Though we haven't had any official correspondence to date, it is evident that our territory has decided to give our 'non-commissioned' ministry personnel the rank of 'envoy'. Yes, it is true! History does has a habit of repeating itself. Don't get me wrong ~ this, in itself, is not a bad move. I have many fond memories of envoys who served faithfully and made a real spiritual impact, not only on myself personally, but in the lives of countless others as well.
Our Army needs men and women who are called of God to make themselves available for ministry and service, whether for a short-term, long-term or with the future possibility of entering full-time service as officers.
Envoy = Messenger or Agent
Pray for those who have offered, and will offer, themselves to become 'messengers' within our territory, bringing a much-needed spiritual message of hope and healing as a worthy 'agent of God'.
Proverbs 13:17 (NIV)
"A wicked messenger falls into trouble, but a trustworthy envoy brings healing."
