Traralgon Corps' New Facilities

My heart leapt for joy this afternoon as I witnessed the official dedication of the Traralgon Corps' new worship facilities [pictured below] and celebrated with them the completion of the building project that marks another new chapter in the life of this faithful community of believers.
As corps officers from 1999-2003, my wife and I counted it a privilege to share in ministry with and leadership alongside these great people of God as they whole-heartedly proclaimed the power of His love to transform not only their own lives, but their local community.
In his dedicatory message, Commissioner Jim Knaggs (TC) summed it up well when he exhorted all present to build their lives on the Lord Jesus Christ. Doing this, we can be certain of a God-glorifying outcome every time, both corporately and individually.
"Joy is the flag flown high from the castle of my heart...
Let it fly in the sky, let the whole world know that
the King is in residence there!"
God bless Traralgon Corps!
God bless Captains Andrew and Jeanette van Gaalen!
