Forty cadets marched down the aisle to salute Commissioner Stanslous Mutewera, former Territorial Commander, as they entered training to become Salvation Army officers. Held at the Officers’ Training College, the event officially welcomed the cadets into the Witnesses for Christ Session.
Commissioner Mutewera also took the opportunity to officially install Captain Florence Pamacheche as the Training Principal. “This is the first time that a Zimbabwean woman has held this post,” he said. “Captain Pamacheche is a trained teacher and a faithful officer, and we know that she will be able to carry out the important tasks of this appointment.”
In her remarks, Captain Pamacheche challenged the cadets to work hard in their studies and to draw close to God at all times. “There will be tough times for you ahead,” she said, but by the grace of God you will make it through.” The Training Principal encouraged Salvationists to financially support the college. “We live in difficult times,” she said, “and we need our cadets to have adequate food and resources to carry out their training.”
In addition, Captain Pamacheche invited Salvationists to adopt a cadet for the duration of his/her training. All 40 of the cadets were adopted by Salvationists, who have committed to provide prayer and financial support for their cadets.
