General Shaw



We need to pray for Shaw Clifton, General of The Salvation Army.

As a result of recent medical tests a cancer has been diagnosed. The doctors believe that it has been found early and is operable. They therefore wish the General to undergo further tests, then some courses of chemotherapy, and eventual surgery.All of this will take several months. The doctors have advised the General to remain within the United Kingdom between now and the middle of next year in order to complete all aspects of testing and treatment, including the surgery and recovery period.It follows that all overseas travel commitments made by the General and Commissioner Clifton between now and the end of June 2008 are cancelled. Apart from international travel, the General will continue to carry out all the normal functions of his office.

He's in the master's hands. Let's keep him there by our prayers.
