NEW OFFICERS TAKE COMMAND

JUNE 23, 2008.  FAYETTEVILLE, NC Majors Jerry and Betty Lyles have taken command effective June 22, 2008 at the Fayetteville area Salvation Army. The Majors come to Fayetteville after a five year command in Florence, S.C. Majors Lyles are veteran commanding officers, with 30 years of service to The Salvation Army. They have had commands in North and South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi.

Lyles has been a commissioned officer with The Salvation Army since 1978. He joined The Salvation Army through the youth basketball league as a high school student. In order to participate on the Salvation Army basketball team, he had to attend church on Sundays. When a revival came through town, he repented and was saved. Soon after, he realized the Army was his life’s calling.

After high school, Lyles attended The Salvation Army’s officer training college in Atlanta for two years before being commissioned.

Major and Mrs. Lyles are very excited about the many opportunities to serve our community. They look forward to continuing to Do the Most Good right here in our area.
