things above – on the heavenly, the spiritual – rather than the earthly (see 1 Peter 1:13 and Colossians 3:2). We need spiritual perception to truly understand what God wants to do in our local contexts and expressions. We need our spiritual 6

antennae up, ready to receive new direction and revelation from God. PAUSE AND REFLECT How might we ensure our minds are set to expect the unexpected and miraculous ways of God? What might this look like outside the four walls of the church? God doesn’t always work in ways we think he will. God moves without limitations. God can bring ‘streams in a wasteland’. Remove any of your presumptions of God. Instead, prayerfully ask what he is already doing. Then, wait and listen! What does God bring to mind? Let the Holy Spirit breathe divine, creative Kingdom intentions to shape your community. As Christians, we often need to learn to practise the art of looking beyond what we see with our natural senses. Some have phrased this as the ‘Isaiah practice’, relating to his vision in the Temple: ‘In the year King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up’ (Isaiah 6:1 English Standard Version). There are times when we need to ask for an expansive vision. In these prophetic moments, God often emphasises a specific part of his nature to us. We might call this spiritual revelation – looking to what could be on the horizon and beyond, within our communities and local contexts, with God’s eyes. By faith, however, we may need to prophetically squint to see it –
but the new thing springing up will come into focus! Thus we too can exclaim, as Jacob did, ‘Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it’ (Genesis 28:16). Remember that, sometimes, God hides things – just like his Kingdom – in plain sight. PAUSE AND REFLECT What specific prayers could we start to pray, to seek that new perspective with fresh vision? God could be saying to us: ‘What’s in your hands?’ His Spirit enables us to perceive what we already hold in a new light. What gifts lay dormant within us? What skill, knowledge or experience could God utilise? Often, God uses what we already have – those resources, gifts and strengths within our community waiting to be put into action. We are called to partner with God in his provision. Throughout the Bible we see God take what appears to be our little and transform it into abundance for the sake of his children. A small offering of food feeds thousands (see John 6:1–15). A single jar of olive oil fills enough containers to clear a family’s debt and sustain them into the future (see 2 Kings 4:1–7). These stories reveal the heart of a loving God who desires to care for his people. While we are called to give sacrificially in obedience, it is God who brings the abundance that meets the needs of his people. As we partner him, we do so with an expectation – not of excess, but of faithful provision for the needs of our communities.

Saturday 26 September: Care for Creation – Season of Creation – Looking and learning God of love, give us courage to open our eyes, to see not only the problems but also the new solutions you’re teaching us.

We pray that you’ll raise up people in our communities who recognise the signs of exploitation and have the courage to speak out. We pray that you’ll give us discerning, sensitive hearts, so that we notice the people who most need our kindness and help. Rach Boyes (Anti-Trafficking and Modern Slavery) and Lyndall Bywater (UKI Boiler Room team) Wait patiently, then, for the harvest, knowing that God is ‘able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us’ (Ephesians 3:20). Let us find joy in releasing what he has placed in our hands for the furtherance of his Kingdom! PAUSE AND REFLECT How might we activate what’s already ‘in our hands’? How might God be asking us to step out in faith for those on the margins of our communities, who are rejected or overlooked? God’s ‘new thing’ might not begin with a big event or dramatic breakthrough. It might begin with a fresh perspective, a simple prayer, a renewed vision and always a willing heart. This Harvest, let us ask God to prepare our minds, sharpen our eyes, and open our hands so that we can recognise and participate in the work he is already doing around us. • This Harvest, your offering will help support local mission, with 75 per cent staying within your corps and 25 per cent going to your divisional Mission Innovation Fund.

Rescued As they begin training to become Salvation Army officers, cadets of the Rescued session share their stories
Nick Scott Margate
I am a ‘child of the regiment’. I was born in Catherine Booth Hospital, in Nagercoil, India, to officer parents. My grandparents were officers too. I was going to say that I made the usual route of junior and then senior soldiership, young people’s band, singing company, band, songsters and so on, but growing up in India and going to boarding school added a different dimension to that, as there was no Salvation Army nearby to attend. I was called by God to officership on a bus somewhere between Leeds and Sheffield in 1989, but have spent most of the last 30 years confirming – thoroughly – that my calling wasn’t to accountancy!
Mary Walsh Wrexham
Growing up in a Christian home, I have always known that God loves me and that we are all called to be part of sharing the good news of his love. So many people have never heard or truly understood this incredible truth. In this next stage of my life, I am excited to play a more active part in sharing that good news as an officer in The Salvation Army, and to live out Romans 10:14: ‘How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?’ I’m trusting God to guide me as I learn, grow and serve others.
God has rescued me from… Myself on a daily basis. I am grateful for his continuing faithfulness and grace given to me new every morning. The fact that God still wishes to use me amazes me!
Scott Jennings Regent Hall Craig Walsh Wrexham
I’ve felt God’s calling on my life in different ways over the years and, having followed his will in each circumstance, I’ve been blessed with opportunities to share my faith with many non-believers. I feel like God has been preparing me all my life for this next adventure into officership, and I’m really looking forward to what he has in store for the rest of my life in service through The Salvation Army.

My testimony is one of invitation and acceptance. My first experience of The Salvation Army was through an invitation to watch a concert at Regent Hall, which I accepted. I was very intrigued as to how the concert would differ from a Sunday service, so I went along, unsure of what to expect, and I met an incredible group of people who would eventually help shape the rest of my life. I was then given plenty of invitations to various groups, activities and trips, which I kept saying yes to. I would receive such blessings from those experiences that I was able to really explore what faith truly meant to me and how God had been involved in my life before I knew him. Truly, I believe that I was once lost and I am so glad to have been Rescued.
Welcome to the cadets Territorial Leaders Commissioners Jenine and Paul Main will lead the welcome meeting at William Booth College at 4.30pm on Saturday 26 September. No tickets are required to attend – all are welcome. Whether you attend or not, join us in praying for the new cadets.
In September 2014, I entered Cambridge Salvation Army as a shy, broken boy seeking answers, community and a home. I’ve always said a uniform doesn’t define me or my relationship with God, but he told me I needed to become a soldier. After putting it off, I finally took that leap in 2021. In 2024, I told God I would push the doors and explore the calling I’d felt for a few years. He answered in a way I couldn’t doubt. I’ve wrestled with this calling, asking him repeatedly if he really wanted me, with all my flaws – and, for some reason, he does. To 14-year-old me, I’d say: ‘You found a home, an extended family, one that will always support you wherever God sends you. Christ heals your brokenness. You’ll have more questions than answers, but that’s OK, and it will be worth saying yes.’

The grips of a fallen world, from the pain of being separated from him.
When God called me, my main reaction was: ‘What on earth would you want with me?’ God reminds me daily that he has called me because of who I am – even the parts that I find difficult to love – rather than what I am not. Being known and loved, exactly as I am, has transformed my life in ways that I could never fully explain. Being able to accept that love is what has brought me to the point of being able to say yes with all of my heart. God has rescued me. God is rescuing me. God will continue to rescue me.

God has rescued me from…
When I first came through the doors of Parkhead Salvation Army in August 2021, I was broken. With the help of prayer, love, compassion and discipleship, God brought me on a journey of transformation, walking through one of the darkest periods of my life. When God first called me to officership, I didn’t want to say yes. I didn’t want to depart from my life plans and I didn’t feel good enough – in my mind I was damaged goods, but God kept nudging me and also making it clear to others that he was calling me. I love that our sessional name is Rescued as it fits my testimony so much. God has rescued me so many times in my life and, statistically, I shouldn’t be the person I am today, but God’s grace is more powerful than statistics and likelihoods. He is the ultimate way maker and rescuer.
I have struggled with anxiety for much of my life. This little voice in the back of my head that tells me I’m not good enough, that no one could ever love me. And this voice has stopped me from connecting with people, and even from connecting with God. But a few years ago, while worshipping at summer school, God showed me the unending and incomparable love he has for me. He showed me that he loved all the things I had hated about myself, that caused me to hide away. As I enter training college, I do so called by God to share the same message: God has unending and incomparable love for you. Love so great he died for your sins, that you may be who he created you to be – a reflection of him and his love.

What does Rescued mean?
Vicki Tate Herne Bay
How on earth do I condense over 50 years of God’s transforming grace into 150 words? God brought the song ‘Cleansing for Me’ to mind: ‘From all the sins over which I have wept.’ I have not always lived as someone who belongs to Jesus. My choices have caused pain, and God’s forgiveness does not make that pain insignificant. Yet Jesus has never stopped calling me back to himself. Again and again, he has forgiven, cleansed and changed me. For nine years I have served as a territorial envoy. Now, in response to such grace, God calls me to make a lifelong covenant with him through officership. Isaiah 43:1 says: ‘I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.’ I know the cost of wandering from him and the joy of belonging to him. Jesus has done everything for me. I am his.
The Rescued session of cadets is the first of five sessions named by General Lyndon Buckingham. The name is inspired by Colossians 1:13. ‘Sessional names need to say something about the needs of our times, and the way in which the gospel matches those needs,’ explained the General in 2024. ‘In a time when people are concerned about “mission drift” and our identity, my heart was drawn to five words that express the core of who we are as individuals and as The Salvation Army.’ Read more at tsa.link/ sessional-names-announced.
God has rescued me from… Sin and from fear of what others think or say, freeing me to speak the truth of the gospel in love and without compromise.

I’m sure many of you will agree that life is a roller coaster! I was introduced to the ride in 2002 as the last daughter of the ‘Green family’. Growing up, church wasn’t part of my life but, looking back, I can see how God was still there, preparing me for all that was to come. The real life-change for me came at university, when God called me from a worldly way of life to a Romans 12:1 and 2 way of living. I strapped in for the ride and just look where it has taken me! Now, I’m at the beginning of another exciting journey as I start my training as part of the Rescued session. I’m so thankful for God’s faithfulness through every twist and turn, and for the real joy I’ve found in following him. I’m still listening to him and looking forward to seeing where this next part of the ride takes me!
God has rescued me from… A life not knowing him – hallelujah! 10
Salvationist 26 September 2026
Ever since I encountered the love of God in Jesus as a child, and discovered the spacious freedom of the Holy Spirit as a teenager, I have wanted my life to be an image of Jesus on this Earth. He is the most compelling figure I have ever known, his words are the most truthful I have ever heard, and the life he places before us is the best life I could imagine. Becoming an officer is my audacious, daring and trembling ‘yes’ to that life. It is a leap of faith into the unknown – not holding tightly to my own plans, but trusting the God who promises life in all its fullness. I believe deeply in The Salvation Army’s calling to go after the last, the least and the lost, showing people the hope found in Jesus Christ. This mission is now my cause, and I sense the deep peace and exhilaration that surrender to his will brings.
God has rescued me from… The tyranny of self.

REFLECTION
Pulled out of the darkness Lieutenant Thomas Morgan reminds us that we are rescued to reach others
I
N CS Lewis’s The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the greedy, unpleasant Eustace Scrubb finds himself transformed into a dragon – a literal manifestation of his own selfish heart. Try as he might, Eustace cannot claw off the thick, suffocating scales on his body. It is only when the great lion Aslan steps in, driving his claws deep to tear away the dragon skin, that Eustace is peeled back down to a human boy. Colossians 1:13 tells a remarkably similar story. Paul writes that God ‘has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves’. We do not peel away our own scales, for we cannot save ourselves. In our darkness, God steps in and fiercely rescues us. Undoubtedly, we would rather be the person extending a strong hand down into the pit than the one sitting in the dark, helpless, and waiting to be pulled out. However, there are times when we all find ourselves in a pit – of hurt,
pain or distress – and in such times the darkness leaves us vulnerable. We might be tempted to try and find a way out of the darkness on our own. Yet Colossians 1:13 leaves no room for self-reliance. Paul uses the word ‘rescued’ because our situation before Christ was, and is, critical. Darkness in this passage isn’t just a bad mood, a minor misstep or a slight upset. The darkness Paul describes is a ‘dominion’, an active authority that holds us captive with an ever-tighter grip. It is God alone who saves, despite what we might occasionally think. A drowning person cannot perform CPR on themselves, nor can a prisoner forge their own release. Likewise, salvation is an entirely external act of divine grace. Recognising this reality cuts through our spiritual pride. We must continually remember that we are not self-made pilgrims who managed to find our own way into the light. No, we are refugees who were carried across the border and into the Kingdom by a merciful Saviour. Our foundational identity is not ‘hero’, but ‘rescued’. Once we accept that we are fully dependent on God’s salvation, something profound happens – our rescued state becomes our commission. While it is God alone who saves souls, he invites the saved to participate in his rescue mission. Just as Christ ‘came to seek and to save the lost’ (Luke 19:10), so should we. Our calling is not historical, but current,
for now is always the time of God. Having been brought into the Kingdom of the Son, we are called to step back into dark places – not as superior saviours, but as empathetic witnesses. In The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Eustace doesn’t just walk away saved. He returns to the ship transformed and equipped to stand beside his companions and help them on their journey. We, too, are only ready to help untangle the lives of others after we have felt the Rescuer tear away our own scales. Only when we remember the weight of our scales can we sit with others in their darkness without judgement. We must offer the same grace, patience and truth that were extended to us when we were at our lowest. We cannot truly extend a hand to pull anyone out of the dark until we acknowledge that we, too, were pulled out of such darkness. The gospel turns rescued captives into ambassadors of freedom. Let us remember where we came from, give thanks for the grace that claimed us, and look for those who are still waiting in the dark for a glimpse of Christ’s redeeming light.

INTERVIEW
Into officership Major Debbie Pearson (William Booth College) tells Stevie Hope about the training that continues after cadets have been commissioned as officers Then, in their fourth year, they attend a vocational development workshop, which is something that officers attend every five years throughout their ministry. Doing this workshop in their fourth year means that, if anything comes up, they’ve got a year to work on it before their five-year review. In their fifth year, a recommendation is presented to the Officer Review Board for the territorial commander to decide whether the officer should be confirmed in officership or if further development is needed.
What is the Into Officership programme? For the first five years after cadets become officers, we want to help them establish healthy habits in terms of learning, development and spiritual formation. This could be seen as a boxticking exercise, as they have to do 40 hours of learning each year and attend annual seminars, but it’s not about ticking boxes: it’s about developing responsibility for your own growth. Into Officership is overseen by Personnel, and every new officer has to do these five years to be confirmed in officership, including territorial envoys commissioned with the rank of captain or major.
How do you track that kind of learning? The new officers have to upload evidence of their learning to an online portal. This could be about courses they have taken or projects they have led, for example. But it’s not just reading a book; it’s reading a book and then reflecting on what they’ve learnt and how they could use that.
What’s your role in this? My role is vocational development officer for the Into Officership programme and leader development. My responsibility is 12
Salvationist 26 September 2026
What does it mean to be confirmed in officership? to oversee the programme and to give a bit of guidance. I connect with the new officers, their support officers and their line managers throughout the first five years. I also read and approve the reflections they submit to the portal. I report back to Personnel about the new officers’ Into Officership journeys and where we’ve seen development.
Can you tell us more about the annual seminars? Once you’re in frontline ministry, it’s pretty full-on. The seminars are opportunities to breathe and receive teaching. They’re not retreats, but they are about helping the new officers continue their development and reflect on what God has been doing in their lives and where he may be directing them. The seminar in their first year is just for the new session of officers. We ask how their year has gone and talk about what is needed going forward. It’s also an opportunity for them to reconnect and reflect with each other. In their second and third years, they attend a seminar with new territorial envoys and employed spiritual leaders. Traditionally, these seminars in the following years have been for officers, and territorial envoys have had their own seminars.
Confirmation in officership is an international regulation. There is a weeklong seminar in March, which confirms that officership is working for them.
Why isn’t two years of training at William Booth College enough? No amount of time at the college can teach every officer everything they need to know. As officers, we are always being faced with new challenges and new opportunities, and different appointments require different skills. The teaching at the college gives us all a good basis, but there is always more to learn. When you’re on the front line, it’s easy to have your head down ‘doing’, and it can be difficult to find the time to learn. Getting into a rhythm of ‘being’, and developing yourself, is important. • Find out more about spiritual leadership, officership training and the application process at salvationist.org. uk/calling.

MEETING PARKHEAD The corps farewelled Evangeline Kingsley-Grace as she prepares to enter training for officership. Previous corps officers and retired officers took part in the meeting and Linda Dunlop shared some of her experiences and reminded Evangeline of her calling. Dan Wray spoke on behalf of the corps, and Evangeline was presented with a study Bible and The Salvation Army Ceremonies Book. The young people made a collage for her and promised to pray for her, and Evangeline presented them with a Noah’s Ark quilt. Retired Corps Sergeant-Major Russell Chalmers prayed for Evangeline, and Corps SergeantMajor Seun led a glory march to ‘On We March with the Blood and Fire’, with the corps, band, songster and junior soldier flags marched around the hall. A faith lunch followed for people to wish Evangeline the best for the future. – AD
ENVIRONMENT ANDOVER The corps celebrated Creation Sunday, led by Territorial Environmental Officer Major Heather Poxon. Major Heather spoke about her experience of running a monthly eco café at St Albans and challenged everyone to enjoy the beauty of the world and to celebrate God’s creation, while being mindful of the impact of climate change. Recognising that it is sometimes hard to feel that we can make a difference, she spoke about maintaining our hope in God and suggested small changes that collectively would have a great impact. The meeting opened with a video message from General Lyndon Buckingham. – SJ
EVENT CHILDREN AND YOUTH ISLE OF WIGHT The young people’s weekend started with an afternoon tea, helping to raise funds to assist sending our young people to divisional summer camps.

We give praise and thanks to God for loving care. – MH

Leaders honoured ahead of retirement IHQ CHIEF of the Staff Commissioner Edward Hill and World Secretary for Women’s Ministries Commissioner Shelley Hill were honoured at International Headquarters as they prepare to enter retirement. Commissioners Edward and Shelley Hill were commissioned in June 1993. Their ministry has included appointments in the USA Western Territory, Singapore, Malaysia and Myanmar Territory, Canada and Bermuda Territory, and as international secretaries for the Americas and Caribbean Zone at IHQ. Commissioner Edward said: ‘My encouragement would be for all present to seek opportunities in the future to offer a kind word, encouragement and practical support to those in need, believing that we too can profoundly impact the life of others.’ General Lyndon Buckingham paid tribute not only to their most recent appointments but to more than three decades of ministry. Reflecting on Psalm 37, the General added: ‘The Lord has been with you. The Lord has enabled you. The Lord has sustained you. The Lord has directed your steps. The Lord has used you.’ The General acknowledged a colleague whose ‘quick mind’, honesty and willingness to tackle difficult issues he had valued throughout their years of working together. He thanked the Chief for championing the international Compass initiative. Commissioner Shelley Hill described IHQ colleagues using the Hawaiian word ‘ohana’, meaning ‘family’. She encouraged colleagues to continue serving ‘with great joy, with excellence, with humility and, most important, with God’s love’. World President of Women’s Ministries Commissioner Bronwyn Buckingham paid a warm tribute to Commissioner Shelley. ‘You brought passion and experience, creativity and a fresh approach to women’s ministries,’ she said, adding that women had valued Commissioner Shelley’s focus on finding new ways of reaching women and girls in their communities. Commissioners Edward and Shelley Hill will enter retirement on 1 October 2026. – AR

ST ALBANS The heatwave drew 200 worshippers to Clarence Park for an exhilarating praise meeting, as the corps brought together six churches for a morning of unity, music and celebration. Families, youth groups and members of the public filled the park with vibrant energy and song. The open-air setting allowed passers-by to listen and join in, creating a diverse musical line-up that ranged from traditional hymns to contemporary songs. Leaders from the participating churches shared encouraging messages focusing on community hope, mutual support and the Christian faith. – BH
CHILDREN AND YOUTH RAYLEIGH During the summer holidays, the corps held two messy play days for toddlers, themed Moana and The Lion King.

ANNIVERSARY KIRKCALDY Members and friends celebrated the 140th corps anniversary by journeying along the Fife Pilgrim Way under the banner ‘walking together’. Across six stages, the pilgrimage included time to gather, pray and reflect. Participants carried prayer requests, reflected on the communities through which they travelled, left messages of hope for others to discover, and enjoyed many unexpected conversations. Reaching St Andrews brought our walk to an end but also reminded us why we began. Celebrating 140 years is not only about looking back with gratitude, but also about continuing to journey together in faith, community and mission. – AH

ISLE OF MAN JEFF Mugwagwa was enrolled as a soldier by corps leader Captain Rachael Nieuwoudt. Jeff shared his story of how God led him to attend the corps after moving to the island for work.

He chose the song ‘I Have Decided to Follow Jesus’, which strongly emphasised his testimony to renew his walk of faith. – DN
SNETTISHAM IT brought great encouragement to witness the enrolment of Ian Higgins by corps leader Lieutenant Emily Hague. The corps has seen him grow in faith and trust in Jesus over the past few years. Ian thanked God for the journey he is now on, acknowledging that God never gave up on him. He finally heard Jesus knocking on the door of his heart, and responded by letting him in. Since then, through continued discipleship and learning from Jesus – especially his command to love God, love our neighbours, and care for people in need – his life has been transformed. Through faith in Jesus Christ, and because of God’s amazing love and grace, he has found forgiveness, purpose and a place where he can serve God by serving others. He gave all the praise and glory to Jesus, whose patient love has faithfully led him home to the corps. Ian and Lieutenant Emily are pictured with Andy, a soldier at the corps.– EH

BERWICK SARAH Sam and Yvonne Mavin were enrolled as soldiers, and Jeanette Virtue was welcomed as an adherent by corps leaders Captains Novella and Timon Stettler (now at Zurich North, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary Territory).

It was inspirational to hear their different testimonies and a beautiful celebration of their commitment to Jesus and the Army. – TS
MALDON WE had the joy of welcoming Linda Gowers and Sarah Smith as adherents. Linda shared her testimony, explaining how she never felt good enough to be a Christian because of her dyslexia and the feeling that she was not as clever as other people. She then discovered at The Salvation Army that Jesus loves and accepts all of us just as we are and made each of us uniquely. Linda shared her realisation that the most important thing is not what she is able to do, but simply that Jesus loves her. Sarah also shared a personal testimony detailing her journey fighting leukaemia, and how that left her in a very dark and lonely place. She shared how coming to the Army with her two sons brought her out of that dark place, and she realised what it meant to be loved, saved and promised eternal life by Jesus. She believes that Jesus saved her in her battle with cancer, and that he has changed her life since, as she has chosen to follow him. Linda and Sarah are pictured with corps leader Lieutenant Anastasia Layton. – AL
ENFIELD MATTHEW Hill was enrolled as a soldier by corps leaders Captains Dawn and Glenn Roden.
