• Global prayer – Eastern Europe Territory
Each week throughout this year, Salvationists around the world are uniting in prayer for a particular territory or region of The Salvation Army.
Prayer requests are shared by the focus territory/region to help us pray with precision and power for one another.
This week (12-18 August) we are praying for the Eastern Europe Territory. Five nations make up this diverse territory – Bulgaria, Georgia, Moldova, Romania and Ukraine.
Australian officer Major Elizabeth Garland serves in the Eastern Europe Territory as the Development Officer and is based at Territorial Headquarters in Chisinau, Moldova. Elizabeth, who has a Bachelor of Nursing degree, post-graduate qualifications in primary healthcare, health and international development, and a doctorate in Public Health, also has social program experience with The Salvation Army in Africa and Australia.
She has experience in clinical and public health administration, community development and engagement, social policy, homelessness, alcohol and other drugs, and impact measurement.
Elizabeth has also spent three years at International Headquarters in London as Impact Measurement Coordinator and international statistician.
