For those of you who may be interested in the beginnings of the Salvation Army and it’s Founders.
The Hope Channel are screening the programme ‘Our People: The story of William and Catherine Booth’ this week on TV.
It is a gripping narrative of the struggle, difficulty, love and ultimate triumph that the founders of The Salvation Army faced in their day as they embarked on a mission to take God’s love to the poor. The documentary was initiated by the Salvation Army in Sydney in 2009.
Programme screenings are available on Channel 27 on Freeview TV, or Sky Ch 204
Tuesday 7 July – 12.50pm and 11.00pm
Friday 10 July – 9.30pm
Saturday 11 July – 2.50pm
Alternatively, if you do not have access to TV but you have internet capabilities – why not check it out on the Hope Channel NZ where you can watch it online.
You could even invite some of your friends, family, work colleagues etc. over to find out more about the origins of The Salvation Army and then discuss with them how together you could be the “Salt & Light” in the world today – Bringing “Life & Hope” to those in our communities that need the love of God just as much in these unprecedented days.
In light of the recent teaching from Commissioner Mark Campbell over the past weekend (via Salvation Online).
I am reminded of a verse in the book of Esther where it says;
“If we persist in staying silent at a time like this, help and deliverance will arrive… from someplace else… Who knows? Maybe you (and I) were made… for such a time as this.” Esther 4:14 (The Message)
