Mercy Seat at William Booth College Biggest thing I miss about The Salvation Army? The Mercy Seat, without a doubt. Not only the Mercy Seat, but the culture of open response.

Back in 2004/2005 I made a couple of trips to Romania and Russia to encourage the work of The Salvation Army there. I met some wonderful young Salvationists, many of whom served the Lord with such passion, abandonment and dedication in spite of their own circumstances. One such young family are the Kozlovskys.
