The General calls for continued prayer for the conflict in Gaza
The Salvation Army welcomes the news of the temporary ceasefire and release of some hostages in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The Salvation Army prays for peace and the complete cessation of violence, and for the release of all remaining civilians who have been taken captive.
General Lyndon Buckingham comments: ‘Our prayers continue to go out to all those affected by this, and other conflicts throughout our world. Especially we pray for those who have lost loved ones, or who have sustained injury themselves.
‘The Salvation Army is committed to peace-making, and has a long-standing tradition of remaining neutral and non-partisan. As General, I call on Salvationists throughout the world to continue to pray for peace, to conscientiously pursue peace, and to equip themselves to become effective peacemakers.’
