I am Pentecostal in my faith system and grew up in the AOG in South Africa but became an adherant of the Salvation Army in the 1990s [I still have my badge somewhere] when there was no AOG church in my town. Later I returned to support the newly opened AOG Church.
I have always loved the Salvation Army for its stand on the gospel and determination to reach the unsaved. We lived next door to the Salvo officers in Queenstown South Africa and Jane and I used to play together through the high fence surrounding their home [I think we weren't supposed to associate for some reason but kids don't care about that]. My dad was the minister of the AOG church there.
I have very fond memories of Captain Jim Ellem and also the time when the Salvation Army helped me during a period of unemployment.
Just thought I'd like to say hi, thanks for the memories and keep up the good work.
