Employment Plus

Did you know that we are closing in on the 500,000th person obtaining employment through the services of TSA over the past 9 years? That's just in Australia. When it happens, not only will it be a good moment for someone unemployed, but a wonderful moment in TSA social service.

Since we have been doing employment services of some sort for over 100 years, there is no doubt in my mind that we have indeed passed this marker. This fact isn't as important as is the reality that people are still out of work. They need our help and our help includes training and placement counseling and even more. Employment support continues to be one of those essential services to enable people in their journeys. That's one of our jobs.

2 Timothy 4:5 (MSG)
5 But you—keep your eye on what you're doing; accept the hard times along with the good; keep the Message alive; do a thorough job as God's servant.

Working at 614 has really opend my eyes to the problems facing those without employment.

Take a normal person, add an addiction or two, years of homelessness, abuse, mental illness and you've got your hands full helping someone get to the point of being employable.

God bless the Salvos for this important work!
