One life at a time. A society is best transformed when it is lifted from the bottom: when one elderly man is given warm shelter for the evening; when a struggling mother is offered support; or when a troubled youth recieves key guidance at a critical moment.
Throughout the nation, The Salvation Army is helping transform society one life at a time, leading as it serves. It's a story as old as the Army itself. Older in fact: Perhaps it started when a good man washed His friends' feet.
There is also a story of the founder of The Salvation Army, William Booth, who on his death bed wanted to get a message out to all of the soldiers of The Salvation Army to encourage and direct them in what to do when he was gone. He said one simple word, "Others." The call to serve others is nothing new to those of us that are Christians, but you know what...sometimes it's good to be reminded.
Be about others.
