Three Alabama Baptists have taken on new roles with the North American Mission Board (NAMB).
• Kathy Ferguson Litton is the new national director of ministry to pastors’ wives. Litton will be working with NAMB’s leadership development team in the area of support and encouragement for ministers’ wives.
“I’m grateful and humbled that God would call me to this task,” Litton said. “And thankful that NAMB would extend to me this opportunity. I definitely have a passion for pouring into ministers’ wives and seeing them step into their calling with passion, freedom and purpose.
“Ultimately this role is about advancing the gospel,” Litton said. “It’s about helping ministers and their families be effective in their ministry.”
Litton, wife of Ed Litton, senior pastor of First Baptist Church, North Mobile, in Saraland, said she looks forward to the challenge of helping NAMB minister to and get resources into the hands of ministers’ wives on a national level in the areas of encouragement, leadership and crisis care as well as the areas of education and spiritual formation.
Litton served as director of women’s ministries for four years at Cross Church at Pinnacle Hills, Rogers, Ark., during which time she traveled extensively, speaking to women, teaching and encouraging pastors’ wives and training leaders.
Litton was married to Rick Ferguson, former pastor of Riverside Baptist Church, Denver, until his death in 2002.
In 2009, she married Ed Litton, who lost his spouse in an automobile accident in 2007.
• Stan Albright was recently named national director for associations. In his new position, Albright is NAMB’s principal interface, connecting and coordinating the mission board with state directors of missions and associational directors of missions across North America.
He is coming to NAMB following a five-year role as state director of missions and missions mobilization team leader for the Baptist Convention of New Mexico.
The Alabama native previously served as associate executive director of the Northwest Baptist Convention; associate director of missions for Calhoun Baptist Association and a minister of education and evangelism in several Anniston churches; associate pastor of evangelism and missions at NorthPark Baptist Church, Trussville;
and in several other ministry positions.
• Micah Millican is joining NAMB’s staff as director of church planter relations after serving as pastor for middle school, high school and college students at Westwood Baptist Church, Alabaster.
In his new position, Millican will be NAMB’s “pastor” to its church planters — “investing in them, resourcing them and helping them develop a network among each other,” said NAMB President Kevin Ezell. (BP)
