In twenty-one years of being married to a soldier, I have been blessed with many great experiences on military bases in the U.S., in Europe and in Asia. One of those great experiences is that I have known some of the best people in the world and have called them friends. Another blessing, which is connected to the first, is the chapel ministry that we know and love, PWOC. When the call comes to move to another installation, we often feel that a division has taken place. There are emotions that occur, and they are normal. They are! They happen! I’d like to propose that changes like moving or expanding or any change in direction is not a division, but instead, a multiplication of sorts. This means that while a new board is selected for the Pacific Region during the conference, a new regional board will be selected for Asia Region simultaneously. Please be in prayer for these ladies who will hear the call of God on their lives and step forward to lead two strategic regions in God’s greater work for His Kingdom. Think about how twice the number of regional leaders, chaplains and funds can be used in the fulfillment of PWOC’s Aims! Multiplication for Jesus, not division!
In the fall of 2009, the Pacific Region (Hawaii, Guam, Japan, Korea) will “multiply,” and a new region will be birthed at the regional conference in Hawaii. The new Asia Region will consist of Japan and Korea, while Guam and Hawaii will remain in the Pacific Region.
