IGLEHEARTS INSTALLED AS TERRITORIAL LEADERS B Y LT. C O L O N E L A L L E N S AT T E R L E E An air of excitement filled the Atlanta Temple Corps on September 10 as the territory welcomed new territorial leaders as well as the Defenders of Justice session of cadets (see accompanying story). The meeting had the feeling of a homecoming as Commissioners Kelly and Donna Igleheart were welcomed back following their absence of seven years when they served in the Southern Africa Territory and the USA Western Territory. The installation ceremony was conducted by past USA Southern Territorial Commander and USA National Commander, Commissioner David Jeffrey. “If you were advertising for a territorial commander, what would be in the ad? We’re looking for someone who is close to God. Someone who is in love with Jesus and follows Him. We would be looking for people who have a passion for the gospel and a passion for souls. We’re looking for people who love people more than they love their position. We are looking for people who are deeply passionate about Salvationism and believe that God raised up The Salvation Army and that it is God and God alone who sustains The Salvation Army. We are looking for people who have a good family life and a good marriage and serve as role models for these. We have found these. “Let our hearts reach out to God to lift them up to heaven. The task is not small. It is strewn with the unexpected. They need our love, support, and prayers. Whisper their names to God in your prayers.” Following Jeffrey’s remarks, the Iglehearts

Following the installation, Territorial Sergeant-Major Jeremy Rowland challenged the Iglehearts on behalf of the soldiers of the territory. Based on the Shama found in Deuteronomy 6:5-6,
Rowland issued three challenges: “First, listen to the Lord. Allow His words to sink in and generate your response. Listen to God’s voice alone. “Second, respond to what the Lord is telling you. Hearing and doing mean the same thing. We “Iglehearts Installed...” continued on page 2

BY BR AD ROWL AND The USA Southern Territory publicly welcomed the Defenders of Justice session of cadets on Saturday, September 10 at the Atlanta Temple Corps. The welcome stood alongside the installation of new territorial leaders, Commissioners Kelly and Donna Igleheart (see accompanying story), with a warm greeting for 14 individuals with a burgeoning commitment to officership. “Today is a very special reason to be able to celebrate,” said Colonel Ralph Bukiewicz, chief secretary. “God always provides leaders for His church, and today we are going to be celebrating a whole variety of leaders. We are going to be celebrating and welcoming those who are training to become spiritual leaders who will eventually serve in a corps, a community, an area, a division, and within the territory.” The 14 cadets of the Defenders of Justice session bring with them five children. Nine are first-generation Salvationists, with an average age of 36 and an age range of 24-57. They bring varied backgrounds, including degrees of higher education in fields including social work, psychology, sociology, and business. Captain Jervonne Hinton, territorial candidates secretary, expressed the excitement of the territory in welcoming the
