Hi everyone,
I am delighted to share that Colonels John and Lani Chamness have now been granted their visas, and we expect them to arrive in Australia in early January. This is an answer to prayer, and we thank God for His perfect timing and provision.
Until their arrival, John and Lani continue to serve remotely in their appointments: Colonel John Chamness as Chief Secretary and Colonel Lani Chamness as Territorial Secretary for Women’s Ministries and Territorial Secretary for Leader Development (Officers).
John and Lani bring a wealth of experience and a deep love for God and His mission.
Originally from the USA Western Territory, they most recently served in the Canada and Bermuda Territory. John is passionate about the outdoors, and Lani is a gifted musician and writer who loves playing guitar, composing music and poetry, and capturing beauty through photography. If you missed it, you can see a short welcome message from them here.
As we look forward to their arrival, let us continue to uphold them in prayer. We believe this new season will be marked by fresh vision and renewed strength. As Isaiah 43:19 reminds us: “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”
Thank you for your grace and support as we prepare for this exciting new chapter together.
Bless you each,

Commissioner Miriam Gluyas Territorial Commander
