When the pandemic hit, classes and Spiritual Days, worship and fellowship, all took place online. This of course was not what was planned and not what we had dreamed would be your experience but we would thank you for your patience and endurance as the IFOT staff found new ways to continue the training process in extremely challenging circumstances and prepare you for a life of service.<\/p><p>We would also thank the Training Principal, the IFOT staff and guest lecturers for the way in which the training program has been flexible and adapted to changing circumstances outside their control.<\/p><p>Finally, we would remind you that you are a Called People. God has placed His call in your heart and you have been obedient in answering His call. As He has called you, we are sure He will be with you. Stay close to Him and allow Him to direct your future.<\/p><p>As it states in 1Thess 5:2 \u201cThe one who calls you is faithful\u201d<\/p><p>May you find challenges, opportunities and fulfilment beyond your dreams as you commence a lifetime of service, leadership and fellowship with God within the Salvation Army.<\/p><p>Colonels Kelvin &amp; Cheralynne Pethybridge<\/p><p>Territorial Leaders<\/p><p>Eastern Europe Territory \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a wonderful Sessional Name \u2013 Messengers of Grace!
