In war’s shadow: Spiritual welfare on the frontlines

Up and down the country today, Tuesday November 11th, Remembrance Day, just as they did on Sunday, many people will honour those servicemen and women who sacrificed their lives in previous wars and conflicts so that we could be free and could live in peace.

Not only must we remember those who fought and died, but also those who brought the spiritual courage and hope necessary for victories, amidst the suffering.

Spiritual welfare

For 187 years, the Soldiers' and Aviators' Scripture Readers Association (SASRA) has delivered such a ministry, not bearing arms but bearing the gospel as spiritual welfare: it remains as essential to warfare as strategy, tactics, weapons, rations and logistics.
