Salvation Army Officer’s recognized with the Divine Servant Award
Sunday morning, June 11th, Salvation Army Officers Captains Edith and Richard Mabie were recognized along with five others for the significant impact they have made in their communities.
“Each year the USA Western Territory presents the Divine Servant Award to an officer or soldier whose conduct and ministry best exemplifies the selfless service of Christ at the front line of Salvation Army ministry. The award that reminds us to “wash the feet” of others.
Our second officer couple receiving this award today serve with distinction in their community. They have worked tirelessly and selflessly to bring Christ to the forefront in their ministry. During the COVID pandemic, like many places, they saw a 100% increase in the needs for assistance from the Army.
This officer couple, shared from their hearts “We have approached each opportunity with the intention that this may be a divine appointment with higher purposes than a box of food, COVID support, or a thrift store purchase. It has brought new faces into our Worship spaces and Bible Studies, and offered purpose and place to some who are rebuilding their lives."
Today we honor with the Divine Servant Award, Captains Edith and Richard Mabie from the Roseburg (Oregon) Corps.”
