‘Until All Have Heard’ – Timeless Goal, New Leadership

As we enter a new chapter in our leadership journey, we are reminded of the words in Isaiah 43:19: "See, I am doing a new thing!" We trust that God is at work in this season of transition. May our new CEO, Richard Langmead be guided by divine wisdom, as encouraged in James 3:17, and lead with the strength and courage exemplified in Joshua 1:9. Let us pray that he settles in smoothly and leads in the way God has called him to, with clarity, grace, and purpose.

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

Isaiah 43:18-19
