The Salvation Army's reasons for world evangelisation as on the internet site...


World Evangelisation is:

  • Enabling every person on earth to hear the gospel in a way they can understand, and have a valid opportunity to become a Christian
  • An approach to man in his totality and the world in its totality in order to transform, perfect and save them


We are committed to World Evangelisation because:
  • We accept that Christ’s Great Commission applies to us
  • We know how much the salvation made possible by Jesus has transformed us, so we want to share it with others throughout the world
  • Our activity, however small it may be, makes a contribution to world justice and peace
  • It helps prepare for the future coming of Jesus. (Mark 13:10)


And also because:
  • It is within the traditions of our movement and the church
  • It stimulates the life of the home church

Salvationist Involvement


Salvationists share in world evangelisation by:

  • Regarding themselves as being involved in Christian mission locally, wherever they are
  • Being involved in mission with their corps/congregation/centre
  • Supporting the International Self-Denial Fund
  • Partnership with another part of the world church
  • Praying for a selected part of the world – through the Prayer Covenanters’ League and in other ways
  • Considering God’s call to ‘go into all the world’ (Mark 16: 15)

I don't like that this is written on our "Internet Site" but not on the walls of our buildings for the soldiery to examine and live out.
