Salvation Army

IN 1865, WILLIAM BOOTH SPENT HIS DAYS AND NIGHTS preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to the poor, the homeless, the hungry and the destitute people of London, England. In his attempt to gain these people, Booth challenged the accepted concept of church and took his preaching to the streets. Booth traveled throughout England conducting evangelistic meetings. Booth's services were an instant success. He speedily became well recognised as a religious leader throughout London and attracted followers who were committed to fighting for the souls of women and men.
