Councils Challenges

Youth Councils is an awesome weekend. Imet the Lord and was saved at a YouthCouncils 17 years ago, (yes I know, Imgetting old!) at Long Point Camp. A fewyears later, again at a Youth Councils, I firstheard the Lord calling me to be a Salvation

Army Officer. My story is not unique asYouth Councils has had that kind of impacton many lives. My prayer for this YouthCouncils is that many more would come toknow Jesus as Savior, those that know theLord would walk away with a deeper, moremeaningful relationship with Jesus Christ,and that the Lord would once again use thisweekend to call young men and women intofull time ministry. God is faithful and Ibelieve that all of those things and MOREwill happen during our three days togetherat Camp Sebago in June.

My first challenge to you is simply this: keepyour heart open to the Lord and allow Himto speak into your life. Keep your ears openfor the Lords voice, if you listen closely,youll hear it! By the way, you may not wantto wait to Youth Councils to try this out. Giveit a shot right now, I highly recommend it :-)

My second challenge is this: Bring a friendHave a friend who doesnt know the Lord?Bring them along! Someone invited me 17years ago, Im so glad they did! Have afriend that does know Jesus? Bring themwith you! Have a friend with nothing elsebetter to do? Bring them with you! You getthe point. Captain Amanda and I have beepraying for 200 delegates, with your helpand by prayer... (in my best Dora the Explorevoice) We can do it!

My third and final challenge is: Help pyour own way to Youth Councils. Dont relon the Corps to pay the whole bill. YouthCouncils is an awesome weekend but it cabe expensive for your Corps if you dont aleast help with some of your registration

cost.. Your Corps Officers love you andmany of them will gladly foot the bill for yoto go to Youth Councils knowing what agreat weekend it is. Help your Corps outand use some of the ideas below to raisesome money to go to Youth Councils thisyear!

1. Ask your Corps Officer for the YouthCouncils delegate sponsor sheet thatwas sent to the Corps with the Youth

alvationists are a people of the Word of

God, the Bible. It is not an accident that the

rst doctrine of The Salvation Army centers

n the Word of God: We believe that the

criptures of the Old and New Testaments

were given by inspiration of God, and that

hey only constitute the Divine rule of

hristian faith and practice.

n this affirmation, all Salvationists will

gree that one of the most critical

ministerial mandates in the field is the need

o disciple and nurture our soldiers as Bible

eading Christians. Unfortunately, in this

ay and age, we are not exempt from the

ssue of Biblical illiteracy among thealvationists in our territory and we need to

orrect this urgent problem. For this reason

we are promoting a new campaign under

he slogan, No Bible, No Breakfast! No

ible, No Bed! Lt. Colonel Lyell M. Rader

r., a legendary evangelist, used this as a

eaching slogan in his evangelistic

ampaigns. Truly, we need to encourage

nd disciple our people to be Bible reading

hristians and allow Gods Word to shape

heir lives in the way He wants us to live.

is important to acknowledge that The

alvation Army has a distinctive heritage of

ursuing the life of holiness through the

aithful reading of the Bible. Catherine

ooth, the Mother of The Salvation Army,

ead the Bible 8 times by the time she was

2. After his conversion, William Booth

committed himself to read 4 chapters of the

Bible daily. In The Soul-Winners Secret,

Samuel Logan Breng le tes t i f ies ,

Personally, for years I have given the best

hour of the day to the Bible, and now I

want it more than I want my food. This is

the Army in which God has called us to

serve.

Considering our new Bible Reading

campaign, the slogan, No Bible, No

Breakfast! No Bible, No Bed!, portrays

the idea that before starting the day (or

during any moment of the day!) we will find

the best time and place for meditating on

Gods Word, and spend time reading the

Bible with a prayerful heart. Through

exercising this spiritual discipline God will

speak to us, perhaps in a still small voice.

We are then called to pass this blessing

along to someone else as a way of

affirming our faith in the Word.

As a practical step for participating in this

new campaig n, f i rst of al l , every

Salvationist should be made aware of the

purpose of being a Bible readingChristian

through the continuous teaching andengaging about that mission on the field.

Then, while individual Salvationists are

encouraged to find the

best ways to discipline themselves to be

Bible reading Christians, the various

formats or options of The Bible Reading

Plan can be provided or

introduced as a handy, applicable, and

practical tool in every place of our front line

ministry. There is also the option to simply

introduce various types of Bible reading

plans through many online resources,

encouraging and helping our people to use

and apply themselves both individually and

corporately as a part of their spiritual

formation program. There is also the

thought that if we read three chapters

during the week (Monday to Saturday), and

five chapters on Sunday, or as W

Booth did, read four chapters of the Bi

day, we can read the entire Bible in

year.

We have good news for you! Unde

Candidates Seminar 2013 at the College For Officer Training

Northern New England was represented well this past

February as twelve delegates from across the division

attended the 2013 Candidates Seminar: Made to Be

Courageous.

On Friday night, the delegates traveled into New York

City from the newly named College For Officer Training to

attend the public welcome of our new Commissioners,

Commissioners Barry & Sue Swanson (picture top right) at

the historic Centennial Memorial Temple on 14th street.

The Delegates sat in on classes on Saturday and

toured the dorms to get a feel of what life is like at the

CFOT. Saturday night was an awesome night of worship as

the Cadet praise band led us in worship and Carol Jaudes

(picture upper right) performed: The Three Bonnets

accompanied by Karen Krinjak on the piano.

Commissioner Sue Swanson spoke to the delegation

from atop a folding chair! Urging all to let go of the things

that cripple us in fear Commissioner Barry Swanson then

preached on what it meant to be Courageous. A very full

gymnasium at the CFOT soon began to have more and

more empty chairs as many came forward to the mercy

seat as the invitation was given for those wishing to declare

Gods calling on their lives to serve in the Lord in full time

ministry as Salvation Army Officers.

The Holy Spirit moved in a powerful way! This weekend

is one I am sure the delegates will not soon forget. I know

that I wont!

If the Lord is calling you into full time ministry as a

Salvation Army Officer, the DYCSs would love to talk to

you.

The SFOT is

going swell!

Honestly, it

is a lot more

challenging

than I

thought that

it would be.

It's not necessarily the classes,

although they are stretching and

get me thinking (particularly

doctrine). It's the entirety ofbrigade, morning details

(cleaning at 7:00 a.m.), out

Sundays, Emergency Disaster

Services in the city after the

hurricane, teaching guitar class,

etc. It all keeps me very very

busy. Kettles were the bomb. I

stood at Penn Station in NYC.

It's a hub for commuters and

international folk of all kind. I

stood and danced to the "Cha Cha

Slide" and "Cupid Shuffle". But

the "Macarena" is the crowdpleaser. It's crazy what you have

to do to get peoples attention.

I danced like a beast for about 8

hours a day at the kettle. Yea,

I'm pretty much a beast on the

dance floor.

If you could keep this coming

quarter of classes in prayer for

me that would be great! I found

myself so swamped with school

work on top of everything else

that a couple of my grades ended

up taking a hit this quarter. I

need to be able to keep up on my

school work without

procrastinating. P.S. If anyone

wants to send me some Moxie I

would be more than willing to

accept it.

If someone were to pick up youriPod and listen to your music,would you be ashamed of whatthey would hear? Would people beable to tell that you are a Christianbased on the songs stored on youriPod?

If you are anything like me, musicis a huge part of your life. I alwayshave music playing. In fact, myiPhone may be my favorite earthlypossession because I can easily

carry my music collection aroundwith me wherever I go. Texting andFacebook aren't so bad either!

I have been privileged to conduct alot of Junior Soldier enrollmentslately and I am always blessedwhen the kids recite this part of theJunior Soldier pledge: I promise topray, to read my Bible, and to leada life that is clean in thought, wordand deed

I wonder if living a life that is clean

in thought, word and deed includesthings like the music we listen to?

Living a life that is clean in thought,word and deed encompasseseverything we do in life, includingthe music we listen to. This part ofthe junior Soldier pledge sounds alot like Philippians 4:8 doesnt it?

Finally, brothers and sisters,whatever is true, whatever is noble,whatever is right, whatever is pure,whatever is lovely, whatever isadmirableif anything is excellentor praiseworthythink about suchthings

I am not saying that every song youlisten to has to be a worship songor even be a Christian song butwhat I am saying is that the musicyou listen to should never be

contrary to the Word of God.Take a few moments and examinethe music on your iPod. Do thesong lyrics line up to what the Wordof God has to say?

As Christians, the Bible is our lifeguide, it is our measuring tool. Ifyour music doesnt measure up, itsprobably time to weed out yourmusic library.

My Bible doesnt say anythingabout dropping it like its hot, so

sorry Snoop but you got to go! andCee-Lo, forget you

Need some fresh tunes? Check outour NNERDY playlist for somemusic thats easy on the ears andheart.

Happy Listening!
