Ministries Join Together in Service

17.10.2002

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado—On October 4, members of International Bible Society (IBS) and The Salvation Army (TSA) met to acknowledge a “mutual desire to cooperate in ministry.” IBS President Peter Bradley and TSA National Chief Secretary Col. Thomas Lewis signed a Memorandum of Understanding. “By complimenting each other’s strengths,” the memorandum states, “we can expand the impact of our respective organizations.”

IBS will produce a new version of its disaster booklet, When Your Whole World Changes, specifically for TSA. It will have 31 days of Bible readings and commentary, a custom cover design and testimonies appropriate to TSA’s mission. The Salvation Army workers will distribute these booklets to disaster survivors as part of its outreach.

IBS has also formed a team of staff members who will volunteer to minister alongside TSA during times of disaster.

“The potential of releasing God’s power through His Word coupled with God’s love and mercy through the wonderful outreach of The Salvation Army is beyond measurement,” Bradley said in a letter to Lewis.

Founded in 1865, The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination.

International Bible Society, founded in 1809, faithfully translates, publishes and reaches out with God’s Word so that people around the world may become disciples of Jesus Christ and members of His Body.
