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 (25-31 May) we pray for the USA Southern Territory.

Commissioners Kelly and Donna Igleheart lead the territory.

The Territory has 1406 officers (726 active, 680 retired); 30 cadets; 307 corps; 1 outpost; 27,050 senior soldiers; 1523 adherents; 4833 junior soldiers; 16,406 employees.

The work of the region includes:

Family services
Rehabilitation services
Disaster response
Summer camps for young people
Modern slavery and human trafficking response

Praise points:

An outpouring of the Holy Spirit during recent youth councils across our eight divisions with many decisions made for Christ.
Soldiers of various ages and backgrounds saying yes to God’s calling upon their lives as local officers or officers.
Our cadets’ recent spring mission trips which made a real impact both on them and on the communities where they served.
Transformed lives through the ministry of our adult rehabilitation centres and social services programs.
His overwhelming love which sustains us in the mission, and begs us to keep serving and keep loving.

Prayer Requests:

Revival as we embark on 365 days of 24/7 prayer across the territory, starting June 6, 2026.
Boldness for the cadets of the Keepers of the Covenant session, who will be commissioned and sent out to their first appointments on June 7, 2026.

Preparations for our 2027 Centennial Celebration, ‘ALL FOR JESUS,’ which will gather salvationists from every corner of our territory and beyond:
- To celebrate the faithfulness of God
- To call soldiers into deeper consecration
- A collective commitment to live set apart for God’s purposes
The Centennial Celebration will have a strong evangelistic focus, so join us in prayer that all plans will be God-honouring and transformational. Pray for the General and Commissioner Bronwyn Buckingham who will be our special guests.
Men, women, boys and girls to be loved into the Kingdom through saving faith in Jesus Christ.
