WELCOME NEW ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR FOR NAD MINISTERIAL
New NAD Ministerial Associate joins to help focus on Women Clergy

Brenda Evril Langford Billingy
joins the North American Division team as an associate director for the NAD Ministerial Department.  Billingy joins the NAD Ministerial Team with mission and focus to serve women clergy, and to support and mentor younger women called by God to be pastors in the North American Division.  Billingy replaces Esther Knott who transitioned as a full-time NAD Ministerial Associate and Director of the InMinistry Center at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University.

Pastor Billingy was born on the Island of Trinidad, West Indies - the youngest of eight children born to Gladys and Lenny Langford.  She received a pre-professional degree from Caribbean Union College at 18 years of age and then migrated to the United States where she completed her B.A. degree in Phychology from Columbia Union College and a M.A. degree in Education from Howard University. 

In 1995 Brenda was ordained as a local Elder and her life began to change dramatically.  Serving in that capacity allowed her to discover the special gifts that God has graciously bestowed upon her - especially the gift of speech, counseling and encouragement.  It was then that she made a promise to the Lord that when her children were enrolled in College she would devote all of her time and attention to His purpose for her life.

Secrets To A Thriving Church
presented by Dr. Joseph Kidder.

How did the early Christians leave such a profound impact on their world? And how can we, 2,000 years later, follow in their footsteps?

The Big Four thoroughly explores four key secrets that not only made the early church a success but also produced thriving Seventh-day Adventist churches that are rapidly growing the kingdom of heaven.

No matter who you are, The Big Four's inspiring stories and practical, proven methods will equip you to experience personal and collective revival, ultimately leading to powerful ministry and evangelism.
