Celebration at Auckland City Korean Corps

The Auckland City Korean Corps ended 2023 full of celebration with two significant ceremonies. A dedication ceremony was held on 26 November for three children—Daniel Kim, Sungio Lee and Hannah Choi—who are the youngest members of the church. This was a particularly special event as these children were born during the Covid-19 period and were not able to attend worship services during this time. They were welcomed by their church family.

On 10 December, a soldiership ceremony was held, with eight individuals choosing to become soldiers within The Salvation Army. Candidates prepared for soldiership for over a year, undertaking Bible study on the book of Matthew and volunteering within the corps. A special prayer time was held during the ceremony where Major Steven Lim read Scripture from Acts 1:4–5 that talks about being baptised by the Holy Spirit. The congregation congratulated and blessed these new soldiers in their journey as new Salvationists.
