New corps in Drusti

If you drive northeast out of Riga towards Moscow one and a half hour, and then turn right on a sand road 16 km out in the rural areas you will end up in the village of Drusti. In Drusti the Salvation Army has been running an outpost for several years and the last two years the outpost has enrolled a number of soldiers. Last Sunday the outpost was upgraded to become a Salvation Army Corps. The new corps in Drusti is corps number eight in Latvia.
The congregation was gathered long time before the meeting started
The children sang "This little light of mine"

The Soldiers´ register was handed over to the corps leader...
...and the flag with the number eight
Ruth, Peter and Iveta singing trio
Cadet Arturs giving his testimony
After the meeting we had information about the Salvation Army internationally and in Latvia

  The mercy seat in Drusti comes from the Salvation Army Hall in Nacka.
Aftrer the meeting there was of course fellowship round the tables. Here is the children´s table.

  1. This is so wonderful. I had a few visits to Drusti where I lead Bible Studies and also preached on occasions. It was Drusti that I took a dozen Bibles and gave them to people who had never owned a Bible in their own language. It makes me so happy to see the work has advanced to being a Corps. I do remember the new Corps Officer, I'm not sure if I remember her name or not, is it Ilona? Please let her know I will be praying for her. Will she be living in that house? It looks like there has been work done on the building. God Bless each of you. Wilma Paterson
