Pioneers
The Pioneers Session reunion is taking place this weekend. We wish them well.
They, and many like them are the reason The Salvation Army in Australia is the most trusted brand.
They would remind us that it has been God’s doing.
I agree, but add: It’s been God’s doing through their faithfulness.
Hallelujah!
“[Treasures in Heaven] “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”- Matthew 6:19-21

The 10 members of the “Pioneers” session (1959/60) who attended their sessional reunion were honoured to welcome our territorial leaders, Commissioners James and Carolyn Knaggs, when they ministered to us during our jubilee reunion. Four honorary “Pioneers” – i.e. spouses married to session members were included in the group. Five other “Pioneers” dispersed throughout Australia sent their greetings and were embraced in prayerful fellowship; ‘though sundered far, by faith we meet, around one common mercy seat’. With gratitude to God we salute the training staff who, by word and example, taught us effective lessons about officership. We will continue to look to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith (Heb. 12:2 RSV).
Thank you, Commissioner. We remain in your debt.
