The Soldiers’ and Aviators’ Scripture Readers Association (SASRA), a missionary organisation that takes the gospel of Christ to the British Armed Forces, reports that it has helped prevent ‘multiple’ suicides.
The organisation reports: ‘Alongside sharing the gospel, Scripture Readers, together with Chaplaincy and the Welfare Service, walk with military personal and their families who are struggling through a variety of mental health and wellbeing issues.
‘A Reader was recently told by a soldier: ‘If it wasn’t for you and the Padre, I would probably have taken my own life.’ This is not an unfamiliar story to many Readers; the impact of their work is incalculable, both spiritually and materially.
