William and Catherine Booth: Founders of the Salvation Army (Heroes of the Faith)

This husband and wife team founded the Salvation Army, which has provided spiritual guidance and physical aid to thousands over the past twelve decades. As a young preacher struggling with the ministry, William (1829-1912) found a perfect complement in Catherine (1829-1890). Ultimately, in 1865, they would establish a movement that became the Salvation Army, which William served as "general" until his death. Their vision and service to God have resulted in an organization that still serves mankind a century after their deaths.
