Commissioning weekend

A flurry of activity consumed the cadets of the Preparers of the Way Session as they polished off last minute tasks before their big day. Following two years of flexible training (group classes in Moscow combined with service in their own individual corps back home) the Preparers would soon become Captains in The Salvation Army, one couple in Poland. The other captins would spread themselves throughout Romania, Georgia, Russia, Ukraine, and Moldova.

A full day of worship and reflection was given to signing personal covenants of service as future officers. Many responded to the messages of our Territorial leaders by praying at a makeshift altar in the meetings' rented hall.

Members of the USA South Summer Service Team played in the small but spirited brass band which marched cadets up to the platform and into their futures of ministry and witness for Jesus Christ.
