Welcome to our new officers, Captain Joey and Pamela Gates
A word from our new corps officer:
We are moving from Kokomo, IN, where we have been the corps officers (pastors) for 4 years. Capt. Joey attended The Salvation Army through most of his life and his family looked to The Salvation Army for assistance at times when he was growing up. Capt. Pamela began attending The Salvation Army when she was invited by one of her mom’s friends as a teen. She has been part of The Salvation Army ever since.
Some strengths we are bringing with us to Vincennes are our musical abilities, administrative gifts, and a passion for planning programs that will best care for the Vincennes community.
Not only are we excited to develop programs and serve this area, but we are excited to get to know new people and a new area of Indiana.
As a family, we value Proverbs 16:9, “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the LORD establishes their steps.” When we were first called to officership we resisted because we wanted to stay where we were and minister as local leadership. We finally heard clearly that God was calling us to be officers and have been serving Him in this way ever since. Vincennes is another way for us to fulfill the calling God placed on our lives.
