Salvation Army Commissions Thirty New Officers to 'tell the Good News'

Thirty new Salvation Army officers (ministers) were commissioned in a service at packed Methodist Central Hall over the weekend.

The historic venue in the heart of London acknowledged and celebrated God's calling and ordination of the 30 members of the 'Heralds Of The Good News' Session, who have been in training at The Salvation Army's William Booth College for the last two years.

The Saturday afternoon congregation were welcomed in Portuguese and English - recognising that the session included cadets from Portugal as well as the UK.
