OUR Candidates

As mentioned in yesterday's post, I'd like to fill you all in on the accepted candidates the Bangor Corps is sending to the SFOT this year- Jeff & Becki Kirk.

Jeff and Becki have been living and working in the Central Territory for the last few years, but upon accepting God's call on their lives to become officers in TSA, they wanted to fulfill that calling in their home territory- USA East. Therefore they had to seek out a "home" corps to associate with. So how did they end up in Bangor? I'll tell you (what I know of it all):

Jeff spent 7 years of his life stationed with his parents in Bangor, Maine. From what I hear, he went through some rough times back then. But always supporting him and his parents through those times, were the faithful soldiers of the Bangor corps. So what better place to re-connect with his home territory than through his home corps, where the people still care about him and support him in prayer?

And, low and behold, after welcoming them back to the Bangor corps, we discover that Becki grew up in Winsted Connecticut- the very same small town where Debbie grew up! You should have seen them chatting on about the high school and the traffic light (yep- "the")!

Well, there's a whole lot more you could learn about Jeff and Becki, but the most important thing is that they have been called by God, responded to that call and are heading into the unknown, just because that's what God wants them to do.

It's because of these things, the Bangor Corps is proud to sponsor, support and send them off into the "wild 'red' yonder" of officership. They're OUR candidates!
