· Pray for South America West Territory

Please pray for the nations of this territory – Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador and Peru.

Do you know the countries that make up the South America West Territory? They are: Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador and Peru.

Each week through 2026, Salvationists around the world are uniting in prayer for the same territory or region of The Salvation Army. Prayer requests are shared by the territory/region to help us pray with precision and power for one another.

This week (9-15 February) we pray for the South America West Territory.

Music is a major ministry focus in the South America West Territory.

This territory has 321 officers (209 active, 112 retired), 92 corps, 6 outposts, 4507 senior soldiers, 1249 adherents, 1338 junior soldiers, and 1057 employees.
