Something for everyone at international congress

Something for everyone at international congress

The O2 will be the venue for Boundless, The Salvation Army’s International Congress, to celebrate 150 years as an organisation in 2015.

The week’s schedule from 1-5 July will include a variety of sessions and activities for all age groups within The Salvation Army from all parts of the world. Over the week, Boundless will have concerts (both indoor and outdoor), musicals, international prayer meetings, sessions specifically for young adults and even an International Officers’ Councils.

Boundless will also cater for delegates who bring their children. There will be two separate programs: the Nursery for children under five and the children’s program for children between 5-12. There will even be a Trade Superstore where guests can purchase Salvation Army supplies. To view the schedule visit www.boundless2015.org

The leader of the international Salvation Army, General André Cox has put a call out to Salvationists to support the Mind The Gap initiative. He encourages Salvationists to raise funds to assist Salvationist from territories, commands and regions who are unable to afford to attend Boundless.

The General would like to issue a challenge to every corps and centre to help raise funds whether as an individual or group effort. It is estimated that approximately 3,500 corps/centres within financially independent territories could offer support. The challenge is for 50% of those corps to commit to sponsoring one delegate. This would mean an additional 1,750 delegates would be able to attend Boundless.

The Congress Office will need to be notified by June 1, 2014 about an individual or group effort to participate in Mind The Gap. All donations raised must be given to The Congress Office by January 1, 2015. For further details visit www.boundless2015.org
