Australian Officers Serving in Canada: Captains Chris and Nichole Maxwell

For Captains Chris and Nichole Maxwell, two Salvation Army officers from Australia, moving to Canada was a leap of faith. They had never visited the country prior to moving here, they'd be bringing three young children with them, and it was in the middle of a pandemic. But trusting in God’s calling to overseas service has been an immense blessing for the Maxwells and for their church, Kingston Citadel in Ontario, where they have been corps officers since January 2022. On this episode, we talk about their calling; about some of the biggest and most surprising differences between The Salvation Army in Australia and Canada; and about their church’s process of rebuilding after Covid and how Kingston Citadel has a renewed vision and is thriving today.
