William E. Booth-Clibborn was a powerful evangelist from a powerful Christian family. He was a son of the famed Marechael of France and grandson and namesake of General William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army. His mother Catherine married Arthur Clibborn, and at the General's insistence, changed their name by deed poll to Booth-Clibborn. So successful was their work in France, that General Booth instructed them to return to London to help him there, but they decided to remain in Europe and won thousands to Christ in Switzerland and other countries. William Booth-Clibborn, one of their many children, was converted at the age of 12 and then conducted children's evangelistic campaigns at the age of 15 in Holland, Germany, Poland and Russia while his parent's preached to the adults. He preached in English, German and French (his native language). The family left the Salvation Army to advocate advanced truths and William Booth-Clibborn had a Pentecostal experience. He later trained at the Moody Bible Institute and evangelized in the U.S. and then worldwide. He spent over two years in Australia in the 1930s, where the legacy of his labors remain. He founded churches in Europe, Canada, Australia and the United States. He later settled in Portland, Oregon, where he founded Immanuel Temple, and died in 1969. His wife died in 1997 at the age of 98.
