Despite several delays due to travel and social distancing restrictions amidst the Covid-19 crisis, members of the Ohio Conference Presidential Selection Committee voted overwhelmingly to extend a call to Bob Cundiff to be president of the Ohio Conference.
“I’m excited for Ohio in calling Bob Cundiff. He brings a deep passion for soul-winning and engaging young adults in the mission of the church,” says Dave Weigley, Columbia Union president and chairman of the Selection Committee.
Le Comité Exécutif de la Fédération de l'Ohio a récemment nommé Roy M. Simpson comme le nouveau trésorier de la fédération.
Mr Simpson a su très tôt qu'il voulait servir l'Église Adventiste du Septième Jour, mais pas en tant que pasteur comme son père, mais spécifiquement dans le domaine des finances. Afin d'acquérir l'expérience qu'il savait nécessaire, il s'est porté volontaire à l'âge de 16 ans en tant que caissier au Département du Trésor de la Fédération locale de l’Honduras Atlantique. Là, il a travaillé en étroite collaboration avec le comptable et le trésorier, qui étaient disposés à le former et à travailler avec lui, afin de lui permettre d'apprendre comment fonctionne une fédération.
