Self-Denial Resources

1 February - 1 March 2026

What is the focus for Self-Denial 2026?

Every year, Self-Denial gives us a valuable opportunity to unite with Salvationists around the world, to share the love of Jesus and to care for people who are disadvantaged and in need. This year, we stand with those who are struggling in the face of life’s challenges in Estonia. For many, issues of addiction, hardship and lack of opportunity feel endless. They may not see hope, but we can. We will be telling the stories of people who have been helped by The Salvation Army and hearing from the people that make this possible.

What resources are available for Self-Denial 2026?

Five films exploring how The Salvation Army is supporting life-changing work in Estonia are available to download below. 

​In addition to the films, the following resources are available at the bottom of this webpage:

  • A short introduction thought to the 2026 appeal
  • Five all-age activity sheets to go alongside the videos
  • Poster and leaflet
  • Personal collection boxes and envelopes

We really hope and pray that as these resources are used in your worship services this Self-Denial, your corps will be encouraged to support the international mission of The Salvation Army. 

If you have any queries, please email Bex Turner, Head of Community and Membership Fundraising, at territorial.appeals@salvationarmy.org.uk

This year's theme, Hidden to Whole, will look to the unploughed ground within our hearts; the hardened places and hidden fears that resist the transforming love of God.
