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......
