Digitally-accessible magazines
Every day, The Salvation Army is at work in 128 countries. It is hard to imagine the scope of that work done by hundreds of thousands of Salvationists in countries not just in distance to us in proximity, but in diverse cultures and conditions. All the World, published four times a year by International Headquarters, opens a window onto the work and message of Jesus being proclaimed in far-flung places.The digital version appears a couple months after the magazine is printed.
The team at the New Zealand War Cry consistently produce engaging, thought-provoking coverage of the work of The Salvation Army in the New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga Territory in this fortnightly magazine (pictured right). The digital version normally appears about a month after its publication.
SACONNECTS, NEW FRONTIER CHRONICLE and the CANADIAN SALVATIONIST

News, testimonies, features, opinion pieces and testimonies bring to life the rich diversity of the work of The Salvation Army in this part of the world.
