As Christians, we are called not just to acknowledge injustice but to stand against it, to be a voice for those who have none.

Each year, on February 20th, the world pauses to reflect on the World Day of Social Justice—a day set aside to remind us of the ongoing need for fairness, dignity, and equality for all people.

Forgiveness is often more than a single decision. It’s a journey, a daily choice, and sometimes, a struggle. And the struggle is real.

As Salvationists, we are committed to peacemaking, both globally and locally. We believe that peacemaking is not just for governments or world leaders, but for every single one of us. We are called to pray for peace, to pursue peace with everything we have, and to be equipped as peacemakers in every circumstance.

We live in a world where conflict is commonplace. Whether it’s a disagreement between friends, an issue between neighbours, or a war between nations, peace often seems elusive. Yet, in the midst of this brokenness, there is a message of hope and restoration. A message that Jesus himself spoke abou...

I’ve always been into music—listening, dancing, or playing it. From a young age, I was surrounded by music, especially at church. My mom sang, my dad played the trumpet, and my grandmother sang hymns. Naturally, I wanted to follow in their footsteps. In Grade 5, I began learning the trumpet at c...

Our Territorial Commander, Commissioner Torben Eliasen, shares his thoughts about his first love.

One of The Salvation Army's distinctives is that officers marry other officers. In my case, I met my wife to be when I was in the School for Officers Training in the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil. I was studying to become an officer, and she wasn’t yet one. When commissioned, I was appointed to the ci...
