Salvation Army in London, he went
To England to meet William Booth,
The founder of the Salvation Army.
He faced opposition from his family
To leave his high social status
And join the Salvation Army. On the other
Hand, William Booth kept him on wait
To see how committed he was.
However, this undeterred servant of God
Finally came to India in 1882
On behalf of the Salvation Army.

In his ministry. He wore saffron robes,
And renamed himself as ‘Fakir Singh’.

To keep good relations with upper-class
Indians. Frederick's preaching of equality
And salvation won many souls
For Christ.

To look after the ministry in India
And Ceylon. He worked among the criminal
Tribes of India till his return

In the Salvation Army, he continued
To conduct campaigns in Europe.

Instrumental in establishing the Salvation
Army in India, went to his heavenly abode
In 1929.
Beloved, are you ready to leave the
Comfortable life to serve your God?
