Pray for Kevin and Family

BREAKING: American Christian teacher Kevin Rideout was taken by armed men in Niger.

A father of four, Kevin was helping local communities and supporting fellow Christians. He was taken in the middle of the night, and his last known location was near a high-risk area.

Pray for Kevin’s safe return. Pray for strength for his family. What’s happening to Christians in parts of the world should concern us all.

Peggy H. - The General’s Health

From General Lyndon Buckingham

“By now, many will have heard that I had a medical incident whilst celebrating the 95th anniversary with Hong Kong salvationists.

I was admitted to hospital where I received excellent intervention and treatment, in the form of heart angioplasty to clear a blocked artery.

I have responded to this procedure well and am expected to make a full recovery.

I have been discharged from hospital and am now resting, awaiting a follow up consultation with the cardiologist next Monday.

Bronwyn and I express our heartfelt gratitude for the many prayers and messages of support we have received since Saturday.

Our thanks to Territorial Leaders, Colonels Phil and Deslea Maxwell for their tremendous care and support.

We feel wrapped in the love of the global Salvation Army and give thanks to God for His providential care 🙏”
