  • 24-7 Prayer Revolution
    24-7 PRAYER REVOLUTION Dear Friends and Partners in Prayer, We enter into a new year counting it a privilege once again to be partners in the Gospel of our Lord Jesus (Philippians 1:3–5), and enriched by your partnership in prayer. We continue to experience with you the power of prayer for this territory and our lives. It is evident as we travel across the territory that God continues to do new things in and through this great movement – The Salvation Army. As we enter into this new year, we enter with a renewed strategic vision. “Still Fighting” – rooted in the words of William Booth’s great “I’ll Fight” speech yet applied to the world in which we live – 150 years since The Salvation Army began in the East End of London. While there remains one dark soul without the Light of God – we will fight. We are an Army – an Army still fighting – and we recognise that our strength is in our lived experience of prayer. In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul speaks of the need to put on the whole armour of God. He then goes on to write: “And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.” (Ephesians 6:18 NIV). Always keep on praying! Let us use this prayer guide to mobilise us to pray without ceasing. The prayer requests and focused areas provide a launch pad to pray for a fresh moving of God across our territory and around the world.

    ENFIELD BAND TOUT? OF AUSTRALASIA 1980. Wednesday August 27, 1980• After many months of preparation the moment of departure from Enfield S.A. Hall had finally arrived. It seemed hardly credible that we were to depart from England for four weeks. After checking through customs the massive Boeing 747 awaited us on the tarmac. The size of this machine was awe-inspiring, especially when one realises that the first ever flight travelled less distance than the inside of the 747 fuselage. The travelling time door to door was in all 48 hours, with four stops en route - Bahrain, Kuala Lumpa, Singapore and Darwin. We had to wait a few hours in Sydney before we were once again in another Boeing 747 bound for Auckland, arriving at 2.30 local time. Just to make us feel welcome, this 747 to New Zealand had the registration ECB. On arrival at Auckland we were welcomed by about 20 Salvationists from various Corps who had taken time off to greet us. All luggage being checked at Auckland Congress Hall the band unpacked all their instruments and rehearsed for an hour. Our tour leader Major Idwal Evans spoke with us and quoted a well known phrase, •Christ's Disciples being sent unto the uttermost parts of the earth'. Saturday August 30, The following morning we were transported to the Haymarket Theatre for a second rehearsal which left the majority of the afternoon free for sight-seeing. A march was held through the main thorough- fare to the theatre. Enfield was preceded by the local citizens contesting band.
