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
This just CAN'T be true!
Why, I've read right here in FR that the MORMONs are very big at doing good works!
VERY big - MUCH bigger than mere Christians!
Thank you.
What I like most about the SA is that it quietly goes about the business of caring for the "least of these" without feeling the need to publicize its good works.
I know that it has low-income homes for seniors and I donate my used clothing and household goods to their thrift stores. This in addition to all the work it does in foreign lands.
I have read Cathy Buckle's "Letters From Zimbabwe" and am glad to know that the SA is there. That country has undergone so much upheaval, and I fear that the present administration leans towards implementing Mugabe's methods in the US.
