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.
