‘Bridging the Gap’ in Boston >>

W

ith an Olympic–sized pool, a multilevel fitness area, a gym, and even a rock wall, Boston’s Ray & Joan Kroc Corps Community Center is truly an amazing place.

The Salvation Army’s Bridging the Gap (BTG) youth diversion program that meets at the center each week is blessed to have access to these resources.

Jovan Zuniga, program director for the Boston BTG, says the center is helping

to realize Joan Kroc’s vision of “a safe gathering place, a place with facilities and trained professionals to nurture children’s social skills, arts appreciation, and athletic potential.”

“Through BTG’s extensive use of the Kroc Center facilities, we have provided hundreds of court–involved youth a safe haven in which they can learn necessary life skills, have a place to exert energy, and cultivate their talents,” Zuniga says. continued on page

The woman, the lion, and the Word

The men’s rage suddenly turned to fear. They stepped away from her, at first slowly, and then faster. Now in full stride, they ran into the forest, screaming in terror.

Stuart Williams, a wildlife expert with the rural development ministry, said the girl may have survived because she was crying. “A young girl whimpering could be mistaken for the mewing sound from a lion cub, which in turn could explain why they didn’t eat her,” Williams said.

That explanation notwithstanding, could her survival have been an act of God? Could He have used this incident to send a powerful message to the world, as He did when He saved

Such abuses as this young girl suffered also happen in America. As I write this piece, the world’s eyes are on Cleveland, Ohio, my hometown (NEOSA), where a man is in custody for abducting and holding three young women in captivity for a decade. This story is as bewildering as it is horrifying.

In this Good News! “Transitions” column, you’ll read Trish Smouse’s compelling story and how The Salvation Army addressed her need through its Central Ohio Rescue and Restore Coalition in SWONEKY. It’s time for the Lord to send more angels like Smouse, who is now dedicated to helping women who have survived such atrocities.

University College* in Winnipeg, Canada, was the teacher for the symposium. He began by looking at the holiness of God, reminding us that holy means “to be set apart from the everyday and the ordinary.” God is different from everything else in life. Before we can be holy, he said, we must understand what it means to be holy from a biblical perspective as we relate to a holy God.

We live in a culture that tries to diminish the holiness of God, that attempts to draw God closer by shaping Him into its image. But, we learned, it is necessary for us to be set apart and to allow Him to mold us into His image.

We also explored the life of holiness >ÃÊÃii Ê Ê*>Õ ½ÃÊÜÀ Ì }Ã°Ê Ê* «« > Ã]Ê *>Õ ÊÜÀ ÌiÃÊ>L ÕÌÊÌ iÊ } }ÊÜ À Ê vÊ God. Burke said that holiness is both a crisis and a process that unfolds over time and that holiness is a life characterized by abounding love.

We then gathered in small groups, sharing with one another specific insights into the life of holiness that God had revealed to us.

Trish later moved in with her youth pastor’s family and accepted Jesus on a bench outside their apartment. “Before finding Christ, I felt like my life Ăœ>ĂƒĂŠv>Â?Â?ˆ˜}ĂŠ>ÂŤ>Ă€ĂŒ]ÂťĂŠĂƒÂ…iĂŠĂƒ>ĂžĂƒÂ°ĂŠÂş ĂŒĂŠĂœ>ĂƒĂŠÂ?Ă•ĂƒĂŒĂŠ this whole notion of being devalued and dehumanized.â€?

Trish also calls them by their first name and tries to build their self–esteem by telling them how valued and worthy they are. “They have no desire to get housing and a lot of other things if they don’t think they’re worth it,â€? she says. “We make a point of showing them self– worth.

A Hero’s journey

Commissioner Lawrence R. Moretz, promoted to Glory “Trust Him for whatever He wants from you or for you. He plans the way. He guides the way. Don’t put it in your own hands. It doesn’t work that way.”

—Commissioner Lawrence R. Moretz

West Nyack, NY—“Larry was an extraordinary gift to The Salvation Army, to his family, to his friends, and to people around the world,” said Commissioner Ronald G. Irwin during his heartfelt tribute to Commissioner Lawrence R. Moretz, promoted to Glory on May 16 after a prolonged illness. Irwin spoke on May 19 to approximately 300 people in an expanded Railton Hall at Territorial Headquarters. They included Moretz’s closest family members, his “Heroes of the Faith” sessionmates, and many who were profoundly influenced by his 49 years of ministry.

Irwin, who met Moretz in 1962 at the

School for Officer Training, described him as a “creative and imaginative leader” and one of the youngest officers to be appointed territorial commander. “Larry was 54 years old when he commanded the first of three territories during his 13 years of territorial leadership,” Irwin said. He also said that Moretz had served on three High Councils (an international committee that elects the General), had spent 10 years on the Commissioners Conference, and was an organizer of the International Conference of Leaders.

Interspersed between the congregation’s singing of “Praise to the Lord,” family members offered insightful reflections. Brenda Kissinger, Moretz’s sister, said, “He was a friend and a protector; my voice of reason…. He was always doing the most he could.” With tears streaming, she concluded, “I stand in

WARREN L. MAYE

awe of his accomplishments. I’m proud to call him my brother.”

Moretz’s adult children and grandchildren offered anecdotes that vividly and at times humorously illustrated his love of family, his commitment to the Army, and his mission for Christ. Esteban, a grandson, who in 2010 prayed eloquently in both English and in Spanish during the territorial leaders’ retirement celebration, tearfully expressed his love as if he were reading a letter to his grandfather.

Christine Moretz Baker, Moretz’s daughter and a cadet at the College for Officer Training (CFOT), said, “You are my ‘Hero of the Faith,’ and I will forever be your ‘Proclaimer of the Resurrection!’ ” Larry Jr. described how in retirement, his dad had given himself wholeheartedly to the Ray & Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in Philadelphia. “He loved the people,” Larry said. He also thanked everyone who sent messages and cards. “They were a joy and a strength.

[Retrieving them from the mailbox] became a daily focus. That’s what held [Dad] up and carried him through—’til the last day.” Larry said those final days had brought his family together. “We reunited and had moments we never would have had.”

COMMISSIONER LAWRENCE R. MORETZ July 22, 1943–May 16, 2013

Larry Moretz was one of two children born into the officer family of Lawrence and Evelyn Moretz on July 22, 1943, in Lewistown, Pa. The family attended the Lewistown Corps, where Larry became a junior soldier in 1949. His parents became officers and were transferred to Plymouth, Pa., where in 1961, he became a senior soldier and a graduate of Plymouth Senior High School. At the Plymouth Corps, Larry was involved with Boy Scouts and youth work. He attained the rank of Eagle Scout and became the first General’s Scout in the United States.

“As a young boy, I was taught the need of a Savior in my life and so, at the age of 9, I gave my heart to Jesus,” Moretz once said. “It was not until I became a senior soldier that I realized the need for not just giving my heart the Lord—but my whole being. It was while attending Youth Councils in 1958 that I surrendered my all to the Master.” from the book of Ephesians, delivered by Commissioner Sue Swanson, territorial president of women’s ministries; Commissioner Eva D. Gaither; and Colonel William Carlson, chief secretary, punctuated the program. A vocal ensemble from Territorial Headquarters and CFOT set the tone for worship.

Commissioner Israel L. Gaither, a sessionmate of Commissioner Moretz, brought a message entitled, “Another Hero in Heaven!” Gaither, 68, said,

“Fifty–one years ago, Larry became the brother I never had.” In 1967, in the midst of the civil rights struggle, Moretz served as a groomsman in the Gaithers’ wedding—the first interracial marriage in The Salvation Army.

“He lived daringly,” said Gaither. “And although he possessed an amazing ability of recall, he was always looking forward; focused on the future.” Gaither, with tears, described his brother as a hero of the faith who was undaunted, courageous,

Rather than experience the call to officership in some dramatic way, Moretz said, “My call came as an increased obligation to do more than just corps participation.” His calling came in the words of the Lord, “Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature.”

Moretz is survived by his loving wife, Commissioner Nancy Moretz of Lancaster, Pa.; son and daughter–in–law, Larry and Joanne Moretz; grandson and wife, Elisha and Megan Moretz; granddaughter, Jennifer Moretz (101 Pedersen Ridge Road, Milford, PA. 18337); son and daughter– in–law, Tom and Ximena Moretz and grandchildren Esteban, Nathan, and Zachary (Star Lake Conference Center, Box 132, Bloomingdale, NJ 07403); daughter, Cadet Christine Moretz Baker and grandchildren Michael and Victoria (201 Lafayette Ave., Suffern, NY 10901); and sister, Brenda Kissinger (1265 Coronado Terrace, Deltona, Fl. 32725). and meticulously organized. “The Army is desperate for heroes,” Gaither said.

The service ended with the congregation reading aloud and in unison the doctrines of The Salvation Army. The interment took place the following morning at Kensico Cemetery in Valhalla, N.Y. Standing on that familiar green hill was an Army in blue offering their final goodbye.

‘Bridging the Gap’

“BTG Boston takes a holistic approach to our mission and the Kroc Center has made this concept a reality.

“It gives us a world of options as far as creating a mini–world for our students, who, a lot of times, are limited in their ability to choose what they’d like to do in life.”

Zuniga says a new program started in January called “BTG: Liberating Creativity” (BTG: LC).

“The purpose, as the title suggests, is to allow BTG youth to recognize their talent and to give it a platform to be seen and cultivated,” he says.

Once enrolled, students are given a choice between three BTG: LC breakout sessions, which meet every Thursday evening within BTG program hours.

“Once they choose, they are put through an eight–week course in the discipline being offered,” he says.

The three courses currently being offered are: UÊ >ÃÃÀ Ê£Ç]Ê i`ÊLÞÊ À>« VÊ ÀÌ ÃÌÊ V >i Ê Õ>`>ÀÀ> >]Ê focuses on branding and identity design. Guadarrama uses the teen room to “create a relaxed yet focused atmosphere,” Zuniga says.

Zuniga also credited outreach coordinator Nicole Bazile with helping to make the program a success.

Zuniga said the Kroc Center’s cost–free quality meals prepare the kids for learning.
