Raise money for your
Salvation Army
fundraiser the easy way!
In 1865,
William Booth, an
ordained Methodist
minister, aided by his
wife Catherine, formed
an evangelical group
dedicated to preaching
among the ?unchurched?
people living in the
midst of appalling
poverty in London?s East
End. Booth?s ministry
recognized the
interdependence of
material, emotional and
spiritual needs. In
addition to preaching
the gospel of Jesus
Christ, Booth became
involved in the feeding
and shelter of the
hungry and homeless and
in rehabilitation of
alcoholics.
Booth and his followers,
originally known as The
Christian Mission,
became The Salvation
Army in 1878, when that
organization evolved on
a quasi-military
pattern. Booth became
?the General? and
officers? ranks were
given to his ministers.
The Salvation Amy has
functioned successfully
within that unusual
structure for more than
a century. As of 2005,
its outreach has been
expanded to include more
than 100 countries, and
the Gospel is preached
by its officers in more
than 160 languages.
