Cover picture: Former location in Downtown Houston, 1950s 1 Message from our Leadership Dear Salvation Army Friends, 125 years ago, a group of five officers arrived in Houston with only the clothes on their backs and a single mission in their hearts – to meet human needs in His name without discrimination. Preaching on the streets of our great city, they never would have imagined what The Salvation Army would grow into. Over a century later, it is humbling to see the Army’s reach and how it has spread across Greater Houston. Serving three counties through 17 area locations, The Salvation Army Houston provides support services and emergency response to tens of thousands of individuals and families each year. That’s quite a growth from our humble beginnings. Some things have not changed. Just as those early followers of William Booth worked tirelessly to provide basic services to the poor and the sick, that same spirit and commitment can be seen on the faces of our current officers and program staff. The Lord continues to bless us, whether we are serving thousands recover from a disaster or helping a single family find a new home. Major Sandy and I feel privileged to have been a part of the past six years in Houston. In this short time alone, we have seen tremendous growth, not only in our facilities but in our programs. As Houston continues to evolve, The Salvation Army has likewise been called to support new and changing communities. At each new turn, we have answered that call with spirit and great compassion. In response to the overwhelming need for youth program support in Acres Homes, The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Clubs opened the Garden City branch in 2011. Today the center serves over 50 children per day, and over 120 children during the summer months. “WHILE WOMEN WEEP, AS THEY DO NOW, Responding to the need to provide homeless women a warm meal and safe night’s rest, The Salvation Army established the Transitional Women’s Center at Sally’s House in 2012. Hundreds of women have been provided safe shelter and have had the opportunity to enter our rehabilitation program through this emergency shelter. I’LL FIGHT; I have also seen the Lord’s work in Alief – a thriving and diverse community in Southwest Houston – at the International Corps Community Center. In 2014, The Salvation Army opened a new building for the Corps in order to accommodate the need for continuing education classes, WHILE CHILDREN GO HUNGRY, AS THEY DO NOW youth programming, and worship services. Today, it is the fastest growing Corps in the Southern Territory. I’LL FIGHT; And now, even as we break ground on The Wayne Bergstrom Center of Hope emergency shelter in Conroe, we have not even scratched the surface. There is great potential to serve the community in new and creative ways. Looking back at how the Army has grown in my tenure, as well as our 125 years in existence, we will continue to hear the calls of our community, and respond compassionately as the Lord guides us. WHILE MEN GO TO PRISON, IN AND OUT, Please remember – none of our achievements would have been possible without your support and confidence in the Army. To those that have been with us for many years, and those new faces we welcome this year, we extend our sincerest appreciation for your trust. As you read through this IN AND OUT, AS THEY DO NOW, Annual Report, hopefully you will not only see our faithfulness as we strive to serve Greater Houston, but also a history faithfulness that stretches across our rich history. I’LL FIGHT; With the fervor and commitment of those first officers who arrived in Texas 125 years ago, The Salvation Army will remain committed to Doing the Most Good in His name. All of us thank you for your devoted spirit and continued blessings. WHILE THERE IS A POOR LOST GIRL UPON THE STREETS, Major Chris Flanagan Area Commander WHILE THERE REMAINS ONE DARK SOUL It has been an honor to serve as Chair of The Salvation Army’s Advisory Board the past two years. I am humbled and WITHOUT THE LIGHT OF GOD, truly grateful to have been a part of this organization’s community-leading efforts in Greater Houston. From the building of the International Corps Community Center in Southwest Houston in 2012, to the construction of the much needed new homeless shelter, the Wayne Bergstrom Center of Hope, in Conroe currently taking place, I have shared my duties I’LL FIGHT; with some of the most committed and inspiring men and women I have ever met. I look forward to seeing how The Salvation Army will continue to grow and meet the needs of the community over the coming years, and offer my I’LL FIGHT TO THE VERY END!” sincerest blessings for the next 125 years. -WILLIAM BOOTH, 1912 Jeffrey B. Early Chairman, Board of Advisors 2 3 History Eliza Shirley (center) and family The Salvation Army is one of the largest and most well-respected Brought the Army to the U.S. non-profit organizations in the world. Currently serving in 126 countries and preaching the Gospel in 160 languages, the Army has touched countless lives affected by sickness, poverty, and loneliness. None of this would have been possible if not for the vision of one man 150 years ago, William Booth. Formerly a Methodist minister in England, Booth left the pulpit to start preaching to those who were ignored and undeserved by the community. He preached to the homeless, the hungry, and the addicted, those who did not feel welcome attending George Scott Railton a conventional church. Thus began the work of The Salvation First Army Commissioner in the U.S. Army, on a mission to serve those most in need. As the Army grew, so did its reach around the globe. Lieutenant Eliza Shirley, who left England to accompany her parents to Adam Janelli America, held the first Salvation Army meeting in the United Founder of Army in Texas States. A year after requesting increased presence in the United States, Commissioner George S. Railton and seven young women arrived in New York in 1880. By 1889, the Army made its way to Texas with the arrival of Adam Janelli in Dallas. Janelli was a captain in the Italian Navy who had seen the Army’s work in Calcutta, India. A few months later, a band of four young women arrived in Houston, led by Hattie B. Savage, also known as Captain French. With them, they brought the Lord’s music and message. Playing on wooden sidewalks for all to hear, the footprint of The Salvation Army grew throughout Texas and across the country. Today, The Salvation Army of Greater Houston serves three counties and operates 17 locations. In its 125 years of service, the Army has remained steadfast in helping those most in William Booth need and providing a safe haven to anyone seeking it in Texas Founder of The Salvation Army and across the country. Captain French and Salvationists Founder of the Army in Houston 4 5 International Corps Corps Community Centers In keeping with military terminology, The Salvation Army “corps” is a church and a place of worship. For more than fifty years, the Army in Houston was only one Corps. The “Houston Corps” offered social service assistance, shelter to the homeless and a Citadel for worship. Despite its smaller size compared to today, The Salvation Army was dedicated to meeting human needs across the growing Houston community. In the early 1940s, the Army opened a Corps Community Center solely for community engagement, separate from its service to the indigent population. At the new facility, the Army held sports programs, children’s activities, community meetings and other activities. This first Corps Community Center would become what we now know as Temple Corps. Responding to the need of the community, the Army opened Corps Community Centers in Pasadena, Conroe and Aldine Westfield over the next five decades. At the turn of the century, the last three Corps opened: Northwest, Harbor Light and International. Despite its widening program offerings, the Army’s dedicated officers and program staff in Houston have remained committed to the ideals of William Booth. Aside from Harbor Light, which specifically focuses on the men at the Center and the Red Shield Lodge, each of these Corps are Community Centers and offer a variety of religious, recreational and educational programs for their area, such as a senior day center, youth outreach, and food assistance.

Kids today have no shortage of heroes. From Hollywood celebrities to music artists and sports figures, it would seem that there are plenty of heroes to go around. The heroes being offered by popular culture are teaching children that physical perfection, financial success, and fame are the most important goals in life. The morals and values presented by these heroes are often in direct opposition to the standards parents want to pass on to their children. So, while there is no shortage of heroes, there is a dreadful shortage of heroes worth emulating.

  • 16 Million People Travel Between Houston and North
    MARKETING CONTENT TRANSFORMING TRAVEL IN TEXAS Assessing passenger demand for high-speed train service between North Texas, the Brazos Valley and Greater Houston 1 MARKETING CONTENT ABOUT THE PROJECT The design, construction, finance and operation of a new high-speed passenger train line connecting Hous- ton and North Texas has been under development for five years. The project expects to begin construction in 2018, and will enable passengers to travel between Houston and North Texas in 90 minutes, including a stop in the Brazos Valley. This transformational project will provide a safe, productive, fast and reliable choice for travelers between Texas’ two largest economic hubs, using proven, world-class technology. The increased mobility between two of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the US made possible by the Texas Bullet Train will deliver substantial and long-lasting benefits to both the state and local economies. Texans will have a safe, productive and reliable choice for travel between Houston, the Brazos Valley and North Texas. ABOUT THE STUDY In January 2016, Texas Central appointed L.E.K. Consulting to conduct a study exploring the opportunity for a high-speed train service in Texas and the benefits it could bring to Texans. L.E.K. has developed a commercially-driven, technology-enabled forecast for passenger demand including: • Estimating the market size and growth rate for travel between the two metropolitan areas; • Undertaking primary market research with input from more than 2,000 Texans to understand local travel habits and determine the Texas Bullet Train’s potential share of the travel market; and • Building a robust and highly granular forecasting model to predict future passenger demand under a range of assumptions and different scenarios.

  • Dear JRAN Community: Today, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo Held A
    March 23 NOON - JRAN Email Dear JRAN Community: Today, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo held a press conference to brief the public on the status of social distancing and the county’s testing sites. I will go over the press conference, what a “stay-at-home” order may look like, a call to action for Congress, Walker County’s curfew, and one interesting thing I learned today. I anticipate more developments later this afternoon, so I will keep this email brief. There is no “stay-at-home” order currently, but are still requiring social distancing: • Will not be called “shelter in place” because it does not describe what is being asked o Shelter in place typically is used during hurricanes or other natural disasters o Requires people not to leave their homes o Stay-at-home will allow people to leave for essential services • Harris County and the City of Houston are still assessing what services are considered “essential” before making a determination of a stay-at-home order Harris County has opened two testing sites, bringing the total public sites to three (City of Houston has one): • Each site has the capacity to test 250 people per day • Must complete an online assessment at www.ReadyHarris.org • Can also call 832-927-7575 • 3 step process: o Online screening (or by phone if no internet access) o Phone assessment o In-person test (will be given unique code) • Only people who are symptomatic will be tested • Priority testing will go to o First responders o Health care workers o People 65+ o People at higher risk due to existing medical conditions There have been a lot of questions around what a stay-at-home order will require.

Jackson The history of The Salvation Army is incredibly rich. Those who spend time researching and writing it are keenly aware of this truth. Those who choose to read books, articles and thoughtful studies on The Salvation Army’s past come to understand the depth and importance of the subject. The history of this organization maintains a uniqueness that separates this movement from oth- er religious organizations, churches and nonprofits. We are similar in some respects, but our uniqueness is what tells the story that most readers of our past want to know and profit from. Just prior to the release of Maud, Emma, Evangeline: America’s Love Affair with the 3 Booth Women, I spent several hours interviewing Dr. R. Gordon Moyles for a promotional video about the book. I was taken by Moyles’ pas- sion for the subject of his latest work, and his lifelong study of The Salvation Army.
