Der finder løbende internationale forflytninger sted i Frelsens Hær. De seneste forflytninger fra det internationale hovedkvarter – der blandt andet berører kommandørerne Lisbeth og Henrik Andersen – oplyses herunder af Frelsens Hærs stabschef, kommandør Edward Hill.
Efter seks år i spidsen for Frelsens Hær i Schweiz, Østrig og Ungarn vender det danske officerspar tilbage til Skandinavien, hvor de til sommer tiltræder nye ordrer i henholdsvis det svenske og lettiske territorium samt ved det internationale hovedkvarter i London (IHK). Hun som territorialleder og han som konsulent for korps- og menighedsudvikling under IHK. Dermed vender de rent geografisk tilbage til det territorium, hvor de indtil for 20 år siden gennem seks år var regionale ledere i Letland.
Kommandørerne Henrik og Lisbeth Andersen har siden 2014 gjort tjeneste uden for landets grænser, men er er velkendte og afholdte blandt mange i Danmark. Herfra ønskes de Guds velsignelse over den forestående opbrudstid, ligesom alle opfordres til at omslutte dem i bøn for deres udgang og indgang.
Forflytningerne træder i kraft til juli og kan i lighed med andre internationale rokader læses (på engelsk) herunder.
