So yesterday it happened the finale of our soldiers courses. nine soldiers where enrolled and two adherents where welcomed into the Riga one fellowship. It was a glorious day!

The service was fantastic, the worship was heavy with the spirit of God and His presence could be felt in every note of worship coming from the plattform rolling over the expectant crowd like waves of heavenly grace.

The actual enrollment ceremony carried a sacred atmosphere and I bet the angels up in heaven crept closer to get a front row seat to this holy event. Articles of war was signed on paper but covenants was sealed in heaven with the stuff that souls and hearts are made of.

After the ceremony Hanna preached an intimate and heartfelt message about changing the atmosphere. God changes the atmosphere by His very being and we need to change the atmosphere around us by bringing the presence of God to wherever we are. The truth of the words where evident in the transformed atmosphere of the meeting hall. After the service we all went to Chili piča to celebrate and it was encouraging to see that most of them opted to stay in uniform for the outing as a witness of the covenant they had made in the morning. And they all looked so good!

It was a great day all in all and one that was the culmination of many months of preparation and prayer.

Since the start of winter we have been running a soldiers class with all the leaders of the youth leaders of Riga on, taking a leaf from the Salvation Army international I decided to have a name for the soldiers course, Calebs [[cadre]]. Caleb is one of my favorite heroes. When he ventured into the promised land and saw the giants he exclaimed, They are like bread to us! When he 40 years later (being over eighty years old at the time) was allowed to cherry pick his own place to settle in the promised land he said, I am as strong today as I was 40 years ago give me this mountain (the mountain being the mountain of the giants). Displaying not only a remarkable vigour for an eighty year old man but what we in the Schola would call a strong lion!

I pray that these soldiers will advance with the same sense of pioneer spirit and courage. I pray that they will keep marching until their legs won’t cary them any more and they will be promoted to glory straight from the battle field, in the midst of an ongoing attack, to a well deserved reward in heaven.

VIVAT!
