This Is Our Story: Edgar and Katie King : A Life of Hard Work, Love and Salvation

This is the story of two lives, of Edgar and Katie Kin, who devoted themselves to service through the Salvation Army. It covers thelr journey on service through Canada. It is an inspirational work that will suit readers of any age A SOLDIER IN TWO ARMIES. I served in the Canadian Military with the Royal Canadian Engineers in the sixties. I trained with the Queens Own Rifles in Calgary, Alberta. After I got married to my wife, Katie Harris I received an Honourable release from the military, and moved back to Newfoundland. A year later my wife Katie and I started a spiritual journey together. We made a commitment to ministry in The Salvation Army. Katie and I were ordained/commissioned as Salvation Army officers, with the rank of lieutenants. We served in Newfoundland for five years, in two corps appointments. Two years in Mings' Bight and Three years in Green's Harbour, serving as corps officers/pastors. We were transferred to The Salvation Army Correctional Services in Edmonton, Alberta, in 1981. Afterward, we served in other provinces across Canada with the Salvation Army Correctional service department. Katie passed away in Pentiction, British Columbia, in 1999 while we were the pastors at the corps. After twenty-seven years of active service, I retired in 2003, with the rank of major. After retirement I worked for the Salvation Army as a chaplain in the super jail in Lindsay, Ontario. Later, I went to work at the super jail in Penetanguishene, Ontario, also as a chaplain. I also worked as an electronic specialist for The Salvation Army, installing ankle bracelets on clients for the home arrest program. Clients were monitored at home instead of being incarcerated in an institution. My journey has been interesting to say the least.
