Join with Salvationists of the Wales Division for day 29 of 150 days of prayer.
- ‘The Lord makes his people strong. The Lord blesses his people with peace’ (Psalm 29:11, EasyEnglish Bible).
1902
William Booth demanded success and a positive, forward-looking attitude was very much the esprit de corps of the early Army. This was reflected in a War Cry article from 24 May 1902, headed, ‘Two Hundred Souls at Cardiff’:
‘“So you want to know what we are doing in Cardiff Division,” said Staff-Capt Green… “How’s this? The latest returns show an increase of one corps, seventy-two soldiers and recruits, two-dozen War Crys per week… We also did a big demonstration in the Cory Hall, Cardiff… You take my word for it, things are looking up.’
This uplifting extract, from a much longer article, shows the importance in the early Army of telling the story in numbers.
Prayer
- Pray for the work and witness of The Salvation Army in Cardiff – the corps, the community work, the Lifehouses and the outreach and support services.
