Proud to be a Salvo!

[chaplainjared]

We recently had terrible bush fires here in South Australia, and it made me so proud to be a Salvo to see that the Salvos automatically responded. Got out there, set up a donation lines and helped. Surely this is what being a christian really is. To show love to someone in this way is exactly what Jesus would have done...helped out where he could, to show Gods love.

thats awsome to hear. one thing i learnt while in AFrica was about how people can give so much with out having to give of material things. the salvos do a great job of this

That's always great to hear. I don't know about the rest of Australia, but around here (South East Queensland) the Salvos have emergency services support units, groups of Salvos that head out to bushfires and make sure the firefighters get fed, have enough water, basically do whatever they can to help out the emergency services guys. I was amazed when I first heard about it, I'd never even thought about who feeds the guys during emergencies.

When I sell papers its great to hear stories from older guys about salvationists always being there. In the UK, the fire brigade is extremely fond of us- we turn out to support them for any big jobs they have.
