“I AM FOR THE WORLD’S SALVATION, I WILL

QUARREL WITH NO MEANS THAT PROMISES HELP.”

  Refusing to be limited by tradition, William and Catherine

Booth set out in 1861 to take the gospel to whomever would

listen. Using street meetings, parades, marching bands, and

posters, the Booths and their followers attracted people who

felt unwelcomed by traditional churches. Eventually called The

Salvation Army, William and Catherine’s ministry touched the

poor, the destitute, and the addicted with the love of Christ.

  Fiercely dedicated to obeying God’s leading, neither William

nor Catherine was swayed by the opposition of political

or religious leaders. The determined work begun by this

innovative couple continues to change lives to this day.
