2025 Welcome of Cadets: Proclaimers of Transformation – This is Our Story

Welcome of Cadets - Saturday, August 9, 7:00 PM "Proclaimers of Transformation - This is Our Story" Join us for this sacred celebration as The Salvation Army Southern Territory welcomes the newest session of cadets - the "Proclaimers of Transformation" - to the Evangeline Booth College. This powerful ceremony marks the beginning of their journey toward officership and their calling to proclaim the transforming power of Jesus Christ to a world longing for hope. About the Session: Twenty committed men and women from across the Southern Territory have answered God's call to full-time ministry. Representing diverse backgrounds and experiences, they include first-generation Salvationists, corps cadet graduates, and children of soldiers and officers. With an average conversion age of 18 and average age of 30, they bring families totaling nine children to the EBC campus. Conference Theme: Kingdom Living: Awaken Hope - This ceremony celebrates those called to proclaim transformation, understanding that in Christ, the old has gone and the new has come (2 Corinthians 5:17). Scripture Focus: 2 Corinthians 5:17-20 - "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation." General Lyndon Buckingham delivers a compelling message about being "mat carriers for Jesus," drawing from Luke 5 and the story of four friends who brought their paralyzed friend to Jesus. Using powerful imagery, he challenges The Salvation Army to be collaborators, innovators, and perseverers who will "tear holes in the roof" to bring people into the presence of Christ. The ceremony includes the presentation of the sacred session flag, representing blood and fire, and concludes with a stirring call to officership that sees multiple people respond to God's call to serve. Recorded live at Lake Junaluska Conference & Retreat Center, North Carolina, during the 73rd annual Southern Bible Conference hosted by The Salvation Army Southern Territory.
