New Leadership for New Impact
On September 25th the Board of Directors of MissionNext unanimously approved Robert Werntz to serve as the new President/CEO of the ministry.
Don Parrott has served as President/CEO since 2006, when it was organized as an approved non-profit organization, until the current time. One year ago Don communicated to the Board that he felt the ministry needed someone else to take it to the next level, voluntarily stepping down from the leadership level. The search team formed by the Board finalized their process last week by approving Robert Werntz as the new leader. Let us tell you a little bit about him and his wife, Joyce:
Robert and Joyce left a 20-year career in banking and have since served the Lord as Worship Pastor, Church Planters in Honduras, where they served for 12 years, and as missionary mobilizers for ReachGlobal (EFCA). Robert is an ordained pastor with the Evangelical Free Church of America. Robert and Joyce are both passionate about missionary mobilization and are excited and honored that the MissionNext family is trusting leadership to them for this next season. They look forward to helping a myriad of individuals and faith-based organizations fulfill the call God has placed on their lives, connecting those who are called to go with those who are called to send. Both are prayer warriors and understand that any fruit from their efforts will come from the Lord. They are blessed to live in northern Illinois, near their three sons and four granddaughters.
"As a Board we are pleased with God's provision of Robert as the next leader for MissionNext," states Kathy Hicks, chairman of the board. "The process has been careful, purposed, and prayerfully executed. We are unanimous in our acceptance of Robert and greatly look forward to the continuing impact of MissionNext."
