Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!
This issue of JAC may look and read a little differently to
you than past issues. Why? In a JAC first, Issue 61 features
writers from the USA Southern Territory.
As you will notice, the topics covered span a wide range of
current discussions across the Salvosphere. And as you look
over the names of the various authors, we think you will enjoy
the blend of several familiar names mixed in with some
exciting new contributors who add their thoughts and voices to
the ongoing Army dialogue.
Regular readers of the JAC will know that current thoughts on
Salvationism are frequently presented in the Journal. Various
aspects of this topic put forward in this issue by Major
Willis Howell, Captain Kelly Goldfarb, Captain Marion Platt
and Kelly Pope. Lieutenant Jimmy Taylor wonders about the
balance between “Blood,” and “Fire.”
Do your interests include expressions of incarnational
ministry, or the prophetic role of the Army? Captain Sandra
Pobjie-Pawar gives us an unvarnished view of ministry from her
inner-city, frontline vantage point, while Captain Anthony
Juliana speaks to the importance of the Army’s prophetic voice
in today’s world. Cadet Andrea Hoover shares her thoughts on
Women in Leadership, and Cadet Michal Chapman offers an
interesting perspective on dependence.
Captain Jonathan Gainey, Captain Melanie Falin, and Jason Pope
put missions and evangelism in the spotlight, Cadet Aaron
Abram debates status-quo vs. adaptation in Salvation Army
programs, Gabriella Broome gives a timely reminder of our
responsibility to pass on a deep faith to the next generation
and Sergeant Cory Harrison shines an interestingly different
light on tithing.
Let me offer my thanks to Captain Stephen Court for taking us
up on our idea of an entire issue of the JAC coming from one
territory. Wouldn’t it be something if the idea caught on?!
And an extra special word of appreciation also goes to Cadet
Aaron Abram for his excellent work in tending to the details
and layout that have brought this project through to
completion. You have a fine mind and a passionate heart,
Aaron. Continue to use them both in service to God to
communicate life-changing truth in a compelling way.
Read, enjoy, and be encouraged. And may God fan the flame of
Salvationist mission as you continue to fight on your front!
Hallelujah!
Willis
