In Depth:  SASRA

The Soldiers’ and Aviators’ Scripture Readers Association (SASRA), a missionary organisation that takes the gospel of Christ to the British Armed Forces, reports that it has helped prevent ‘multiple’ suicides.

The organisation reports: ‘Alongside sharing the gospel, Scripture Readers, together with Chaplaincy and the Welfare Service, walk with military personal and their families who are struggling through a variety of mental health and wellbeing issues.

Major Andy McMahon has become the Northern Representative for the Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Scripture Readers Association (SASRA) after 20 years’ service in the Army.

Andy was brought up in Northern Ireland in a Christian home and committed his life to the Lord when he was 13. He served in the Royal Irish Regiment before transferring to the Royal Artillery, in due course serving as a Battery Commander. He plans to continue as a Reservist with the Army alongside his SASRA Area Representative duties.
