Why Did You Join The Salvation Army?

[wildlily]

I joined after getting lost in the religion wars at other churches. This one fits me best,many friends attend. We are pretty visible in the public eye. We do alot with the homeless here.

Hi i visited all the churches in my area and frankly no one really talked to me other than hello. I prob was a bit scary to approach but when a salvo reached out to me and i went over to redcliffe corps i was loved into the fold just as broken as i am people immediately prayered for me and i began to build some solid relationships. I have continued to check out oter churches but it doesnt seem to matter where in the country i go i know if i go to an SA corp i am welcomed with loving arms

When I first attended our home Corps I was scared away for a few weeks by the unconditional love shown as opposed to the stony unwelcome eyes of the frozen chosen of the church of my youth.

Fortunatley I found that the unconditional love of my home corps was real.

I have since come out of retirement and pastor a Salvation Army Corps.

After I was in the Adult Rehabilitation Center [A.R.C.] In Pittsburgh, PA. And after praying about what God's will for me was, I told the Major, I wanted to make the Salvation Army my life, That was 6 years ago. I am still at the A.R.C. as a resident employee. I became a soldier a year and a half ago. and it has been a wonderful journey so far.

I am not sure where to post this, but I have often thought of joining the Salvation Army, as we met some wonderful people who were Salvationists. They were both Officers, a married couple. We met them on holiday and we became firm friends. We were Methodists at the time. That is many years ago, and the wife has since died, I am told. We have always always respected the Salvation Army so much.

From reading in this forum I have discovered (at least I think I have) that the Army is changing and like many denominations, becoming more 'modern'? Is that right? I keep saying I will go to our local Corps but have not got msyelf there yet. I really do want to go though.

Thankyou, Salvation Army, for being there and for being wonderful people - God bless you.
