Emiko Matsuo is the latest student to join us at Marion Salvos. We have social work and community services students with us most of the time, doing their practical placements. Emiko is a third year social work student from Flinders University and will be with us until late November. Welcome Emiko!
As I helped with her induction yesterday, two things occured to me. Firstly I was reminded about how everyone connected with our church needs to be conscious of our mission at all times. Where are we headed? Why do we do what we do? What are the dreams and visions for our Corps?
Secondly, I was reminded that we are all students, and need to be learning throughout our life. One example of how important this can be is in Scripture, when Jesus is tempted by Satan in the wilderness. He responds to each temptation through the use of Scripture. If we are to stand as people of integrity and withstand temptations in our own lives we need the background of Scriptures we have learned to aid us. Keep reading and keep learning.
