Doing the Most Good

You've no doubt seen this phrase on Salvation Army commercials, literature, mailings, or at the red kettle:

DOING THE MOST GOOD

What does that mean exactly?

It's not a boast or a brag.

It's a pledge.  It's a committment.  It's reaching the world.

Doing the Most Good: Our Manifesto

I am doing the most good.

I am hope.

I am compassion.

I am strength.

I am faith.

I am doing the most good.

I serve a community.

A region.

A nation.

A world.

I serve heroes.

I serve victims.

I serve a sovereign God.

I am doing the most good.

I am an Army.

Drafted by the Creator.

Commissioned by a man who defied death.

My enemies are despair and destruction.

My ammunition is grace and mercy.

My allies are generosity and benevolence.

I am an Army.

Helping others be all they can be.

I am doing the most good.

I feed empty stomachs and hungry souls.

I rebuild ruined homes and shattered lives.

I am a willing listener for a veteran with stories to tell.

I am a bottled water and an encouraging smile for a weary firefighter.

I am an answered prayer.

A silver lining.

A second chance.

I am doing the most good.

I am a humble steward of other people’s generosity.

I am a grateful courier of a stranger’s kindness.

I am the faithful executor of others’ goodwill.

I take responsibility seriously.

I am blessed.

I am a blessing.

I am The Salvation Army.

I am doing the most good.

I love that heart for our world.  It's why I am so passionate about making bell-ringing at the red kettle such an important part of my Christmas season.

Out for now......
