Rick Remmers, secretario ejecutivo de la Unión de Columbia, aceptó un llamado a la División Norteamericana (NAD) para servir al lado del presidente G. Alexander Bryant como asistente del presidente.

“Después de semanas de consideración en oración, he sentido la dirección del Señor”, dice Remmers. "Terminaré la ronda de reuniones de otoño que se están llevando a cabo y haré la transición a fin de año".

El presidente de la Unión de Columbia, Dave Weigley, dice: “Ha sido un placer trabajar con Rick. Ha sido una verdadera bendición para nuestra unión y, aunque lo extrañaremos, creo que la división ha tomado una decisión acertada".

“Before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear” (Isa. 65:24, KJV).

It was 1979, and we had just completed a year in Osaka, Japan, as student missionaries from Oakwood College (Ala.). The last stipend had been received and was just enough to get my husband, Thomas, and me home to Richmond, Va. Our plan was to see parts of the world on our return trip that we might never visit again. We would spend two days each in Taiwan and Hong Kong, connecting to a flight into Washington, D.C., with a short bus ride to Richmond. Our traveling companion, Sandra, was also returning to the United States.

“Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine” (Isa. 43:1, NKJV).

As a child, I grew up in an Orthodox family in Romania. Every Sunday, we went to church, and we kept all the Orthodox holidays. On weekends and vacations, I stayed with my grandparents, as they only lived 11 miles away.

“When Jesus heard what had happened, He withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place” (Matt. 14:13, NIV).

Are you grieving today? This pain cuts to the core and is deeper than just a bad day. It’s bigger than a pint of ice cream or a walk around the block that can handle. Sadly, we may feel as though we must carry these emotions alone. It’s in these times that the support of loved ones, and even complete strangers, is so needed.
