Caldwells overseas

Anita's feet continue to improve following her dual surgeries. Jason and Jaron should be back in classes at their respective colleges any day now. Brad is preparing his curriculum for continuing education and local officers' training (for lay leaders in our churches).

Also, we had a nice bit of cheesecake today, which presented us a fresh opportunity to chat about matters not tied to work. Nice to be in love...

Caldwells overseas

Cadets arrive!

The first half of the Heralds of the Good News have spent the month of August attending classes in Moscow and preparing for their upcoming Spring Campaign in St. Petersburg. Cadets from Ukraine, Moldova, and Russia have studied Salvation Army doctrines, competencies for officership, public ministry skills, creative prayer seminar, the Salvation Army Minute Book, and foundational skills. They depart tomorrow for St. Pete and then return home for two months of work in their various appointments. In November they will be back in class.

The second half of the Heralds arrives in Moscow in September to take the same classes just taught to their sessionmates. The two halves will not meet officially until the Eastern Europe Territory's Fifteenth Anniversary Congress with the new Salvation Army General in September, 2006!
