From The Bottom
To The Top
In every sense, Jimmy
Greer had descended to
the lowest rung, his choices
as a husband, father and
businessman fueled only
by alcohol and drugs.
International
Leaders Inspire
Central Salvationists
General Andr� and
Commissioner Silvia Cox
charge Salvationists to live
out their faith with urgency.
Feasts Of The Lord
Festivals from the Old
Testament are more than
ethno�religious celebrations.
They provide a link to
Christianity's historic and
spiritual roots.
The Pathway
Of Hope
An innovative initiative
to help families break out
of the intergenerational
cycle of poverty harkens
back to the Army's original
principles and methods.

"
Celebration heartily done makes our deprivations
and sorrows seem small, and we find in it great
strength to do the will of our God because His
goodness becomes so real to us.
