| Rodney (Gypsy) Smith was born in a tent, raised on a
Gypsy camp, never attended a school - not even for a day! - Yet he influenced
the lives of millions of people for God through his powerful preaching.
He was converted in 1876 and, the next year, was invited by General William
Booth to join him in evangelistic work. He served as an officer with the
Salvation Army until 1882. He then began ministering as an itinerant evangelist
working with a variety of organisations all over the world, but particularly
in Britain and America. ‘Gypsy’ was a very zealous and successful
evangelist whose ministry occasionally experienced revival power. |
