A New Thing Join us in what God is doing across the territory.

BY COMMISSIONERS FLOYD AND TRACEY TIDD

We’re listening. We’re looking. We’re learning. In these earliest months of our time back in the Canada and Bermuda Territory, we have been listening, looking and learning. Listening to people share their hearts, hopes and dreams, for not only The Salvation Army, but for their neighbourhoods and communities. We are looking and finding God at work, using the Army to transform communities—and transforming the Army. We’re learning that people are stepping up with anticipation, responding to God’s leading in their lives and in the lives of others around them. We’re learning that God is doing a new thing.

We are grateful to all who connected with us as we’ve travelled across the territory. We have carefully read the responses of more than 800 people who shared their perspective through an online survey in December. We are already sensing the impact of well over 1,000 people across the territory who are actively participating in the 100 Days of Unceasing Prayer and Shared Scripture. God is listening to the prayers of his people and speaking through his Word, and in the conversations people have as they share what they are learning through the prayers and Scripture passages.

We look forward to sharing the results of the online survey in the next issue of Salvationist. And it’s not too late to join the 100 Days of Unceasing Prayer and Shared Scripture (salvationist.ca/100days). We will provide another opportunity for people to share their reflections as we enter the final days of the campaign and approach Easter.

Continue with us to listen, look and learn—confident that as we seek God with our whole heart, we will find him. He is doing a new thing (see Isaiah 43:19), and he doesn’t want us to miss it. In fact, he wants us to join him in what he is doing.
