Next weekend this group of people will undergo one of the most significant transformations of their lives.
On Sunday 2 December, they will make the shift from Eva Burrows College Officer Formation Stream cadets to fully commissioned officers of The Salvation Army.
They have either spent their training as part of the Messengers of Compassion session in Melbourne or
Their studies have been across all three areas of their required training: Educational and Theological Formation; Ministry and Missional Formation; and Personal and Spiritual Formation.
Their big moment will take place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, on the penultimate day of the week-long Still Others celebration to mark the official recognition of The Salvation Army Australia Territory.
Adding significance to the occasion for the cadets, the commissioning ceremony will involve General Brian Peddle, the world leader of The Salvation Army who with his wife, Commissioner Rosalie Peddle, are the special guests for Still Others.
