Back in 1968, when Dabak first arrived at The Salvation Army's Children's Home as a 3 year old girl, the then Captain Moira Wright (pictured) was the superintendent who was responsible for accepting Dabak into residential care. Moira's remarkable dedication to her officership ministry and 33 years of missionary service is charaterized (even today!) by courage, encouragement and a deep desire to see others grow to be strong in their Christian faith.Currently retired to her home country of New Zealand, we have been privileged to have Moira stay with us for a few days enroute to Malaysia, where she will join in the Army's 70th anniversary celebrations.
Distance is no barrier, for all these years later Moira is still interested in each of her "children" and maintains contact with them wherever they are around the world. Dabak and I know firsthand the blessing of being the recipients of her motherly care!
The words of SASB 426 are indicative of Moira's conviction and cause us to give praise to God for this remarkable woman of God.
I want, dear Lord, a love that cares for all,
A deep, strong love that answers every call;
A love like thine, a love divine, a love to come or go;
On me, dear Lord, a love like this bestow.
I want, dear Lord, a soul on fire for thee,
A soul baptized with heavenly energy;
A willing mind, a ready hand to do whate'er I know,
To spread thy light wherever I may go.
