Pilgrim Soldier

On Wednesday The Salvation Army’s Territorial Candidates Council met and considered my application for officership. The result was “Not yet recommended” which means that I will have to go back to an Assessment Conference this time next year after going through the things that the Army feel will benefit my future officership.

The positive part is that from the information I’ve seen so far, they don’t doubt my calling at all and in fact seem very keen to have me. However, there is this one area they want me to work on before being considered again next year!

So apart from being a little shocked and confused, I need to pick myself up and get on with life. It does though, throw our plans for the summer into total confusion as at this precise second we have no home or jobs from mid-August and no idea at all where we will live in the UK.

We know though that we can trust in God as He has everything in hand and will not let us down in anyway!
