It’s Tonga Next

At the end of this month I have the opportunity to visit the Pacific Island Kingdom of Tonga. It’s only a three day visit, but an opportunity for me to see the work of The Salvation Army first hand.

The Salvation Army in Tonga, administered by New Zealand, currently has five worship centres, Court and Prison work, an Addiction Program, two Kindergartens and a mobile health clinic.

Among other work that The Army has done in the Kingdom, we have assisted in the provision of clean water for a local community. The projects that are currently on the books include building a worship complex and officer’s residence, kindergarten redevelopment and equipment purchases to aid in the delivery of ministry to the community.

So, when I get back I’ll put up a bit of a show and tell for any that are interested.
