As always the Salvation Army is there........in His name, no discrimination.

The SA has had an ongoing humanitarian presence there since 1950.

I am not affiliated with the SA but I do greatly admire their efforts to aid "the least of these".

Thank you for that posting. Along with being very detailed and accurate about the Army’s work, it makes it clear that it is also an Evangelical church. As one of those laymen and women, who makes the Army my church home, I have the opportunity to provide not just regular financial support but also practical support done in the name of Jesus Christ.

The recently retired lay leader of our congregation is a medical doctor who each year arranges for a medical mission for a rural area of Honduras where there is no hospital or medical care available. They will go again this spring.

By and large most of the Army’s membership is in the third world. In Zimbabwe, for instance, it is the third largest religious denomination after the Catholics and the Anglicans
