Ambassadors Of Holiness

God is continuing to raise up people and prepare them for a life of covenanted ministry and service through The Salvation Army. I clearly remember the moment when I arrived at 303 Royal Parade some 15 years ago ~ a further personal confirmation of my 'divinely-purposed' calling.

There are now 24 accepted candidates for the Ambassadors Of Holiness session. Each of them has a unique awareness of God's guiding grace that will set them on an amazing journey of ministry in Jesus' name.

As I reflect on their personal commitment in answering God's call, I am drawn to the Apostle Paul's pastoral prayer from Ephesians 3 and offer it up as an intercession for those mentioned above as they make preparations to commence their officer training in February 2009 ~ and indeed for those who will join them.

"...may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within (you), to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think."

Ephesians 3:18-20 (NLT)
