The filthy back streets of London's East End in the Victorian era

were home to every imaginable crime, vice and horror. Many thousands

lived there without Christ and without hope, and no one seemed to care.

But William Booth did care.

In 1865 Booth began a mission which took the Gospel to these people.

It became The Salvation Army and changed the lives of many thousands as

it spread throughout London, Britain and the world, preaching a Gospel

of redemption and holiness.
