GOOD NEWS!

Captain Patrick Wilson (pictured above)pauses for a second when asked

what is behind the recent movement of God at the Salvation Army’s Adult Reha-bilitation Center (ARC) in Cleveland.

“The Holy Spirit,” answers Wilson, the ARC’s administrator.

On Christmas morning, the ARC moved into a newly renovated chapel as part of a complete overhaul of the building. Over the next three months, more than 116 men came forward to make a fi rst–time commitment to Jesus and another 237 came to deepen their relationship with God.

“Being in the new chapel is really excit-ing for us,” says Captain Patrick Ward, the assistant offi cer at the ARC. “I think the Holy Spirit really moves in our new chapel.”

The renovated chapel at the 140–bed ARC features new lighting, chairs, car-peting, and a state–of–the–art sound system—all the better to hear the New Creation Choir, made up of former ad-dicts who are new creations in Christ.

“We had to reduce our intake by about a third because of the [renovation proj-ect],” Wilson says. “It’s been pretty hectic, but the people who have come here have really made a commitment to change their lives. God’s been blessing us.”

Wilson also credits a “dedicated staff of born–again believers,” including three ordained ministers.

“Most of the leadership positions here are held by graduates of the [ARC] pro-gram and all are born–again believers,” he says. “There’s a strong witness here.”

In this Good News! you’ll see how ministry continues to matter in the Eastern Territory, from local corps initiatives to territory–wide

conferences, from VBS (Vacation Bible School) programs to ARC (Adult Rehabilitation Centers) outreach. You’ll also see how the School for Offi cer Training (SFOT) is deepening its reach into academia with a new degree program for cadets.

You’ll read how corps are building on the Army’s essential core values by creating new initiatives on its tried–and–true ministry platform.

But most important, you’ll see how these programs are creating exciting venues for God’s love to show through the lives of committed Salvationists such as yourself and others.

One day on the way home from a holiness meeting, a little girl said to her mom, “The corps offi cer’s sermon confused me.”

“Oh? Why was that, honey?” the mom asked.“Well, he said that God is bigger than we are. Is that true, Mommy?”“Yes, dear,” the mother said. “And he said that God lives in us. Is that true, Mommy?” Again, the mother said, “Yes.”“Well then,” said the little girl, “if God is bigger than us, and He lives in us, wouldn’t He

show through?”Yes! We are successful in what we do when God shows through our programs, ministries,

and methods.Today, may He continue to effectively show through your passionate heart for others as

you help build His Kingdom, one person at a time.

FROM THE EDITOR >>

Major Robert Kramer will be attending the 214th session at the International

ARC overhauls building, souls continued from page 1 > >

Wilson says counselors Hiawatha Nowden and Louis Woolley are both ordained ministers. Salvation Army Lieutenant Emmet Jones, another ordained minister, is also a counselor.

Among the ARC graduates are counselor Stanley Foster, intake coordinator Reginald Curgil, and resident supervisor David Lloyd.

Wilson is an ARC grad who went through the program 17 years ago in Boston. He be-came an offi cer in 2000 and likes to proclaim, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17, NIV 2011)

“I witness to the hope of change in an individual’s life through a relationship with Jesus Christ,” he says.

The witness is paying off as both Wilson and Ward say they see among the men an unprecedented hunger for God.

“We have had a major increase in the number of people who have been doing Bible studies every week,”

Ward says. “More of the guys are doing it than ever before right now.”

Once the men fi nish a Bible study series, they get a special Life Recovery Bible.

“We’ve got a lot of men who have been reconciled with their families and chil-dren,” Wilson says. “They’re anxious to start soldier classes and adherent classes.

“The things that were im-portant to them before in their life … their addictions and the things of this world, are no longer important to them.”

Woolley agreed, saying the men he counsels “want the change in their lives.”

“After about four weeks, you can even see in their countenance an excitement,” he says. “It’s no longer the

staff initiating the conversa-tion around Jesus, but the benefi ciaries are coming in and sharing testimonies: ‘God is helping me in this area’ … ‘I need to get closer with Jesus.’ That’s some of the more excit-ing parts.

“We put a strong emphasis on the power of God in our success for recovery.”

To get some of the men out of their comfort zones and teach them about Christian charity, Ward has initiated “servant evangelism” projects, including a trip to a local nurs-ing home on Palm Sunday. About 20 of the men planted fl owers and gave cards to the 80 residents.

“They really like going and helping other people,” says Ward, who took

the men back to the nursing home on Mother’s Day.

Ward says Holy Week was a blessing at the ARC with special services. More than 26 men dedicated their lives to Christ and 48 men and wom-en challenged themselves to deepen their commitment.

Woolley says he is excited to see what God has in store for the ARC between Easter and Christmas.

When asked to sum up the movement of God at the Cleveland ARC, Wilson again paused before saying he likes the bumper sticker, “God is good.”

“The reply is, ‘All the time!’ God is good and He’s going to bless us if we’re faithful to Him,” Wilson says.

On June 8, the “Friends of Christ” session will graduate from the

School for Offi cer Training (SFOT) with a new degree designation from the state of New York.

In December 2004, New York State’s (NYS) Board of Regents had accredited SFOT with the authority to confer the Associate in Occupational Studies (AOS) degree.

In April 2012, the Board of Regents authorized a change to the Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree.

Major Eva Geddes, director of cur-

riculum at the SFOT, said the AOS is considered a vocational degree, but the AAS is considered more academic.

Geddes said that, in addition to practical ministries applications, the AAS contains more elements of a liberal arts degree, which will provide offi cers greater credibility toward earn-ing a bachelor’s degree at colleges and universities.

“The NYS Board of Regents ex-pressed acclamation of the integration of the liberal arts elements into our basic curriculum,” Geddes said.

Drive down the street of any American city and

you might expect to see the family dog on the porch, even in winter. But in that cold season, you wouldn’t expect to see a person hanging out on a porch for long.

A few years ago in Akron, Ohio, you would have seen such a sight: a slovenly, frowzy man wrapped tightly in blankets and plastic, sleep-ing on an enclosed porch.

Doug Combs, a man in his early 40s, had envisioned a different life. He had been married to his high school sweetheart and had owned the home with that porch. What happened to Doug is common for many who choose the path of drugs and alcohol.

As his substance abuse escalated, the frequency of his mortgage payments dwindled. In 2003 his wife grew tired of his lifestyle. She moved out, along with the couple’s 16–year–old son.

Within a year, the utilities companies cut services to his home. With no gas, electric, or water, Doug’s American Dream had become a night-mare.

To fl ush his toilet, he cap-tured rainwater in a 55–gallon drum. To eat, he roasted hot dogs over a trash pile. His life was vanishing before him just like the smoke from that pile

of trash. He slowly began to realize that he was caught in the devil’s snare.

As the winter of 2004 ar-rived, Doug began sleeping on his enclosed porch because the sunlight actually kept it warmer than his house.

In April 2005, Doug found himself at the Salvation Army’s Akron Citadel soup kitchen. That’s when I ap-proached him. In those days, I was the newly hired program director. A friendship quickly sprouted between us and, following the free lunch, we endeavored to start a Bible study.

A spiritual spark brought

enlightenment to Doug’s weary mind as he saw that someone did care about him. That Someone was Jesus Christ. Doug started coming to chapel services at Akron Citadel and attending Bible study.

Within a few months after Doug started his spiritual journey, he encountered a setback. He lost his temporary job. Discouragement set in, and he found himself once again relying on drugs and alcohol to dull the pain. He disappeared from church.

After a few weeks of wal-lowing in the mire, Doug heard a knock at his door. It was me. Doug said that he was so touched that someone cared so much to actu-ally come look-ing for him. From that moment on,

Doug has been a vital part of the ministry at the Akron Cita-del. Since October 2005, he’s been free from drugs, alcohol, smoking cigarettes, and even cursing. And he gives God the praise for it all.

Doug is so faithful to the ministry that I call him “Clock-work.” Today, he teaches at the soup kitchen Bible study or at the Akron ARC. My greatest reward has been to watch Doug preach from the Citadel pulpit with his ex–wife and son in attendance.

His journey from the porch to the pulpit has been amazing.

The Old Orchard Beach Camp Meet-ings are always a time of spiritual

nourishment and refreshment, and this year’s program will again feature a choice of two Bible studies.

Commissioners William and Marilyn Francis, longtime USA Eastern officers who are now retired, will lead a Bible study at 10:30 a.m. each weekday in the OOB Corps Chapel.

Captains Billy and Annalise Francis, the son and daughter–in–law of the Commis-

sioners Francis, will lead a Bible study on the beach each day at the same time. The Captains Francis are USA East officers who

recently returned from an appoint-ment in the West-ern Territory.

Commissioner William Francis said his Bible study will consider the seven feasts ordered by God in

Leviticus 23.“Jesus often chose these na-

tional festivals as settings to make astonishing statements about Himself, His Father, His relation-ship to the Word of God, and to the world He came to save,” Francis says. “We will explore the historic meaning of each feast, its relationship to Jesus’ life and teaching, and the prophetic promises contained in the feasts.”

Francis says the great truths of Scripture are celebrated and taught annually through the Jew-ish Feasts.

“Some mistakenly consider the feasts to be little more than ethno–religious celebrations of inconsequential meaning for the follower of Christ,” he says. “To the contrary, these sacred

festivals provide a fascinating link to Christianity’s historic and spiritual roots in Judaism.”

Captain Billy Francis said the theme of the Beach Bible study will be “Christ, the Wounded Healer: Finding hope in strong currents and wholeness in deep waters.”

“Henri Nouwen called Jesus the ‘Wounded Healer,’ ” Francis says, “the only One who can meet us in those places of wounding and graciously give healing, renewal, and transformation.

“This week’s study will focus on mo-ments of Christ’s meeting people in those broken places both in Scripture and our personal journey.”

This year’s camp meetings, scheduled for July 28–Aug. 3, will feature General Linda Bond; Commissioners R. Steven and Judith A. Hedgren, territorial lead-ers; Commissioners William and Nancy Roberts, national leaders; and the Inter-national Staff Songsters. The theme will be “Army Essential/Essential Army.”

The territory’s Creative Arts Services Team (CAST) will present the C.S. Lewis classic “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” on Aug. 1.

On Aug. 2, the camp meetings will move to the Pier and feature the best of Salvation Army dancers, singers, actors, illusionists, and more.

The camp meetings will close on Aug. 3 with a concert by Christian artist Mi-chael W. Smith.

Not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.

Corps Sergeant–Major (CSM) Cotton Presley of

Fayetteville, Ark., will speak during a weekend of meet-ings honoring CSMs in the Eastern Territory. From June 8–10, the Territorial Confer-ence Center will serve as the venue for this historic recognition of local offi cers who serve as head lay persons at their respective corps.

Presley, a Vietnam veteran and graduate of the University of Arkansas, has been president of the Modern Fence & Supply Company for 36 years. He is a board–certifi ed chaplain and has spoken at the Old Orchard Beach Camp Meetings and at Adult Rehabilitation Centers events in the territory.

In 1986 while suffer-ing from alcoholism and drug addiction, Presley accepted Christ. Shortly afterward, he attended a 12–Step meeting where he met The Salvation Army.

Although he is known as an expositor of Scrip-ture, Presley is still active in a 12–Step program and considers it his primary mission fi eld to reach oth-ers for Christ.

Presley’s teaching ministry has been local, national, and international in scope. He also ministers one–on–one with Christian leaders both in and out of the Army. He serves as CSM and Sunday school teacher at his corps in Springdale, Ark.

He is married with one son.

CsM edward gooding, o.F. award recipientOn June 16, 1980, at an International Congress in Kansas City, Mo., Corps Sergeant–Major Edward Gooding received the Order of the Founder (O.F.), the rarely given and highest honor possible for a Salvationist. The award recognized Gooding for having modeled the values and ideals that exemplify true Salvation-ism. Last year he retired, having rendered 78 years of distinguished service and outstanding Christian witness at the Boston (Roxbury), Mass., Corps.

At the award ceremony, Gooding fl ashed his irrepressible smile. A vast audience stood as the man known as ‘Sarge” accepted the honor.

Through the years, corps offi cers came and went. But the community could always depend on Gooding to be there for them and to provide the continuity and stability needed amid the challenging civil rights era, gen-erational evolutions, neighborhood demographic shifts, and unavoidable transitions in leadership.

He was particularly grateful for what the Army had helped him avoid in life. In 2000, he said, “[The Army] saved me from many problems and troubles people are going through. I’ve never known what it means to be down in the gutter with no direction in life. I thank The Salvation Army for that blessing.”

Alexis (above) was sent to the Salva-tion Army’s Bridging the Gap (BTG)

program in Worcester, Mass., about a year ago by his probation offi cer.

“I’ve actually learned a lot of stuff here,” he says. “I’ve learned how to control my anger, how to not fi ght, and how to respect other people.

“I fi nd myself safe when I come here. I feel a lot better now.”

Alexis, 16, has also stayed in school, and Amanda Thompson, BTG coordinator, has made him part of the leadership team.

The story is similar for 13–year–old Mynisia (pictured reading the Bible, next page), who was suspended from school several times for fi ghting. After about six weeks in the program, her grades started improving.

“My principal says I’m doing better,” she says.

Mynisia credits Thompson for being an infl uence in her turnaround.

“She helps me with my homework,” Mynisia says. “She helps me to control my anger.”

BTG is a 12–week youth diversion program for juvenile offenders that is active in 13 Salvation Army corps in the Massachusetts Division.

The youth, ages 12–17, must show up at the corps three days a week for three

hours, continue their education by stay-ing in school or seeking a GED, and must remain crime–free. If they are successful in completing the program, their criminal record is expunged.

The program is wildly successful in Springfi eld, Mass., where about 250 kids attend each year and 89 per-cent become law–abiding citizens. Thompson has about 30 youth at any one time in Worcester.

Thompson teaches from a carefully crafted curriculum and invites speak-ers from law enforcement and other professions.

Curriculum topics include self–es-teem, communication skills, goal–setting, education and employment, money management, rights and responsibilities, culture and diversity, relationships, mor-als and values, confl ict resolution, and health, with a special emphasis on addic-

tions, body image, and preventing STDs, HIV, and teen pregnancy.

The curriculum also includes “Salvation Army Perspectives” on each topic, as well as Bible verses.

While the BTG program isn’t explicitly Christian, Thompson says many kids come to an optional Friday night session where she shares Christ openly. Thomp-son’s assistant, Danny Diaz, who grew up in Worcester, also shares with the kids on Fridays.

“We’ve had eight students come to Christ through this program,” she says.

Thompson says a probation officer recently called her and asked how one particular student had changed so dra-matically.

“I told him, ‘God changed this young man.’ They’re just totally different people,” Thompson says.

Thompson arrived two years ago to restart the BTG program in Worcester. Many of her clients come from probation or the family court system and some are in foster care.

A high school dropout who later graduated from Gordon College, Thomp-son also takes students on field trips to colleges such as nearby Holy Cross.

“We want them to know that we be-lieve they can go on to college,” she says.

Thompson says such trips can inspire the students. She recalls how one female student on a field trip made friends with an admissions advisor, who wrote the girl a letter saying she believed she would see her in a few years for college. The girl, who is in foster care because both of her parents are in prison, framed the letter.

“She said, ‘No one has ever written anything like this about me.’ It gives them hope,” Thompson says.

Thompson has also taught the stu-dents about Christian service by leading them to feed the hungry of Worcester.

“They were so professional and com-passionate about it,” she says. “They’ve lived in those neighborhoods and know what it’s like to not get lunch.”

Thompson is also a friend and advo-cate for her young people.

“The main thing I hear from them is, ‘I feel safe.’ They tell me if they could be here all the time, they would be,” Thompson says. “I have a hard time get-ting them to leave the building. They feel

like they belong to something.”Major Christine Rock, the program

secretary in the Massachusetts Division who oversees BTG statewide, credited program directors like Thompson and corps officers such as Majors Thomas and Bessie Babbitt in Worcester.

“The drastic changes we see are be-cause of the corps officer and directors, who are really committed to Christ,” Rock says. “The directors are making an investment in the lives of these students that goes beyond the 12 weeks.”

That is especially true for Thompson, who is driven by the memory of her

brother, Henry, who died six years ago of complications during his methadone treatment. (See Priority! Summer 2012.)

“I do what I do because I deal with a lot of kids who have lost family mem-bers, too, and I can relate,” she says.

Thompson feels a special bond to The Salvation Army because the organization was there for her after her brother’s death.

“I just feel proud and happy to be able to be part of The Salvation Army and helping,” she says. “God has really blessed this program in many ways and done so much with this program.”

Junior Soldier Rally, Camp Allegheny

WePasa rallies Through sTorM

ellwood City, Pa— Dark clouds gathered over Penn’s Forest on the eve of the Western Pennsylvania Divisional Sunday School Sum-mit, Junior Soldier, and Corps Cadet Rally. Heavy winds sent debris flying everywhere.

By the next morning, February 25, more than 100 participants had cancelled. Nonetheless, nearly 400 others, shrugging off the chill, traveled by van and en-tered Camp Allegheny’s Tabernacle.

Envoy Steve Bussey and students from the Railton School for Youth Worker Training were

guests for the week. They led a program assistant training ses-sion, worshipped at the united opening, and facilitated the Junior Soldier Rally. They taught using innovative game show props and team challenges.

The “I–Promise” techno theme laid the background for teach-ing the Junior Soldier Promise. Bussey then asked, “Who wants to be soldiers for Christ?” In response, children flocked to the altar.

In the cafeteria, Kelly Pope, a territorial Youth Department staffer, led the Corps Cadet Rally with an “All Access” theme. Some topics discussed were “How

do youth think other people see them?” “How do they see themselves?” and “How should they interact socially among peers?”

Officers, program assistants, and Alison Cornish, a Railton staffer, taught effective strategies in leading Sunday school classes.

Tools For liFe

Portland, Me—The Salvation Army of Greater Portland has expanded its “Tools for Life” program to include a series of classes for teenagers and young adults.

The classes include “Finding Your Ca-reer,” “Budgeting,”

“Etiquette,” “Relation-ships,” “Online Safety,” “Nutrition,” and “Stress,” says Major Penny Shaffer of the Portland Citadel Corps and Portland Commu-nity Services.

“The current partici-pants are from a juve-nile detention center and a residential sub-stance abuse center, but [the classes] are open to all,” Shaffer says.

The Tools for Life program provides the basic skills needed for self–sufficient living.

“The youth in our program are discover-ing that God has a better plan for them,” Shaffer says.

The classes (13–week series) are ongoing. The

original program for families started in the spring of 2010 and the youth program started in January 2012.

lancaster, oh—The Salvation Army Wor-ship & Service Center in Lancaster held a youth celebration Sunday in March.

Captain Debbie Stacy said the youth of the corps led Sunday school, which drew 55 people, and the Holiness meeting that followed with an at-tendance of 65.

“Children and leaders

shared their talents in worshiping the Lord and leading others into a relationship with Him,” she said.

The worship service featured dance, tim-brels, drum corps, and singing.

‘red shield’ WalK

rome, ny—On April 12, Major Leonard Boynton sent a mes-sage via Facebook to 10 of his soldiers at the Rome Corps. He told them he had a fund–raising idea he wanted to discuss.

All 10 people held a planning meeting for the Red Shield Benefi t Walk, scheduled the next day. Boynton said that,

although the 10 had limited corps involve-ment prior to receiving the message, they rose to the challenge.

“They are the future leaders of this corps, and it’s time for them to ‘step up to the plate’ and help the corps into fi scal solvency,” he says.

The June 9 walk is 1.7 miles and passes by other community “shields” such as police and fi re headquarters and the city court. The goal is to raise $10,000.

‘Thriving’ Children’s PrograM

norwalk, oh—The Norwalk Corps has started a Boys and Girls

Corps for children ages 6–12.

Elizabeth Brown Slie and her husband, Ja-son, run the program. Elizabeth is a graduate of Project 1:17, as is her brother, Jobe Cox.

“We are excited be-cause the kids are ex-cited and look forward to it each week,” says Debra Cox, the corps’ offi ce manager. “The kids from the Learning Zone and church kids are coming together for supper and activities.”

Slie uses the Sun-beam curriculum for the program, which happens every Wednesday from 6 to 7 p.m. Cox says the room is “packed” for a small town like Norwalk.

Shaping up, ‘kids only’ service, Bushwick back to basics

FiTness is Fun

norristown, Pa—The Women’s Ministry and Men’s Club at the corps here are “shaping up.”

Major Lynne Wit-tenberg, the corps officer, said employees, shelter guests, and corps members meet with personal trainer Margaret Shoemaker for 45 minutes each Wednesday at noon for a cardio and free weights workout.

“On Mondays and Fridays, we work out on our own in our fitness center,” Wit-tenberg said. “We have treadmills and elliptical and weight machines. The fellowship is great and some people said

that our laughter can be heard all over the building.”

‘Kids only’ serviCe

Kittaning, Pa—Ma-jor Pamela Rhodes noticed that none of the children who at-tended Moonbeams, Sunbeams, Girl Guards, and Boys Club at corps were coming to church.

“We decided that we would offer a kids–only church service,” Rhodes says. “We were thinking we could get them in with a different type of worship and teach them about God, Jesus, and what it means to wor-ship the one true God.”

Rhodes says 11

children showed up the first Sunday, including four who had never at-tended church before. Since that first Sunday, the corps has seen 17 new children and is hoping for more in the weeks ahead.

heMPsTead boys Club

hempstead, n.y.— The Salvation Army is offering a “Boys Club” program from 4 to 5 p.m. on Tuesdays, and Cadet Duglas Mendo-za, the assistant corps officer, says the young charges “are a joy.”

Mendoza and assis-tant Paul Niranjan run the program. The kids get a ride to the corps

and the night begins with an announce-ment, pledge, prayer, and an activity based on the topic. Scripture, the lesson, and a clos-ing prayer follow.

“I’m excited to run the club because we are able to teach kids about Jesus Christ and do a lot of fun activities with them at the same time,” Mendoza says.

The program, for boys pre–K to grade 5, began last year.

Joining Carridice in the effort are Alexan-dra Brown and Shawn Todd.

The groups meet on Tuesday and Wednesday nights and have a meal before each session.

Phoenix, aZ—Two individuals and one program from USA East received national rec-ognition at the recent National Social Services and Emergency Disas-ter Services (EDS) Con-ference in Phoenix.

Each U.S. territory re-ceived awards in three categories.

Florence Rhue, director of Children’s Services for the Eastern Pennsylvania and Dela-ware Division, received an Individual Excellence in Social Work.

Over the course of 21 years, Rhue has worked to develop the Foster Care initiative into a highly respected and fi nancially sound pro-gram. She has worked in every imaginable capacity, including balancing budgets, contracts, and com-municating with foster families.

From overseeing the entire program to cleaning the playroom, Rhue has been “an example of dedicated servant leadership that refl ects God’s love for His precious children.”

The “Sleeves Rolled Up” award for disaster management went to volunteer Allister MacLeod of the Mas-sachusetts Division. He began working for the division immediately after 9/11 when he brought his consider-able expertise from the government sector to

developing a response plan for large–scale disasters. He developed a detailed operations manual that has been used by many Salva-tion Army responders, including those from National Headquarters.

As a volunteer, MacLeod took the EDS program in Massachu-setts to a much higher level of preparedness, training, coordination, and partnerships, including a citywide project in Boston to deliver blankets to homeless people dur-ing the winter.

Al has served on the National EDS Committee and started the Massa-chusetts Committee.

He coordinated ef-forts for relocated Ka-trina survivors and the response to Hurricanes Irene and Lee. He has also supported almost every department at DHQ, providing leader-ship, guidance, and pastoral care. He is deeply respected by all who have worked be-side him over the past 10 years.

The Anew Center of the Jamestown, N.Y., Corps, received the Program Excellence Award. Conceived in 1985 after a bat-tered woman and her children came to the Jamestown shelter, Anew has been a vital service provider for the area ever since. Over the years, it has

become the designated referrral agency for all Chatauqua County mandated domestic violence programs.

While the program receives respect and recognition from the

community, it is the women and children helped that are its hallmark.

“No community is immune to the problem of domestic violence, said Major Donald

Hostetler, Empire State divisional commander. “The domestic violence program in Jamestown is a bright beacon in the community for women and children in need.”

RogeR M. SeveRen

Ten years have passed since the Salvation Army built

the first Ray & Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in San Diego. In February, as many as 200 people from all four U.S. territories gathered in Denver, Colo., for a Kroc and Community Center Conference to reflect on the past decade and to plan the future. The Western Territory, conference host, recognized the rise of many new Kroc centers around the country by addressing a wide range of relevant topics.

Representatives from various centers presented enlightening general sessions and work-shops. The Ashland, Ohio, Kroc Center was one of eight programs presented during a “best practices poster session.”

Following the conference, the National Kroc Task Force met, which includes Lt. Colonel Stephen Banfield, national program secretary and Eastern officer, and Major Jorge Diaz, property secretary from the Eastern Territory.

“Eastern Territory delegates gave the conference high marks,” said Roger M. Severen,

territorial field specialist for Property & Mission Expansion. The following are comments from several delegates.

reflections“Officers and professionals, consultants, and ministry–minded ‘worker–bees’ gath-ered to dream. Discussions on best practices, fitness–oriented concepts, mission–driven pro-gramming, and simple times of sharing highlighted the event. We explored questions such as, ‘How do we keep Salvation Army mission at the center of all we do?’ ‘How do we foster and maintain industry standards?’ ‘How do we keep “doing the most good” and also keep a balanced budget?’ and ‘How do we create a culture that honors God in all things?’

“I work with an amazing team, who deal with complex, time–consuming details every day. Nonetheless, we believe that, in the end, God will be glorified!”

—Mark Morton, program director, Camden, N.J., Kroc

Center “During the Search Institute

Youth Asset Development Ini-tiative training (YADI), which was a pre–conference two–day session, delegates shared ideas on how to build a youth program and how their pro-grams have influenced youth. The idea that we can create an environment for them that is safe and secure is priceless.

“I am extremely motivated and eager to build such pro-grams at the Boston Kroc Center. When I began work-ing there in 2011, I realized that the community’s youth needed an affordable place to go. Since then, I’ve been de-termined to discover what we can do as a center to increase youth awareness.

“God felt our hearts be-cause he instilled in the minds of conference organizers the idea that youth (especially Boston youth) need extra at-tention—such as YADI.”

—Marisol Ayala, Education Manager, Boston Kroc Center

“The subject of develop-mental assets [YADI] is one of the most innovative, insightful yet intrinsic strategies for youth development and beyond. The

way that the [workshop data] and research are coalesced and utilized in a practical way makes it simple for agencies to connect and resonate with peers, youth, family, and their community. The presentation really ‘hit home.’ ”

—Yhinny Matos, Boston Kroc Center, membership,

sales, and marketing manager

“All the conference prepara-tion notwithstanding, I knew the Lord had much more in store for us.

“The passion, drive, and sincerity of speaker Kay Coles–James was infectious. I left the dinner full of conviction, feel-ing the Holy Spirit, and proud to be a part of The Salvation Army RJKCCC. Working in a Kroc or any community center, you can catch yourself forget-ting about the mission and focusing on the dollar. Staying mission–focused and fiscally responsible is a daily balancing act. But at the end of day, we are working for a mission, rather than ‘the bottom line.’ “

—Carol Scurti, Ashland, Ohio, Kroc Center program

Five thousand dollars can go a long way in many parts

of the world. One of the USA Eastern Territory Mission Proj-ects this year was the refur-bishing of the nursery at the College for Offi cer Training in Latin America North.

With $5,280 donated from

the East, the territory was able to improve the build-ing occupied by the nursery and kindergarten. The work included repairing the ceiling and roof, painting, fi xing the bathroom, and adding a wall around the courtyard.

With a small amount of

money left over, the territory was also able to purchase some educational materials.

Lt. Colonel David Alarcón, principal of the training col-lege, said that the resources “helped us to deliver for this year and the years to come a more comfortable, hygienic,

and clean facility for our chil-dren.” He adds, “On behalf of the cadets of Latin America North and me, receive our gratitude for facilitating our mission to save, serve, and disciple servants for Jesus in the 10 countries of this splen-did territory.”

Priority! magazine wins award

Priority! magazine recently won a fi rst–place award

from the Evangelical Press Association (EPA) for its Fall 2011 issue marking the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terror-ist attacks.

The award was in the Single–Theme Section or Issue category of the EPA’s 2012 “Higher Goals in Christian Journalism” contest. The cover featured then–Major William Bamford wiping a tear from his eye and the headline “9/11: We Remember.”

Many offi cers, employees, volunteers, and others as-sociated with The Salvation

Army’s relief efforts contrib-uted to the issue by writing accounts of their experiences and providing photographs. EPA judges said that this approach was “exemplary journalism” that “allowed people’s fi rsthand stories to carry the weight.”

The judges described the magazine this way: “Powerful, powerful issue. First–person accounts fi lled with details, vignettes, glimpses of grace. Photos of every scene were just right. Enough pride in what The Salvation Army did, stopping short of triumpha-lism. Issue conveyed a depth

of feeling and commitment.”

“Our goal was to create an issue that would be a God–honoring tribute to the men and women of The Salvation Army who served so tirelessly fol-lowing this tragic day in our his-tory,” said Linda D. Johnson, editor. “As we put it together, we felt the Spirit’s help and guidance, and I think that’s what the judges recognized.

We are honored by the award, but the true honor belongs to the Lord who was there through it all.”

In the USA Eastern Territory, each corps is required to hold VBS annually for a

minimum of 15 hours. Many centers throughout the territory hold this excit-ing event during Spring Break (Holy Week) and throughout the summer months.

VBS continues to be one of the most profitable family outreach programs on The Salvation Army Calendar. It provides children with an opportunity to deepen their understanding of God’s Word, engage in fellowship, and receive

nurturing and spiritual guidance. VBS also gives adults and teenagers an op-portunity for service.

VBS takes on many different forms across the territory. Corps can choose between developing their own cur-riculum or purchasing a VBS curriculum. Whatever program is chosen, the goal is the same: “To reach children with the gospel of Jesus Christ and to help them to become His disciples.”

Here are some of the ways corps used VBS last year.

youngstown Citadel & Temple, ohThe Youngstown Citadel Corps and the Youngstown Temple Hispanic Ministries embarked on an outreach Bible school in August to link children and their fami-lies to the corps.

The VBS program started Wednesday evening and concluded with a Sunday graduation (to which families were invited). By the end of VBS, more than 100 children were involved, and 250 came to the community carnival.

VBS: Reaching children and families for Jesus

From its meager beginnings in Hopedale, IlL., in 1894 and New York’s East Side slums in 1898, the ministry

of Vacation Bible School (VBS) continues to provide meaningful Bible instruction for children and families

in many churches across the world.


“At the carnival we had a table set up for the parents to sign up their children for Boys Adventure Corps, Sunbeams, Moonbeams, and Girl Guards and music programs,” said Captain Harold Fritsch. “This worked out better than we could have anticipated; our fi rst Thursday of programs, we had 75 children here.”

—Captains Harold and Candy Fritsch, Captain Ida Perez

springfi eld Citadel, MaEach year in July, the Springfi eld Citadel Corps holds a Summer Literacy/VBS Camp. This unique program has all the components of a traditional VBS Program with a direct literacy focus.

During the VBS program, held for 20 days, many children’s reading levels improved from half a grade to one and a half grades. The program uses the New Jersey Division’s “Mission Literacy Cur-riculum” as well as a computer program called “Raz–Kids.” Major Linda–Jo Perks says that children have the opportunity to purchase 35–cent books from First-Books.org; each child takes home a new book every day of the program.

As in a traditional VBS program, chil-dren heard the message of God’s great love for them and had opportunities to

receive Christ as Savior. Of the 30 chil-dren who attended, 14 gave their lives to Christ.

—Majors Thomas and Linda–Jo Perks

amsterdam Corps, nyUsing Group Publishing’s “A Night in Bethlehem” Christmas VBS program, the Amsterdam Corps held a VBS program

with a difference. The focus of the pro-gram was outreach to families.

The program included a living nativity scene that the children were able to visit. The children had fun learning about the story of Jesus’ birth, playing games, and working on crafts related to Christmas and God’s gift of love. During the Christmas morning Holiness meeting, families were invited to take part as the children pre-sented a living nativity themselves. Follow-ing the Holiness meeting, everyone joined together for Christmas lunch.

brockton Citadel, MaThe Brockton Citadel engaged in an evangelistically focused VBS. The week prior to VBS, corps members distributed fl yers in the neighborhood and spoke with kids and parents about attending. The corps was blessed to have Envoys Kornwolf for part of the week; they wove their illusions ministry into Group Publishing’s PandaMania curriculum. We had an average daily attendance of 35 children; 21 received Christ for the fi rst time. The closing pizza party brought 58 people into our corps.

This year in March, the Future All Stars Weekend*

shared in the New York Staff Band’s (NYSB) 125th Anniver-sary celebrations. Delegates came from as far as Puerto Rico and Canada, which added to the event’s diversity.

The entire NYSB also at-tended, with each member aiming to sit alongside del-egates acting as role models and mentors. Four current band members came through the All Stars program.

The 67 delegates arrived a day earlier than usual to take in the NYSB’s concert, held at Star Lake Musicamp, the venue for the Future All Stars Weekend.

Highlighting Friday night were luminaries from both Salvation Army banding and the wider music world. The festivities began with a recital featuring Philip Cobb, who performed several items on trumpet, cornet, and flugel horn, as well as soloists from

the New York Staff Band: Derek Lance (solo cornet), Arthur Henry (principal horn), and Adam Fyn (principal baritone).

a memorable momentOne guest conductor after another led the combined bands of the NYSB and Future All Stars. These conductors included Philip and Derek Smith; Joseph Turrin (who conducted his composition “Hymn for Diana”); Peter Graham (with his march, “The Ambassadors,”); Heinrich Schmidt, bandmaster of the German Staff Band; Lt. Colo-nel Norman Bearcroft; Major John Mott, former Household Troops bandmaster; and Philip Cobb.

I (Andrew Wainwright) was also grateful for the opportu-nity to conduct my “Fanfare and Theme on Before the Throne,” which had been writ-ten especially for the weekend at Ron Waiksnoris’ request.

Commissioner R. Steven Hedgren, territorial com-mander, said that the guest conductors represented “de-cades of excellence in Army brass history and ministry .... What a night!”

While music–making clearly highlighted the weekend, of utmost value were the daily devotions as well as the Sunday morning worship meeting. Each NYSB member was assigned two or three delegates. After a time of teaching from Majors James and Sue Betts, territorial youth leaders, the groups discussed various issues. The theme, “Sweet Will of God,” centered on Christian living in the 21st century.

a powerful messageOn Sunday morning, del-egates shared testimonies, heard biblical teaching, and enjoyed the music. After Philip Cobb played “Lord with My All I Part,” Major James

Betts offered a message that will stay with me. Picking up Cobb’s cornet, Betts described it as a beautiful instrument. However, he also said it was just a piece of metal and could

have ended up as an anvil. He then placed the horn on the floor, raised a hammer, and took a swipe. Bang!

The audience and Cobb gasped. However, all fear abated as the hammer hit the floor several inches away. Betts said that a cornet, no matter how beauti-ful, will make such music only if played by a master. Drawing an analogy, he said that, in life, we will find our way only when we’re in the Master’s hands.

Many youngsters described how the weekend had influenced their lives by pro-viding a supportive Christian environment. A number of them had come from difficult backgrounds.

The final festival was held at a local church. Its vast audito-rium provided a great setting for the music created by the delegates. The NYSB began with Paul Lovatt–Cooper’s

“Enter the Galaxies.” Then the Future All Stars marched in to Norman Bearcroft’s “Fanfare and Processional.” They then presented “Fanfare and Theme on Before the Throne.” Caleb Laidlaw, the band’s 16–year–old principal cornet, performed alongside Philip Cobb in the duet, “Deliverance.” Caleb later described the weekend as the best of his life.

Other items presented were Stephen Bulla’s “Lift Up Your Voice” and “Tunesmith Over-ture,” the latter conducted by

Gordon Ward, NYSB deputy bandmaster, and “Portraits of St. Paul’s Epistles,” conducted by Derek Smith, who had been part of the weekend’s leadership team.

Finally, the NYSB joined the Future All Stars for George Marshall’s “Mighty

to Save;” the vocal item, “Would You Know?” (conducted by Dr. Dorothy Gates); and Paul Lovatt–Cooper’s “Vitae Aeternum.” The benediction was “Rock of Ages,” a moving and poi-gnant end to a truly wonderful weekend.

*The Future All Stars, now in its ninth year, was the brainchild of Band-master Ronald Waiksnoris. It offers up–and–coming brass talent ages 13–18 from around the USA Eastern Ter-ritory and beyond a chance to share a weekend of music–making and worship.
