Going to the Army - Episode 14 (August 2014)

"Going to the Army!" is a podcast series featuring Salvation Army music. This 14th monthly Episode is for August 2014 and continues the 2nd year of the "Going to the Army!" ministry. Originally begun for just a few friends and family members GttA has become SO MUCH MORE than that in just 12 months. The Episodes and 'specials' have been listened to or downloaded HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of times in all continents and more than 50 countries throughout the world - and has been played to even more by listeners who share them with family, church shut-ins and other friends who do not have access to the internet. We have had to upgrade from the FREE Podomatic service three times now so many thanks to those who have donated enabling us to be able to do that.There is a new feature this month in which I interview a Salvationist about their life and service - it is hoped to continue and develop this feature - and if you would like to be included please drop me a line atgoingtothearmy@marcharry.comThis new episode features music by SA bands, songster brigades, a male voice group, a congregational song, Ladies Voices and soloists.   Also referred to are the Salvation Army's Summer Camps which will be taking place around the world this month - including, of course, the first ever SA Music School in Malawi.
