Title: I will fight to the very end. Will You?
Topic: Salvation Army
Discussed by Bill Federer
with American Minute (www.AmericanMinute.com)
Part 1 of 4
William Booth, Founder of the Salvation Army, once wrote:
"While women weep, as they do now, I'll fight.
While little children go hungry, I'll fight.
While men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I'll fight.
While there is a drunkard left,
While there is a poor lost girl upon the streets,
Where there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight!
I'll fight to the very end!"
Millions of people in over 118 countries are being helped today because of one man and his wife. Bill Federer is our resident historical expert and today discusses the positive impact William Booth and his wife, Catherine, have had on the world and the kingdom.
When he was only thirteen years old, William Booth was an apprentice to a pawn broker in England. That is where he first became aware of the tragic need many people had for basic essentials. After he became a Christian, he studied many preachers and sermons centering on helping the needy. When he and Catherine married years later, they founded “The Christian Mission”.
While the Booths were ministering to the needy in England through their mission, they realized that one of the biggest crimes being committed was sex trafficking and teenage prostitution. “They made it their goal to end this terrible practice,” Bill comments. In fact, they even arranged to “buy” one of the young girls in order to give her a better life. However, their plan backfired and trouble arose. Listen in as Bill shares the rest of the story!
Catherine Booth once said: "I felt as though I must go and walk the streets and besiege the dens where these hellish iniquities are going on. To keep quiet seemed like being a traitor to humanity."

Title: What is your impact for the kingdom?

Part 2 of 4
Currently, the Salvation Army has 81 mission stations worldwide with
127 full-time Evangelists and over 1,900 volunteers. The Salvation
Army holds a whopping 75,000 meetings per year!!
In 1884, the Booths established the first rescue home for girls who were stuck
in the sex-trafficking trade. Over the next thirty years, the number of homes
grew from 1 in only one city to 117 homes worldwide. In 1885, the Booths, along
with feminist and social reformer Josephine Butler, were able to pass England’s
Criminal Law Act of 1885, which raised the age of consent for sex. However, much
was still needed to be reformed as many of the laws only protected the very
young and extremely wealthy.
SHOCK FACT: Bill Federer makes a shocking statement about UN
Peacekeepers and sex trafficking. Seriously, you will be sick to your stomach
when you hear what he has to say!
On a happier note, Bill reveals how we have William and Catherine Booth to thank
for the matches of today. Yes, matches! It is an interesting, yet heartbreaking
story. Listen in!
William Booth received an honorary degree from Oxford University and had the
privilege to meet with the King of England, Winston Churchill, and Teddy
Roosevelt, whom he sent a powerful telegram in 1903:
"I am more than impressed with the greatness of the Nation at whose head you have been placed by the Providence of God. I pray that He may spare you all the wisdom needed... [editor’s note: I now pray to the maker of the universe for some of His spare wisdom and Spirit!]
....These kindly feelings which you are known to entertain towards those who
grow in misery and helplessness even in this greatly favored country...May the blessing of Him that maketh rich and addeth no sorrow be on the White House and the Nation it represents."

Part 3 of 4
In this third segment with Bill Federer, he concludes his discussion
about William and Catherine Booth and their amazing contributions to improving
the world. (In the fourth segment, Bill discusses Apollo 13,
prayer, unity, and God. Listen in!)
One memorable quote from William Booth is: "The chief danger of the 20th
century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ,
forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without
God, and Heaven without Hell." We are seeing this played out in public
squares all across the world, especially here in America concerning the
homosexual movement. Listen in as Bill speaks passionately on this issue, offers
more fantastic quotes by William Booth, and gives more encouragement from
various Presidents and other important figures who spoke highly of William and
his wife Catherine.
Booker T. Washington, the Founder of Tuskegee Institute, loved the
Salvation Army. On July 28, 1896, Washington wrote: "I have always had
the greatest respect for the work of The Salvation Army especially because I
have noted that it draws no color line in religion...In reaching the neglected
and, I might say, outcasts of our people, I feel that your methods and work have
peculiar value...God bless you in all your unselfish Christian work for our
country." If that isn’t an endorsement of highest praise, I don’t know what is!
It’s about time we have another William Booth in the world again. Will it be you?

From high school football in Louisiana to college ball at the University of Houston, Robert Lavernge had the world by its tail until drugs grabbed him. At his bottom, his sister took him to the Salvation Army with her check book and asked, "What does it cost for you to help my brother?" Their reply was simply his effort. He stayed 14 months as a client and now is a minister with the Salvation Army.

Purpose Driven Projects is the focus of the staff at the Houston office of the Salvation Army. Do you have room on your prayer list to pray for a bed, say bed #5 at Harbor Light? You may not know the name of the man that sleeps in bed #5 - but God does. Could your Sunday school class or Bible study or church adobt a program for the next 12 months as an outreach project? The possibilites are endless - the rewards are out of this world!
