The organisation that seeks to read the Bible with members of the Armed Forces says its work is growing significantly – and military personnel are coming to faith.
Just two years ago, the Soldiers’ and Aviators’ Scripture Readers Association (SASRA) employed 13 Scripture Readers, all committed to sharing the gospel with the Armed Forces. Today there are 21 of them, serving across the UK and overseas, reaping a harvest in what many are calling a quiet revival – this being within the military.
Warren Burdo, Operations Director of SASRA, says: “An example is unfolding at the Army Training Regiment (ATR) in the South of England, where new recruits undergo their 13-week basic training. Alongside marching, shooting, map reading, fitness and fieldcraft, trainees are encountering something even more powerful with the help and commitment of our Scripture Reader there, the gospel. God is clearly at work.
