Month of May a season of enrolments around the NSW/ACT Division


Lieutenant-Colonel John Hodge conducts the enrolment of six senior soldiers at Hurstville Corps in Sydney on 19 May.

The month of May has been a time of multiple enrolments in the NSW/ACT Division, with several corps conducting ceremonies for new soldiers and adherents.

 

Corps that conducted enrolments of six or more members included Auburn and Hurstville/Campsie in Sydney and Queanbeyan in southern NSW.

 

Territorial Commander Commissioner Miriam Gluyas said it was exciting to hear of these enrolments and that the rally cry of ‘Jesus-centred, Spirit-led, hope revealed’ was being played out through people making commitments to serve Jesus through The Salvation Army.

 

“I can’t wait to see the unfolding plans of God in these people’s lives,” Miriam said.

Hurstville/Campsie enrolments Six senior soldiers were enrolled at Hurstville Corps on Sunday 16 May after a series of soldiership classes were held for members of both Hurstville and Campsie Corps’ Chinese-speaking community.


Lieutenant Beth Shao conducted Mandarin soldiership classes in March, and Lieutenant-Colonel John Hodge (Ret.) led English-speaking soldiership classes.

As a result, the corps was privileged and encouraged to witness the enrolment of six soldiers – Ailing, Derick, Mike, Wei, Xian and YinRui – with Derick and YinRui giving their testimonies.

 

This is the second time soldiers have been enrolled at Hurstville this year, with two new soldiers – Princess and Chris – enrolled in February.

“It was wonderful to see seven of our lovely community here make this special commitment in their lives.”
