2020 Leadership Tour
Tamara Michalenko Terry
During 2020, Texas Conference of Seventh-day Adventists President Carlos J. Craig, suspended all conference-wide training events to enable office personnel to visit each of the 300 plus churches around the conference territory. “We pray the visits will be a blessing to your church congregations,” Craig stated.
Fourteen conference office leaders will join the president in visiting churches. They include: Executive Secretary David Montoya, Treasurer Randy Terry, Vice President for Communication & Public Relations Kenn Dixon, Vice President for Ministerial and Pastoral Development Nathan Krause, Vice President for Education Kisha Norris, Vice President for Hispanic Ministries & Spanish Evangelism Osvaldo Rigacci, Associate Director for Hispanic Ministries & Spanish Evangelism Ismael Castillo, Adventist Community Services Director Marshall Gonzales, Family Ministries Director Ruber Leal, Children’s Ministries Director Alexis Rivera, Field Secretary David Runnels, English Evangelism Director Dan Serns, Youth Director Paulo Tenorio and Young Adult Director Justin Yang.
Each one will work with their assigned churches to coordinate services such as Friday night vespers, Sabbath morning services or Sabbath afternoon workshops.
“We appreciate the churches working with office personnel to schedule these visits for 2020,” Craig added. “Conference-wide trainings will resume in 2021.”
Until then, if you have specific questions regarding your church responsibilities, please contact the appropriate department.
