A new mural flanking the doors to the chapel at The Salvation Army’s Weetamah church in Winnipeg welcome visitors and make the entrance more welcoming. It acknowledge the land on which the building sits, honours the people who visit the building and shares the teachings with everyone who enters.

“We felt it was a great opportunity to visually acknowledge the place in which we worship and create community and the connection to all people who come through the building," says Captain Ian Scott, the Salvation Army pastor at Weetamah when the mural was commissioned.

Recently, The Salvation Army in Corner Brook, N.L., received a large donation of moose meat, allowing them to serve more than 1,000 meals to clients at their soup kitchen. The donation was made possible by local hunters who have brought moose meat to The Salvation Army for the past 17 years. “They like what The Salvation Army does in the community,” says Major Brian Wheeler, pastor at the Army’s Corner Brook Community Church. 

Ignite the Fire

We need to take evangelism seriously.

The Salvation Army's work has always been about both discipleship and evangelism—serving people in need while proclaiming the hope of Christ. But we must ask ourselves: are we still effectively sharing the good news in a way that engages the world around us? Are we innovating in our outreach methods to meet the needs of a rapidly changing society?
