New Captains arrive to lead Salvation Army in Tyler

TYLER — The Salvation Army in Tyler welcomed new leaders this week, Captains Jeremy and Michelle Walker and their three daughters moved to the Rose City from West Texas. On Thursday, Capatin Walker capusulated his goal with KTBB, “We just believe that there is a point in everyone’s lives where someone needs help, and we need a helping hand up. We want to be there to bridge that gap and to be able to help those that are in need and get them back on their feet.”

Walker continued, “Unfortunately there is need and we hope to one day be out of business as far as social services aspect of it. But the reality is, there is always a need. There is always someone that is having the worst day of their life and we want to be that beacon in the night and be there for those folks.” Salvation Army Officers are periodically transferred to different locations, ussualy every three to five years. The Walker family most recently were responsible for the programs and social services of the Midland ministry.
