Faith. Service. Leadership. 🙌
Six young adults from The Salvation Army Prairies & Northern Territories Youth recently travelled to Yellowknife to serve, learn and grow through a weekend of ministry and community engagement. From lending a hand at The Salvation Army Yellowknife to leading worship, they put their faith into action and made a meaningful impact along the way.
