William Booth (1829-1912)
William rushed into the house. “I have found my destiny!” he shouted. “I found a place where human misery is so great in such a small place that I could work there all my life!”
In England of the industrial era, horrified to see the conditions in which the poor lived, and the suffering they endured to the indifference of the majority of the population, William Booth dedicated his life to announcing the Gospel to the marginalized who would never have entered a church on their own and who were not welcome there. At the age of fifteen, William decided to give "his whole being to God", and to let neither the opposition of the church and the government, nor the lack of financial support, nor the violent attacks of crowds in anger prevent him from spreading the light of the Gospel in the streets of England.
Today, the Salvation Army founded by William Booth operates thousands of evangelistic social establishments around the world, transforming many lives through the love of God and the strength of the convictions of its members. members.
