“God really chose me to serve his people once again. Without Him I am nothing. He is the author of my life story and I simply cannot wait to see how He uses me this summer as I devote it fully to Him!”

“I choose to do SSC because I felt the Lord calling me to do so, and I am deciding as of now to walk in his truth and to do his will.”

“I felt that God was leading me to go out of my comfort zone to share his word with those who may otherwise never hear it. I think God really wants to work in my life this summer and transform me and my team. We’re a group of young adults who are on fire for the Lord and who want to share that with the world.”

“I want to become more of a servant leader and learn what it really means to be a servant of God.”

“I’m seeking a life changing experience while growing deeper with God and figuring out my calling to be a Salvation Army officer.”

“I chose SSC this year because I felt that it was time to start living in my truth, spreading the word of God, and being a servant for him. I also felt this was a good way for my relationship to grow in the Lord by following him, trusting more in him, and doing what the Lord wants for my life.”

“I want to discover the world and also myself.”

“SSC has shaped who I am as a Christian and I’m really excited that God has allowed me to lead a team and grow not only spiritually but as a leader.”

“Seeing the impact SSC has made on my friends and family, I decided to sign up and see for myself! I want to glorify the Lord, and shine his light wherever He takes me.”

“I chose to do SSC because God is calling me to step out in faith, and has laid missions on my heart.”

“I chose SSC to grow in my spiritual life and to see God through new cultures. I also seek to be a servant of God’s will and do my best to spread his gospel and share in fellowship with others around the world.”

“I chose to be a part of SSC to stand up for something much greater than myself and be a part of a world wide mission statement, all while reflecting God’s love.”

“I chose to do SSC because I want to see what The Salvation Army is doing around the world and I want to be apart of that.”

“I chose SSC because I want my giving, sacrificing and helping to be second nature. I want to focus less on me and what my plans are and take time to notice the world around me and what it needs from me. I would like to develop my talents for the glory of our Lord.”

“I chose SSC this year because I feel called to help overseas in whatever way possible and what better way than to do it than with an organization that I have been in my whole life-The Salvation Army!”
