From Mark Russell Chief Executive, Church Army

I want to tell you about our new website Church Army ONLINE where you can get more of a feel for the amazing work Church Army Evangelists are doing right across the UK and Ireland to bring the good news of the gospel to those with little or no contact with church. The new site launched this week and is focussed on telling stories through film and I would like to encourage you to watch them and download them for your own use. See how husband and wife evangelists Mark and Heather Dadds are serving the community in Marylebone London; Val Thom at work with young people and families in east Belfast; Alan Park and the homeless bus project in Chesterfield and Jonathan Wiggam working with the night time street pastor team in Aldershot.

Together with scores of other films these just represent a fraction of the work we are doing: work which our President Archbishop Desmond Tutu describes as vital and impressive. Church Army exists to show ordinary men, women and children that, whatever they are feeling, and however desperate their circumstances appear to be, God hasn't given up on them and there is hope. That has been the story of Church Army since 1882, and that is what Church Army ONLINE hopes to reflect. Please let me know what you think about the site and remember that your prayers and support for what we do are really appreciated.
