War Cry is a fortnightly 24-page Christian magazine for Salvation Army readers and all those exploring faith issues.

In the Neighbourhood: Wellington 614 Corps

13 Mar 2010

Wellington 614 Corps, profiled in this week’s feature, has a solid commitment to core Salvation Army values. But as part of an international fellowship working with the marginalised in urban settings (614 Corps could be likened to religious orders in some other denominations) there’s no doubt that some of its methods are a little different from those employed elsewhere.

We Amplify You God!

27 Feb 2010

Those at the Amplify Creative Arts Camp put their talents at God’s disposal but shouldered responsibility to nurture those talents. This was an investment in both present and future.

Marriage: You CAN Have Happily Ever After

13 Feb 2010

The good news is that we don’t have to work out how to build a great marriage on our own. There are resources to help us ensure our marriage remains a wonderful place to live. Last year, after 21 years journeying together, my husband and I went along to The Marriage Course that’s promoted in this edition. It helped us break a few bad habits but also made us more appreciative of one another and more committed to our relationship.

When the Running Stops: A Love Story

30 Jan 2010

This edition’s story of Dave and Michelle is a reminder that when we reach the end of our resources we can discover how limitless God’s resources are.

Salvation Army Celebrates a Bright Future

16 Jan 2010

This edition highlights eleven men and women recently commissioned as Salvation Army officers (ministers). Pray for these individuals. Pray that in their ministry and leadership of others they would reveal Jesus so that he is not kept hidden from those who need him.

Wishing You a Happy Christmas

19 Dec 2009

Christmas greetings from the team at War Cry! We pray that you have a safe and blessed Christmas, with ample opportunity to relax and recharge as well as to revel in the wonder of God’s love for you.

One Shot for Rory Fallon

05 Dec 2009

The All Whites squad deserves the iconic status they’ll achieve by being the first New Zealand team at a FIFA World Cup since 1982—but I was particularly taken by striker Rory Fallon. Here is a man who, since becoming a Christian in 2007, has sought Jesus’ help in life. He’s a solid role model for other Christians who want to succeed in sports at a top level and anyone else wondering how to make sense of life.

After God’s Heart: Peter Bartholomew

21 Nov 2009

To me, the Junior Soldier Promise captures the type of relationship that God wants us all to have with him: one of enjoying life as his loved child, trusting that God truly is on our side. Of course, that doesn’t mean we don’t fall short of our best intentions sometimes, or that others don’t let us down on occasion too. After all, ‘to lead a life that is clean in thought, word and deed’ is a big ask at any age!

Spotlight on Tonga

07 Nov 2009

We can try to ‘make’ ourselves change, but success is far more likely when we work in partnership with God and allow him to re-make us, as Lineni did.

NZ’s Culture of Intoxication

24 Oct 2009

Whenever War Cry examines the issue of alcohol in society, I get nervous. Probably because I know some readers believe a Salvation Army agenda on the issue is always going to be biased against alcohol consumption.
