PASTOR GENERAL'S REPORT, JULY 22, 1986
the set in the 1986 "Behind the Work" production at the Feast of
Tabernacles.
As preparations for the new academic year get under way at our
Pasadena and Big Sandy campuses, I have announced several deeisions
regarding the administrative personnel in Big Sandy. First, I have
reassigned Mr. Leslie McCullough from his responsibilities as Big Sandy
Deputy Chancellor to the job of Regional Director of God's Work in South
Africa.
Besides a strong business and admini'
strative sense, Mr.
McCullough has a great deal of international experience and previous
experience as a Regional Director in Canada. He has visited South Africa
a number of times and spent the Feast of Tabernacles there last year.
Dr. Roy McCarthy, Mr. Larry Salyer and I feel he will do an excellent job
as Regional Director in South Africa.
(We have not yet finalized Dr.
McCarthy's assignment.)
To replace Mr. McCullough, I have appointed Dr. Roderick
c.
Meredith
of the Pasadena faculty as Deputy Chancellor in Big Sandy.
As many of
you know, Dr. Meredith has served in the past as Deputy Chancellor at
each of our campuses in Pasadena and Bricket Wood. He will be the only
man to have served as Deputy Chancellor at all three Ambassador campuses.
As you know, when Mr. Larry Salyer was transferred to Pasadena to
become Director of Church Administration last February, the position of
Dean of Students in Big Sandy was left vacant. I have decided to appoint
Mr. Richard Thompson of the Big Sandy faculty to that responsibility.
Mr. Thompson has served for three years as head of the speech and
journalism departments and instructor in theology. He also assisted Mr.
Salyer with a good portion of the student counseling load. Formerly, Mr.
Thompson served as a church pastor and Festival Coordinator.
I am
confident that he will make an outstanding Dean of Students. Both Dr.
Meredith and Mr. Thompson are extremely enthusiastic about their new
responsibilities in the college and anxious to get started. Please pray
for each of these men and their wives as they begin their new jobs. Mr.
McCullough will be in a critical and delicate region and will need God's
wisdom, strength and encouragement. Dr. Meredith and Mr. Thompson, along
with Dr. Donald Ward, who remains as Big Sandy Dean of Faculty, need
God's guidance working with the future pillars and leaders in God's
Church and the pioneers of the world tomorrow.
Finally this time, I· completed last week the taping of the opening
night message for this year's Feast of Tabernacles. The taping was done
right in my office.
Of course, one can• t prepare and deliver such a
message without getting excited about the Feast!
Please be praying for
me as I prepare for the taping of the Last Great Day message.
Thank you for your faithfulness and loyal support. Your prayers and
encouragement are much needed and much appreciated.
With love, in Christ's service,
