GREETINGS TO THE AFA NATIONAL CONFERENCE

Salvation Army Territorial Commander (AET), Commissioner Les Strong

" Firstly I want to express to you a warm welcome to the Salvation Army Collaroy Centre, a facility established for the purposes of nurturing and encouraging children and youth in their Christian Journey.

The agenda for your conference and the high caliber of presenters for each of these significant and important subjects suggest to me that this will be a meaningful, encouraging and perhaps even life changing experience. The issues outlined here are significant and important to us and I am pleased that a conference of this nature has been convened,

My prayer is that the practical outworking of your deliberations will result in greater care, protection and nurture of our young people.

May God bless you."
