    Research on Humanities and Social Sciences www.iiste.org ISSN (Paper)2224-5766 ISSN (Online)2225-0484 (Online) Vol.6, No.14, 2016 The Coming and Spread of the Salvation Army in Ghana: 1922- 2012 Evang. Isaac Boapeah Central University College Abstract The Salvations Army is a Christian denomination and a charitable organization which started in 1865 in East London by the Rev. William Booth and his wife Mrs. Catherine Booth who broke away from the Methodist Church. The Army works with a philosophy that “heart to God and hands to man”. It also uses military titles. In Ghana, the Salvation Army has health centres and educational institutions. The Army has its presence in 126 countries as of today. The Army got established in Ghana in 1922 through King Hudson. This work looks at how it has spread throughout Ghana. Introduction The Salvation Army is a Christian church denomination and a charitable organization with the philosophy that; ‘heart to God and hand to man’. The Salvation Army in Ghana is a member of the Christian council of Ghana. This work looks at how The Salvation Army (The Army) came to Ghana, then Gold Coast, and has spread to all the ten political regions in Ghana. It briefly looks at the establishment of the Army in London before it came to Ghana. This study also briefly throws some light on the religious setting within which the Army flourished in Ghana. This is considered because one of the factors that makes a crop to do well include the very land on which it is planted.
