The Salvation Army 1978 Intenational Congress

Occasionally, members of The Salvation Army from all over the world will gather as a community for worship, fellowship and training. These gatherings celebrate the diversity and faith of this international movement.

This really takes me back. Grew up in St Albans Corps, married in Preston Corps and in 1978 we were awaitinb our first child. She was a foster child that we adopted and now I am back in the Army after 30 years away. It was the music of John Laarson and the lyrics of John Gowans that brought me back. Hallelujah!!

I am very proud to have returned to the Salvation Army, as a youngster myself and my siblings were encouraged to go to sunday school and get involved with everything else going on, including the Goodwill demonstrations in London with Captain Joy Webb...wonderful days, and I have never forgotten how to play my timbrel

Great memories. God bless the Salvation Army.

I was there and was a superb evening but, how come no mention of Enfield's excellent rendition of Bearcroft's Just Like John? Including BM James Williams playing a stand up testimony ?

Isaia 52 verso 8 , una voce le tue sentinelle alzano la voce , insieme esultano , poiché vedono con gli occhi il ritorno del signore a sion

[@jamesfraser4173]

I could very well be wrong(big surprise!), but the speaker looks and sounds like General Arnold Brown, who I had the greatpleasure of meeting and phptographing during his visit to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Sadly, I dont remember the year, but, it was the 100th anniversary of George Scott Railton to start the work of the Army in that city.

[@kjvb]

You would be correct, that is General Arnold Brown. March 24, 1881 would have been the date Railton started the work in Halifax.

Salmo 131 verso 13 e 14. Si il signore ha scelto sion , l ha voluta per sua residenza , 14 questo sarà il luogo del mio riposo per sempre , qui risiedero perché l ho voluto

[@antonellabaluganti8109]

Isaia 62 verso 11. Ecco ciò che il signore fa sentire all estremità della terra, dite alla figlia di sion, ecco, arriva il tuo salvatore, ecco egli ha con sé il premio e la sua ricompensa lo precede
