We talk a lot about The Salvation Army’s fight against hunger, homelessness, against poverty. You might remember back to our series on the Pathway of Hope, episodes 88-93. In that series, we explored in depth The Salvation Army’s initiative to break the cycle of crisis and vulnerability for families—the effort to meet immediate needs and have a lasting, intergenerational impact by addressing the root causes of poverty and helping a family find a new path. So what does it look like in action? Today, I’m sharing the story of Ruth and her family. When Ruth left an abusive relationship, she found herself the single mother of six children, and she was struggling. Then, she met The Salvation Army and finally found hope. Listen in to hear Ruth and her family tell their story. We originally told this story in video so you can also watch it. Just head to the show notes for today’s show. EPISODE SHOWNOTES:  Read more.
