Constantly growing in numerical strength and in its geographical presence, The Salvation Army has continued to meet human need on every continent while also functioning as a worldwide evangelical church.

This ninth volume of its official history tells of countless initiatives to reach the needy, of bold responses to natural and other disasters, and of the Christian motivation at the heart of every Salvationist endeavor. Each chapter carries the reader through another year of outreach undertaken by ordinary but deeply committed people. They do not always meet with unmitigated success, but they never give up!
