A reimagining

Welcome to a new era of All the World magazine!

For more than 140 years, All the World has told the global story of The Salvation Army. What began in 1884 as a print publication now steps boldly into the digital age, with a fresh format and a renewed mission: to make inspiring stories from every corner of the globe more accessible than ever before. 

This isn’t just a redesign – it’s a reimagining. The new All the World continues to celebrate the legacy of the printed edition while embracing the possibilities of digital storytelling. Through powerful articles, personal reflections and global perspectives, we’ll explore how The Salvation Army is living out its calling as a church and a charity – uniquely rooted in local cultures, yet united in purpose. 

On this launch day, 1 October 2025, we share these stories: 

From China: In honour of the International Day of Older Persons, we look at how The Salvation Army’s Rui Xi Centre in Macau is ushering in a new era of compassionate, community-based support. 

To Mexico: Meet Fernanda Rivera, Chair of The Salvation Army’s International Children and Young People Advisory Group. She reflects on the power of safe spaces for young voices in the Church: ‘Being part of this group has been an answered prayer for my younger self.’  

Across the globe: Commissioner Jane Paone, The Salvation Army’s international ecumenical representative, reminds us that 'Behind everything we do is an ethos that places us at the heart of the universal Christian Church... Wherever we’ve been, we’ve served alongside and supported our sisters and brothers from other faith groups.’ 

And that’s just the beginning. 

In the coming weeks, you’ll journey with us to a tiny library with big dreams in Korea, hear from Salvation Army personnel serving in remote corners of the world in our new column ‘Scattered’, walk alongside an emotional and spiritual care responder who supported families during the devastating Texas floods earlier this year, and in the ‘Unfiltered’ column, young Salvationists (Salvation Army church members) deliver raw, real and straight-from-the-heart perspectives from around the world.  

You will also find theological reflections, thought-provoking viewpoints and stories that stir the soul. 

This is All the World – reimagined, reenergised and ready to inspire.
