Our SSC teams step into their assignments this June. Join us in praying:
• That they would go with humble hearts, ready to listen, learn, and serve alongside local leaders.
• For meaningful relationships to be formed—marked by mutual encouragement, respect, and love.
• That they would be attentive to what God is already doing in each community.
• For the Holy Spirit to guide, shape, and grow them through every moment of this experience.

Drop a prayer for them in the comments. Let them know you're covering them as they prepare to serve.

Youth ministry comes with questions no manual can answer. The behavioral issue you don't know how to navigate. The parent conversation you're dreading. The program that isn't working, and you don't know why.

The Youth Down South Podcast connects you with leaders who have been there. Every episode brings real conversations, practical wisdom, and ideas you can actually use.

This is a community on demand for Salvation Army youth leaders across the territory.

This week, we celebrate The Salvation Army's impact across the territory. But behind every program, every service, every moment that changes a life is a youth leader doing the quiet work of discipleship.

The Youth Down South Podcast is built for those leaders. Every episode connects you with people in the trenches of youth ministry, sharing practical tips, honest stories, and ideas you can use this week.

Whether you're preparing for Sunday, driving to youth group, or taking a break between meetings, this is your community on demand.

Called.

The people who give their lives to The Salvation Army – officers, soldiers, employees, volunteers – aren't doing a job. They answered something.

Some heard it as kids and never let it go. Some heard it later, after a long road that didn't go where they thought it would. Some heard it through a corps officer who showed up when nobody else did. Some heard it in a recovery program, on the other side of the worst chapter of their lives.

They didn't all hear it the same way. They all said yes.

"God hasn't called the world to provide that love; He called us, The Salvation Army, you and me." – Commissioner Donna Igleheart

To love. To serve. To follow. That's the calling. And there are nearly 1.6 million people across the country – officers, employees, and volunteers – living it out right now.
