Testimonies

  • "I couldn't tell you about the calling, it looks different for everyone. But I knew at a point that there was more to me than being set free from addiction. That’s when my pastor introduced me to the Evangeline Booth College and right there was where I said, 'That's the calling.' "

    Cadet Timothy Green

  • "They take care of the kids! If anybody who is thinking about coming here has any concerns about their kids, your kids will be okay here. I promise you, from one parent to another, your kids will be okay here. I would not lie about that."

    Cadet Bria Swaringam

  • “We have been very involved in other churches, in several different denominations, but we had never seen people truly being the hands and feet of Jesus like we saw at The Salvation Army. At that moment, we knew The Salvation Army was where we were called to minister.”

    Cadet Kalynn Green

  • "Here you will be put in situations where they will hone in on your weaknesses, but make you stronger because of them. They put you in uncomfortable situations but they'll come beside you and train you, not criticize you. They really come alongside you and support you as you sharpen your skills."

    Cadet Jacob Swaringam
