“What a privilege you have offered me. I am grateful and excited to see what the Lord will do through SAT-7. I am deeply inspired by our vision ‘to see a growing Church in the Middle East and North Africa, confident in Christian faith and witness, serving the community and contributing to the good of society and culture.’ I look forward to meeting each of our workers and partners. You have my commitment to listen well, to learn, to contribute to our spiritual formation, and to lead toward substantial growth and impact.”
