The Salvation Army Penang Corps

Salvation Army Malaysia (25 November 2010)


The Salvation Army (5.41766, 100.31722) is an international Christian evangelical organisation with its headquarters in London, England. In Penang, it is best known for running a children's home, particularly the boys' orphanage.

The Salvation Army was founded by William Booth in Nottingham, England, in 1829. Booth decided to start an organisation that can bring the Gospel to the poor and destitute when the existing middle class churches were less than enthusiastic in the work. Together with his wife Catherine, Booth created the East London Christian Mission with a quasi-military structure. The church itself is called the "corp" (as in the body of Christ) and its mission workers are known as "soldiers" (being soldiers of God), styled with a military-inspired hierarchy.

The logo of the Salvation Army is a red shield. It traces its history to the Boer War in South Africa, at the end of the 19th century.

The work of The Salvation Army in Malaya was started in 1938 by Salvation Army Major Adjutant Frederick Harvey, who arrived with his wife and toddler son to commence the Gospel ministry in Penang. Their choice of mission programme, little changed till this day, was to reach out to under-privileged children, those from broken homes and the orphans. The Second World War interrupted Major Harvey's work when he was incarcerated in the Penang Prison, and thereafter moved to Changi Prison.

Today the Salvation Army of Malaysia is headquartered at Perak Road in Penang. It also has churches throughout the country. In Penang it also runs the Salvation Army Children's Home along Logan Road.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
