May 2007 SOUTHERN May 2007 SOUTHERN Spreading Tidings of the Southern Union Adventist Family An6 Redeeming Act Schools of ... Redeeming Unity Kids 20 An Encounter With God 27 Tornadoes Impact Church Members Vantage Point Southern Union Executive Secretary Elected For the past 25 years, Ward Sumpter has served as executive secretary of the Southern Union. For five years prior to that he was associate secretary. Ward and Mary Sumpter are loving and lovable Christians who have exemplified joyful ministry in their work with the saints. When Elder Sumpter smiles you know he’s in love with Jesus and wants to see how he can be helpful in solving some problem. I have personally appreciated Elder Sumpter’s wealth of wisdom as we have counseled on many issues. Cheryl and I have enjoyed our friend- ship with the Sumpters, and we will greatly miss them. Elder Sumpter is a fair leader and a caring leader. He is a willing servant and a humble leader. He is broad-minded and knows how to focus on the mission Ward and Mary Sumpter of the Church. He is a leader with a pastor’s heart. And while we sometimes joke about how many cousins Elder Sumpter has, what I be- lieve is that thousands of members would count it an honor to claim him as part of the family. Ward and Mary, thank you for faithful service, and thank you for doing everything with smiles on your faces. The Southern Union Executive Committee voted unanimously to invite Ron Smith, D.Min., Ph.D., to become the next executive secretary of the Southern Union on March 29. For the past eight years, Dr. Smith has been the editor-in-chief of Message Magazine and a vice-president for the Review and Herald Publishing Association. He has pastored in the Southern California Conference, as well as in the Northeastern Conference, where he was pastor of the large Ephesus church in Harlem, New York. The Lord has given Dr. Smith a keen and inquiring mind. He has a B.A. from Oakwood College, an M.Div. from Andrews University, a D.Min. from Colgate Roch- ester Divinity School, and a Ph.D. in psychology from Fuller. He is quick to add that, Gordon Retzer all of this is worthless without the anointing of the Holy Spirit and a broken heart that Southern Union leans on Jesus. He shared with me that, “It’s not about what I do, but about what President Jesus does, that matters.” Ron has been married to Yolanda D. Lewis for nearly 28 years. She grew up in the South Central Conference in Montgomery, Alabama; she is an elementary educator. The Smiths have one daughter who is an elementary education graduate of Oakwood College, and one son who is a theology major at Oakwood College. As I have rubbed shoulders with Dr. Smith through the years, I have known him as a spiritual leader, a gifted preacher and writer, a sound thinker, and a man who knows the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. Please join me in welcoming Ron and Yolanda Smith and their adult children to the great Southern Union family. I believe you will enjoy their leadership, and I believe God will anoint and equip them now for Ron and Yolanda Smith this new leadership role. 2 T I D I N G S • M a y 2 0 0 7 SOUTHERN Contents Volume 101, No. 5, May 2007 The Southern Tidings is the Official FEATURES Publication of the Southern Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists SOUTHERN UNION CONFERENCE EVANGELISM COUNCIL: 3978 Memorial Drive • Mail Address P.O.
