The Salvation Army Family

This is what I really love about my Army...

A young man has recently passed away, leaving his wife, and two twin girls.  He was not close to the Army in his last years.  But at his funeral, TSA family showed up to show their support at his funeral, many officers traveling great distances. His parents were touched and reminded of the love found within the Army family.

Two months before, this mother prays for a church family, they had been looking for two years.  About a month after their son passes away, they run into their former DC at a doctors appointment, he gives them the address of the closest Army Corps. This past Sunday this couple comes into our Corps and the first person they run into is their other DC. They served for over ten years as officers, and had two DC's, they run into both of them in a matter of ten days.  She was in Home League yesterday, and they both came for family night tonight, we are really blessed with pretty intense women's and men's fellowship groups, really digging into the Word.  She shared tonight how grateful she was that God has brought her back home.  They could not wait to come to Family night tonight.  She says God has answered her prayer.  Even with the tragedy of her son, God has used this situation for good for her, bringing her back to her Army.  Made me cry.  We are a family in the Army, and inspite of all our shortcomings, we can really be good to each other, and we can take very good care of each other.  I am glad that God has sent this couple our way.  I pray that we  at AMPHI will be good to them.
