Commissioner Vic Poke spoke recently to cadets here in the Australia Southern Territory Training College, and shared how God had blessed them with an increased excitement about the number of interested people wanting to enter into training in Sweden (Europe). Then he made a passing comment about not being able to afford to train them all.
This is what drives the TACO initiative. The Salvation Army needs well equipped and passionate leaders, who are trained in environments helpful to achieve this end. When you hear stories of cadets not having money to enter training college, or hear an Indonesian cadet only recieves a small bowl of rice for dinner each night, or a cadet is unable to complete their study because they don't have computer access... it gives you a drive to do something. Well, that's what we're doing.
Please support the TACO Trivia nights, and attend with a few friends if you're close by... Don't forget to book your seat. Spread the word.
