One Army - In Calling

Stylised A Since The Salvation Army’s earliest days, Salvationists have been convinced that God called it into being. The Army, as such, was not planned. It was not a scheme or strategy devised by any human being. It was a product of the Spirit of God moving in the hearts of his people 150 years ago. William Booth began his preaching and ministry in the East End of London in 1865, simply because he was convicted to do so. He felt the call of God on his life in such a powerful way that he was compelled to obey what he believed was God’s will.
