Salvation Army Leaders Oversee Historical Commissioning Meetings

The Salvation Army’s Chief of the Staff Commissioner Israel L. Gaither, and Commissioner Eva D. Gaither have been given a rousing welcome as they arrived in Tanzania to lead a series of Commissioning meetings.

A short act of worship was led by the Chief along with an enthusiastic crowd of Salvationists and friends. The international leaders are reported to have given encouragement to all those gathered to witness the promotion of four Tanzania officers to the rank of majors. In his Bible message the Chief reminded the newly-commissioned captains that true visionaries are bold, creative and have an unusual faith which is demonstrated in action. 'Do not think small,' he challenged them. 'Keep on believing!'
