On Aug. 12 the International Mission Board (IMB) named Mark MacDonald as the new vice president of marketing and communication.
On Aug. 26 the IMB announced MacDonald was not a good fit for the role and the organization would be going in a different direction with the vice president position.
The day before the Aug. 26 announcement, MacDonald had posted on Facebook about the decision:
“Keeping it real: IMB has withdrawn their job offer. An anonymous source informed IMB of an embarrassing failure from ~10 yrs ago (after which I finished a year restoration with my church). Out of an ABUNDANCE of caution, IMB didn’t want to proceed. Our future? Unclear,” he wrote. “WE KNOW: God wasn’t surprised by this, loves me with forgiving grace, and wants me to continue ministry (with 100% support from my church family and amazing wife). God is good, but this is difficult. Hebrews 11:8 — Still ❤️ IMB!” (TAB, BP)
