High Council 2011

As I write, The Salvation Army's 17th High Council has now convened for the sacred task of electing our next International Leader - the Army's 19th General.

This is an historic gathering for two reasons:
1. There are be 109 members present - the largest ever gathering of its kind!
2. Composed of 57 women and 52 men - the first time that women outnumber men at such an event!

As I commit myself to a focussed time of intercessory prayer for this most sacred task that is theirs to fulfill, I sincerely seek God's empowerment upon each of the High Council members claiming this scriptural promise from Numbers 16:7, "... The (wo)man the LORD chooses will be the one who is holy..."

GOD BLESS THE SALVATION ARMY!
