-in the Arab world the people are protesting aginst their leaders in one country after another
-in Europe the economic crisis is escalating
-will Israel attack the nuclear settlements in Iraq?
When I see what is happening I am reminded of a song we used to sing in the Salvation Army when I was younger: "When world countries are shaking and trembling down, and everything seems to be falling, then it is good to have your house build on the rock that will stay forever" (my translation)
There are many signs pointing towards the second coming or Christ:
-An economic crisis which seems impossible to handle by the present leadership
-An increasing international aggressive approach to the state of Israel
Meanwhile we keep on doing our work in the Salvarion Army in Latvia. The week has been filled by budget meetings and assessment talks, but we have also been working with two major co-operation projects:
-We have had a visit from the leader of the Salvation Army work among alcohol- and drug addicts in western Norway. We plan to start a cooperation project in Latvia supported by Norway.
-Is seems as we will recieve money for a EU-project together with a partner aiming to help people enter the labour market. People who have up til now never have succeeded to enter the labour market
Today it is Sunday morning and soon time to travel to Iecava for the Sunday morning service. The corps has just started a course for people interested in becoming members in the Salvation Army. Today we will also hand out certificates for the faithful volunteers in the corps.
Have a blessed week
