Many people have also expressed appreciation for our great staff. To be able to handle the logistics when the house is filled with twice the amount of people that could normally fit into our premises. To feed more than 400 people in less tha 45 minutes with no feeling of hurry or of being crowdy. We just agree. We have a large group of enthusiastic young people with the attitude than nothing is to difficult.
We look back to the event with great gratitude and I believe it is important for us to create celebrations like this. It strengthen the feeling that we are a lot of people being together in this work. Especially for those coming from small villages with few people in the corps.
But when the party is over the work continuous in the many different Salvation Army operations in Latvia. Soup-kitchen, distribution of clothes, showers, washing clothes, Bible studies, prayer meetings, recruit meetings, home visits and meetings.
We still stick to our three-fold vision: Salvation - Discipleship-making - helping the suffering humanity. Last Sunday the corps, Riga 1, celebrated their twenty year anniversary, two days after the regional celebration. The new entrance door to the corps symbolizes our vision:
-Through that door many people will come and find salvation. In the corps they will be trained and discipled and as part of their training they will be sent out through the door to minister to suffering people in our society. On their way back through the door they will bring new people who will be saved. When they are saved they will be discipled and then sent out through the door to reach out to a suffering neighborhood. When they are coming back through the door they will bring....
This is our vision and for this we live.
