Short-term missions have a unique way of putting a place and people in one’s heart and mind forever. That is exactly what the twelve team members who took the trip to Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, now believe. The team from the Prairie Division, led by Captain Justin Bradbury, corps officer at Southlands Community Church in Winnipeg, was poised to use their gifts and talents in practical ways. We … [Read more...]

Separated by just nine verses, Luke recounts Jesus’ encounter with two “rich” men (see Luke 18:18-19:1-10). The first was a successful, God-fearing man who kept the Ten Commandments, someone of whom everyone would surely speak well. The second man, a tax collector, was considered a traitor for working with the government that oppressed his people, even making a good profit from his … [Read more...]

When the Gifts of Hope campaign launched in October 2007, it carried the tagline “Gifts guaranteed to bring hope”—a bold promise that has born fruit. Last June, in the remote Liberian village of Arthington, a young mother went into labour. She had no access to public transport and was unable to make the two-hour walk to a medical clinic.

At The Salvation Army’s compound in Tanzania, children with physical disabilities are given new hope, one shoe at a time

I’ve always wanted to tend a flock of sheep. It’s odd, I know. I couldn’t exactly tell you why. The idea of being a shepherd, perhaps in South America, popped into my head one day and never left. Maybe it was the idea of the solitude and the time to think and pray. Maybe it was to take on a role that Jesus had likened to Himself, that of the Good Shepherd. In planning my journey, I found … [Read more...]

Look, God is greater than we can understand … By these mighty acts he nourishes the people, giving them food in abundance”(Job 36:26, 31 NLT). These are amazing words, not only because they remind us of the generosity of God, but also because they were said by a man in the midst of personal sorrow and suffering. Job was acutely aware that he was not alone in experiencing troubles in life. He … [Read more...]
