SFOT Library

Dear Friends,

We rejoice and give thanks to God for the weekend of the Ordination & Commissioning of the cadets of the Heralds of Grace. You will appreciate that part of the Spiritual Formation training included service within the SFOT campus. For two semesters the cadets undertook as their one year project a reorganizing of the SFOT library. This included physically cleaning the shelves, arranging the books, weeding & disposing the torn and worn-out books, cataloguing, labelling and sorting out new and donated second hand books, selecting excess books which are in good condition to stock the SFOT library in Yangon, Myanmar.

The library is now fully functional and is hosted on a cloud platform which you can access virtually from anywhere in the world with internet connection. The URL address is  https://sarmy.vlibonline.com . You can view our stock on the web. Our library collection has books on Biblical Studies, Theology, Christian History, Missions & Pastoral Theology, Leadership, and many others with a good range of Salvation Army authors and publications. There is also an up to date series on journals from Trinity Theological College and Church & Society in Asia Today written by Asian theologians and scholars.

The library is open for membership to all officers, Salvationists, congregational members and employees of TSA with a nominal fee of $10 for Singaporeans and RM10 for Malaysians per year. Retired officers and cadets can be members for free. Please write to Serene Lim to secure an application form and register as a member to perform loan activities and borrow books and resource materials. You will receive a membership guide and policy when you register.

Loan activities can be conducted online and your books will be delivered to your corps or centre via courier service or through your corps officer/centre manager.

For further information regarding the library please write to library_wbcm@smm.salvationarmy.org or contact 63495345.

Thank you and regards,


Lee Kong Yee
