Corps Happenings

Yesterday, we started our fall Revival with Major Henry Hunter. Major Hunter was the CO here from 1984-1988. We had a great turn out for our Sunday morning meeting which doubled as Homecoming for the Corps. We had somewhere around 53 in attendance. This was one of (if not) the largest Sunday's since we got here. Now, the numbers aren't as important (nice...but, not as important) as the fact that people who don't normally go to church got a chance to hear the Gospel. Major Hunter (for those who know him) didn't pull any punches. He was indeed to the point and was used by God. Now, we are also having some major struggles with some of our teenagers. We have some who have stopped coming (by definition for all the "drama") some who were just lazy for the second week in a row, and another who has been placed in a special facility for some personal issues. We love these kids dearly and hurt more when these kinds of things happen. We wish we could just take them all and put them in this safe little cacoon for their own protection. But, what would they learn, what would we learn. This way, God is teaching us how to be His servants. We also know, that Satan is not pleased with what is going on with our young people. We know this because he has worked so hard the past year trying to take them away. Please pray for our kids, they need it more than ever. I am looking forward to Christmas starting, this is where I feel I am personally at my best. The DC is coming down in November and will be an exciting time for the Corps. Well, gonna go for now. Planning on going to the GA game Saturday. Maybe the team will come too!!! More on that later. Bye!
