The Salvation Army World Service Office (SAWSO): http://www.sawso.org The USA National Headquarters launched its Salvation Army World Service Office (SAWSO) in 1977, with Major (later: Colonel) Ernest A. Miller as the first director (1977-1981), in order to find long term solutions to poverty in less developed countries where the Army is active. Since then, SAWSO's successive directors Mr. John Wiggins (1981-1984), Admiral Dean Seiler, United States Navy, Retired (1984-1994), Major Harden White (1994-2005) and Lt. Colonel Daniel Starrett (2006-) have maintained the original aim of SAWSO to help people help themselves through programs that improve living conditions, raise skill levels, increase productivity and instill self-confidence.

The Salvation Army expands work to 117 countries

The Salvation Army is now officially at work in 117 countries, with the most recent openings taking place in Kuwait and Mongolia.

Kuwait became the 116th country to fly the Salvation Army flag when Majors Michael and Teresa Hawley (from The Salvation Army USA Southern Territory) took up their appointments in the Arabic gulf state in August. They were joined in September by Lieutenants Robert and Glenis Viera, also from USA Southern, who were appointed to Kuwait direct from being newly-commissioned as Salvation Army officers.

Much of their ministry, based in the government-approved Protestant Compound, is expected to be with the 300-plus Salvationist immigrant workers who are originally from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, the Philippines and Sri Lanka. Contact with the ex-pat Salvationists was originally made when International Emergency Services ran its Iraq relief programme from Kuwait. This was followed by intensive research and visits to the country by the General's Representative for Global Evangelisation (Colonel Dick Krommenhoek) and the International Secretary for South Asia (Commissioner Lalkiamlova) in 2007.

On 13 October 2008, Mongolia became the most recent addition to the list of countries where The Salvation Army is officially at work. The new ministry will be overseen by the Korea Territory, which has arranged a special fundraising and prayer appeal for this missionary endeavour. Captain Lee, Min-ho and Captain Chang, Mi-hyun, having already been to Mongolia for research and preparation, were charged commence work for The Salvation Army by General Shaw Clifton during the Korea Centenary Congress in October this year. They departed soon after for Ulaanbaatar.

The Salvation Army is part of the Christian Church based on the theory:

"Heart to God, Hand to Man"

The Salvation Army preaches that the teachings of the Bible are fundamental - dealing with the Creation and the Fall of Humankind; and that our rebirth and salvation come through faith, Christ's sacrifice and the Divine grace enabling us to grow in righteousness through the power of God.
