Chicago Escorts: Salvation Army much bigger than red kettles

Daniel started the basketball program in the new gym, hoping to meet the physical and spiritual needs in the neighborhood. There’s no trash talk during games at the Salvation Army, he said. When a couple of regular players uses language that would not be acceptable in church, he had to usher them out.
“It’s not just about respecting the building and respecting God; it’s about respecting each other,” he said. “I’m hoping they will leave here with more than just a sweaty shirt.”
Daniel expects the two players to return, hopefully better for the experience.
Longtime church
The Salvation Army was started in 1852 by William Booth who walked the streets of London preaching the Gospel and seeking converts to Christianity among thieves, prostitutes, gamblers and drunkards.
But you don’t have to be a thief, prostitute, gambler or drunkard to be part of the Salvation Army.
