This DVD is the story of one couple's quest to take God's love to the poor and hurting. William Booth emerged from childhood poverty with a sense of God's call to be an evangelist. Illness and family tension marked Catherine Booth's childhood, but determined intelligence saw her become a popular preacher in an age when few women preached.
Together, under God's hand, this remarkable couple founded The Salvation Army. They innovated, took risks, released thousands of young people for front line mission, and went for the saddest cases. In the following years, God's Spirit brought hundreds of thousands into his Kingdom.
The Army expanded around the world, then took a huge step into social work. Next it campaigned for social justice, taking its case to Parliament at Westminster. And all the way William and Catherine Booth tried to be God's servants.
Our People tells their story. It is a gripping narrative of struggle, difficulty, love, and ultimate triumph.
