Here
in Sweden there is the FDFO (FSAOF) but our fellowship differs in that it is
open to all interested parties. The quarterly FSAOF (Sweden) Journal, in
contrast to The War Cry, includes some insider info and I became a member last
fall.
I
understand that there are 300 paying members in Sweden, many are older but
still... We meet a few times a year (district meetings) and a summer
meeting-congress is held for the entire country. Have not yet had the
opportunity to be part of something on a large scale but have already been in
telephone contact with someone on the board. Maybe I’ll go to the one in the northern
circuit scheduled in March. Many of the members are very active in their corps;
some corps are under the command (of former officers).
The
goal of FDFO (Swedish FSAOF) was from the beginning that it would serve as a ‘retreat
for the battle wounded and injured’; we would support, help and make them
battle-ready again. How one manages that I do not know, but I know that the ‘fellowship’
has the blessing of leadership and that, for example, Commissioner Rolf Roos,
when he was in active service, was the keynote speaker at the summer meeting of
the Sollefteå FSAOF Congress.
"Keep
the fire burning" is their motto, but in the situation I find myself, I
appreciate any contact with TSA.
______________________________________
The
FSAOF (international) attempted to bring our fellowship together in a “FSAOF’S
GET TOGETHER AT THE BRITISH CONGRESS, BRISTOL 2009” In preparation
announcements were made, a THQ representative invited to share with us, and an
advert was sent to The Salvationist. The ad was pulled without our knowledge by
the CS and the attendance was minimal.
“It
seems so incredibly short-sighted not to accept and publish your advert in The
Salvationist announcing the fellowship's existence and get-to-gether ! Have
"they" in the UK not yet adopted and understood the enormous resource
former officers represent ?! Even if they worship and lead other denominations
or belong to no community at all, they can have lots of positive influence and
impact. (and some may even return to the army !)”
“Good luck, but ... While it
is important to talk among yourselves/themselves and vent, you may be better
off allowing a ground swell of good coming HQ’s way… (to circumvent their
negativity or dismissal of the fellowship’s strength and intent) “

Sven,
I believe that some of the
interaction and challenge on this site and support has helped me have the
desire to return to officership.
My wife Sandy and I will be
returning to officership after a leave of three years and prior service of 25
years. Also the Divisional Commander of the Southwest Division (USA Western
Territory) was very supportive and understanding.
Blessings in Christ,
Robert Deidrick USA Western
Territory
Returning to active service in
June

Sven, I think TSA across the
world should be indebted to your ministry of support and encouragement. You
have wept with us, prayed with us, listened to us when no-one else wanted to
know us. You have brushed us down and put us back on our feet. I returned to
officership nearly a year ago now because of the power of God's Holy Spirit in
my life and your healing ministry.

I remain an Officer today
because of your ministry, encouragement and support to carry on. Where others
have failed you have helped me bear the pain, carry the cross and carry on. It
seems strange to me, although knowing you both, not so strange, that my
inspiration and encouragement to remain an officer has come from you and Glad
and not the official channels that we would expect. As Glad would say, GBY real
good!
