Pilgrim Soldier

Following a meeting this morning I sat down at my desk to find the following e-mail in my inbox:

No doubt you will be delighted to note that the Officer Review Board - having carefully considered your application to be a single spouse officer - have approved the application, and the [leader of The Salvation Army in the UK] has endorsed it.

This is the first hurdle leaped in my route towards full-time ministry as an officer in The Salvation Army. The next step is my assessment conference that will take place in the UK from 16th - 18th February 2007!

Whilst my application has been proceeding as if this was already the case to get the official confirmation was extremely exciting. God has made this call so clear in my life that even this little step gives me incredible joy!
