Walking Together

Self Denial 2027

The official Self Denial Appeal will run throughout Australian Salvation Army corps from Sunday 7 February to Sunday 14 March 2027.

This upcoming Self Denial Appeal will show how your sacrificial giving supports The Salvation Army’s evangelical, mission and community development projects around the world. Inspired by the theme ‘Walking Together’, the weekly videos will show where past Self Denial funds have been used in Pakistan, Samoa, Thailand and Uganda. All videos (main congregation and children’s versions) will be available for download from the Self Denial website (mySalvos Toolkit) from early 2027.

Below are the resources you can order to be professionally printed and posted to you. These will also be available as digital assets from December 2026. Scroll down for the list of all resources that will be available online only.

Orders for print resources close Wednesday 30 September.

NB: This is earlier than previous years to increase delivery timelines.

Children's resources

Children's videos will be available for download from the Self Denial resources site (mySalvos Toolkit) from early 2027.

Money box:

Use the money box as a practical way to engage primary school-aged children in the concept of saving a little each week. Where appropriate, emphasise sacrificial giving, but in cases where children are financially disadvantaged or don't receive 'pocket money', the money box template includes care tokens that the children can use to show they've cared for others. Order one per child.

Children's workbook:

Kidzone has created a workbook for children full of comics, puzzles, fun facts and prayer points. Use in conjunction with the leaders' guide (which will be available to download via the mySalvos Toolkit closer to the appeal). Order one per child.

Children's poster:

To place in your foyer, hall or Sunday school area.
