Social ministry in Moldova Division resonates with the Call of William Booth: “While women cry, I will fight; While little children are starving, I will fight; While men go to prison, get out and then return to them again, I will fight; As long as there is at least one drunkard, as long as there is at least one poor lost girl on the streets, as long as there is at least one dark soul without the light of God, I will fight – I will fight to the very end!”
