Tuesday we had our monthly Leader´s day in Riga. Our Officers, Cadets and managers for the social institutions come together one day per month for information and sharing. But this day was historic! Leaders from the other Baltic states took part. It was a very positive day. The day sarted with Isabel Beckett leading us in worship. The Regional Commander in Estonia, Daniel Henderson, did the morning devotion and told about the Salvation Army work in Estonia. Joakim Storck from Lithuania told about the growing work in the only corps in Lithuania, which is situated in Kalipeda. I told about Latvia and Norm Beckett had a great Bible study.
The rest of the day we shared in language groups and prayed together.
