Introduction In 1893 William Booth penned the words of Boundless Salvation especially for the ‘Boundless Salvation Campaign’ held at Exeter Hall in London. The song describes how a wave of salvation, seemingly boundless rushed over the founder. In reality William Booth was watching that wave cross the globe. The Salvation Army, by the time he wrote the song, was already in at work 23 countries spreading all the continents and was expanding very quickly, not only in the countries it worked in, but also in the type of mission it was involved in.

Mission is something we talk a lot about as Christians: Particularly within The Salvation Army where mission is a frequently use word. This month’s cell material is going to look at some of the mission that is happening around the United Kingdom. These stories can inspire us; they teach us and often they challenge us. As we look at three types of mission we will get closer and closer to finding out how we ourselves are called to mission. In the final week we will consider this more closely, how can we be missionaries to our generation?
