The Salvation Army Bible Correspondence

Courses

The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the

universal Christian church. Its message is based on the Bible. Its ministry is motivated by the love of God. Its mission is to preach

the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without

discrimination

Mission Statement

There are at least two good reasons Why Salvationists are concerned with people in prison and their families. One, it is the expectation of our Lord Jesus Christ; and two, it was the vision of our founder. William Booth, had a deep sympathy and Compassion for people paying the penalty for law violation by serving time in prison. In his book, In Darkest England and the Way Out he proposed methods whereby prisoners might be helped and brought to knowledge of God's salvation. Near the end of his own ministry, he continued this emphasis on helping the most desperate:

"While women weep as they do now, I'll fight;

While little children go hungry as they do now, I'll fight,

While men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I'll fight

I'll fight to the very end!"
