Bread and Brushing up



While in Moldova this past week we saw some of that tasty homemade bread we so loved when we used to live in Chisinau, the capital city. We were there to renew our Russian visa and to teach employees and lay leaders materials on community in mission. Here Anita shares her thoughts on Salvation Army history.

An old cathedral and old familiar faces



We toured Christ the Savior Cathedral during our time in the Brengle Institute--it has a colorful history, and was beautifully restored from total destruction during the 1990's.

Here are all the delegates, including our leaders Commissioners William and Marilyn Francis out of International Headquarters in London.

Brengle Fun and Fauna



We celebrated Valentine's Day while at the Brengle Holiness Institute with flowers and candy (guess which gender took which...). Then we walked outside to enjoy several days of fresh falling snow.

Brengle Seminar



Recently we held the Eastern Europe Territory's second Brengle Holiness Institute. Commissioners Bill and Marilyn Francis flew in from London to lead the sessions, and a tremendous time was had by all. Here you see Captain Valery Lalac sharing his testimony. Each delegate presented fifteen minutes recounting his or her life of faith.
