Welcome to the
Salvation Army Philippians
Territory
In Brief: The first
protestant preaching of the
gospel in The Philippines was
undertaken by Major John Milsaps,
a chaplain appointed to
accompany US troops from San
Francisco to Manila in July
1898. Major Milsaps conducted
open-air and regular meetings
and led many into a saving
knowledge of Jesus Christ.
The advance of The Salvation
Army in The Philippines came at
the initiative of Filipinos who
had been converted through
contact with the Army in Hawaii
and then returned to their
homeland. During the period
1933-37 they commenced meetings
in Panay, Luzon, Cebu and
Mindanao Islands. In June 1937
Colonel and Mrs Alfred Lindvall
officially inaugurated this
widespread work.
The Salvation Army was
incorporated in 1963 as a
religious and charitable
corporation under Company
Registration No 24211. The

social welfare and development
corporation under Company
Registration No 73979 and The

Services was incorporated in

corporation under Company
Registration No A200009937.
