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.
