Global Day of Prayer

Accts MMI Associate and former staff member Valvakan (Val) Rajah entered heaven on April 25th after a long battle with cancer. In 1972 Val, who was of Indian descent, joined the Rhodesian Armed Forces chaplaincy and rose to the rank of chaplain general of Zimbabwe (1981-1985). He was one of the first three non-whites to become an officer in Zimbabwe’s armed forces. In a 1985 Mail Reporter (Zimbabwe) article, he stated, “It was only the Prime Minister’s initial policy of reconciliation that enabled someone like me to be appointed Chaplain General of the defense forces.” In 1985 he was forced to resign due to his stance on human rights issues concerning military personnel imprisoned by the ruling government. In 1986 Val and his first wife Valerie began to work with Accts MMI.

A printer by trade, Val began his military ministry shortly after converting from Hinduism to Christianity. Throughout his career and ministry, Val acted as a human rights advocate by speaking out against injustices and championed many issues, from prisoner care to homelessness.

Please be in prayer for Gina and the entire family at this time.

 Our 2009 Training Weekend enjoyed record attendance with a capacity 70 people booking in to join us at Sarum College in the shadow of Salisbury Cathedral.  Our focus was on Military Christian Fellowships in Europe and we had a wealth of experience, current and past to show us what that meant.  

The two AMCF Regional Vice Presidents, Brian Parker and Torbjorn Bostrom, and our Regional Team Leader, Rainer Thorun set the scene with an excellent overview and then this was fleshed out by presentation from Polish MCF President, Igor Sawicki, Ukraine MCF President Vasily Khimich and finally a more strategic perspective from Norwegian MCF President General Arnvid Løvebukten. In the evening we were treated to an introduction to the Centurions, the MCF of Mongolia by one of the founders Tugsuu Demberel, currently studying in UK.  The whole picture was wrapped up by ACCTS USA staff member for Europe, Dick Barnes, updating us on his work. 

Our guests included Accts MMI Associate, Colonel Henry Ladele, who preached with characteristic passion and skill on Luke 18:8 “However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
