This photo was taken after their safe return from the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia). The founder and pastor of Immanuel Temple, Rev. William E. Booth-Clibborn, is seated with Dorothy and Randall in the photo above.
The Congregation of Immanuel Temple was truly favored by God to have Rev. Booth-Clibborn as its pastor. He was a grandson of General Booth, founder of the Salvation Army. He was Randall and Dorothy’s spiritual mentor for many years. His enthusiastic and unwavering support never flagged.
Randall and Dorothy set sail for the Dutch East Indies in 1940, with no inkling of course of what lay ahead of them.
