Dear friends:

It is my privilege to share with you information regarding international appointments and promotions proposed by the International Appointments Board and agreed by the General.

The communication from IHQ below outlines international appointments that impact the Canada and Bermuda territory. We would want to express our appreciation to Colonel Diaz for her partnership in the Gospel in her appointment as Chief Secretary for the Canada and Bermuda territory for these last two years.  She has been an integral part of the leadership of the territory as we have navigated through COVID realities and the Mobilize 2.0 program.  We pray God’s continued blessing upon her in these days of transition and as she assumes her new appointment in her home territory as Territorial Commander. 

We look forward to welcoming to the leadership of the territory Lt-Colonels John and Lani Chamness as Chief Secretary and Territorial Secretary for Women’s Ministries.  

We know you will join with us in prayerful support as Colonel Diaz and Lt-Colonels Chamness prepare for their new responsibilities.  May they know the presence and provision of God for this season in their officership.
