New blog connecting Salvo young adults
Young adults aged 18 to 30 across The Salvation Army are engaging with a new online blog called Salvo Young Adults.
Developed by the newly formed Territorial Young Adults Mission team, the blog was launched at the Australia Eastern Territorial’s annual discipleship and creative arts conference, EQUIP, in Sydney in October.
The blog was initiated by a group of young adults from the Greater West Division to meet the needs of small pockets of Salvo young adults who were eager to connect with their peers throughout the territory.
“We are trying to roll with the times and encourage broader conversations around faith, life and mission and what does that mean in application to a young adult’s life,” said Young Adults Development Coordinator, Lauren Mason. “So the blog aims to be very practical, personal experience, just a place where people can learn from each other.” A Salvo Young Adults Facebook Group has also been launched.
A pool of 15 writers contribute to the blog, including Salvo young adults, officers, youth leaders and youth pastors. Lauren said the main aim was to directly challenge young adults about their spiritual walk with God and what it means to be a Salvo. She also said the blog will soon launch a video teaching series with mini sermons about the relevance of The Salvation Army in the 21st century.
“I think more and more that young adults are actually proud that they are Salvo but we’re trying to educate them on how to you actually have intellectual discussion around what is uniquely Salvo,” she said.
