Annual General Change of Officers 2016

Appointments to take place in January 2016
Posted September 10, 2015

Each January, a number of Salvation Army officers relocate to other mission appointments around the New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga Territory.

The Chief Secretary today announced these new appointments, which are effective on Thursday 14 January 2016. 

Please pray for those who are affected by these changes: the officers who will be moving and any children, along with the corps (churches) and centres that will be receiving new officer personnel. May God bless The Salvation Army's mission.
