“We are looking forward to partnering with others to meet the needs of the community,” said Major Paul Logan in a news release.
The Logans have worked for The Salvation Army across the central United States and the Caribbean, according to The Salvation Army. They have served on many mission trips and were involved in emergency disaster services that included responding to 9/11. They’ve had opportunities to administer a daycare, a 24/7 shelter, a seasonal shelter, a summer camp, a children’s home and many other programs.
Paul Logan was commissioned (ordained) in 1981 and Barbara in 1982 in Chicago, where they met and were later married in July of 1982.
