#InternationalMigrantsDay
With a week to go until Christmas Day, The Salvation Army’s international leader @GeneralBPeddle brings his #Christmas message. Watch from 2pm London time at https://t.co/zCekTyiey9
Major Joël Etcheverry shares how The Salvation Army has been responding to the #StrasbourgMarket shooting over the last 24 hours. Please continue to pray for all affected by this attack.
No stories are better than those of people, like Leo, who lived himself in the #salvationarmy shelter but since 5 years have a home of his own. He comes back to the ‘family’ for Christmas lunch. I had a good afternoon in Freiburg!
#Strasbourg: Our volunteers are safe and our corps (church) - which is close to yesterday’s shooting - will be open all day receiving people who want to have a rest, drink some coffee or speak about about what happened. Prayer will be available too.
