Dear Friends,
We bring our greetings to all our salvationists, officers, and friends.
With rededication of our Officer Covenant, in obedience to God, and to our General, we have accepted the new responsibility of Zonal Leadership. We are humbled by the trust our leaders have shown in us, and the encouragement received through social media from officers, soldiers, and friends across the South Asia Zone.
It is an opportunity with responsibility and accountability to journey with you in fulfilling the mission of The Salvation Army that God has given to us. Only by the grace of God and divine power of the Holy Spirit, together we will journey and march as the Army of God in rescuing the perishing as our duty demands.
God has been faithful to us. We both have our individual calling with our commitment. Martha's vision is to live a fruitful life for God, as mentioned in Jeremiah 17: 7 & 8. I always keep God's word before me, by which He called me into the officership; commanding me to be the light of the world (Matthew 5:14).
We both have submitted ourselves for the leading of the Holy Spirit. We pray that we will be accepted and allowed to be what God has planned for us as well as for the mission of the Salvation Army in the South Asia Zone. We need your support and prayers to walk together with you for the purpose God has brought us together in this way to serve Him.
Let me share our covenant song as we render our lives for the benefit of the millions of souls in the countries of the South Asian Zone:
This is my covenant O Lord!
Love and serve you all my days,
Sinners to meet the Savior Lord,
Redeemed to live for thee.
Commissioners Suresh Pawar & Martha Pawar
International Secretary and ZSWM, South Asia, IHQ
