To heal the earth and do God’s ministry

On Friday 4 May, active and retired officers looked back on the past five years of the territory’s ministry at officers’ councils at the Korea Baptist Theological University and Seminary. General Peddle emphasised the importance of Salvationists serving God with all their hearts, minds and strengths.
