Every session of cadets has a sessional name which is shared by cadets all around the world. This name identifies their session, and the years they trained. In a public meeting, when the name of a session is mentioned, you may hear officers who trained in that session shout out “Hallelujah”. Every General is given the privilege of naming the next 5 sessions of cadets. If you click on the sessional photos below you will be able to see individual pictures and profiles of our cadets.
Prayer Warriors (2008-2010):
Here is a name in keeping with the great need of our time. Prayer is the Army’s spiritual engine and the need for those who will be constant and persistent in prayer is as urgent as ever it was. Prayer is a vital weapon in the Salvation War, a war we pursue without guns, and led by the Prince of Peace. The word ‘Prayer’ has not previously featured in any sessional name, although we recall with gratitude the ‘Intercessors’ of 1951 – 1952, and the ‘Faithful Intercessors’ of 1997 – 1999. We thank God also for the ‘Warriors’ of 1946 – 1947.
Ambassadors of Holiness (2009-2011)
This name brings into focus the holiness teaching which is such a key part of the Army’s mission and identity. It reminds us of the need for every officer to understand, to teach, and to exemplify the truths expressed in our Tenth Doctrine. While ‘Ambassadors’ has been part of three earlier sessional names, this is the first time that a sessional name has included ‘Holiness’.
