Salvation Army: Serving Communities (2024x30)

Udgivelsesdato: Aug 04, 2024

Pam Rhodes marks 150 years of The Salvation Army in Wales by discovering the remarkable story of how it started its work there, and she looks back at stories that highlight how the 'Army' is still serving communities across the UK today. Pam travels to Merthyr Tydfil and the oldest Salvation Army church still in use in Wales, where she learns how two young girls were sent to this tough industrial town in 1848 to preach the gospel and – with God’s help – succeeded in bringing many people to faith. Aled Jones visits Liverpool and the Salvation Army’s community space ‘Strawberry Field’ to see how the place that inspired a classic Beatles song is now encouraging young people to find employment.
