New York — The American Bible Society (ABS) has named a new president, Roy Peterson, who will begin his duties in February at the New York-based ministry.
Peterson currently is president and CEO of The Seed Company, a ministry based in Arlington, Texas, that has been a catalyst for 800 Bible translation projects/partnerships worldwide by organizations, groups and individuals since its launch in 1993 by Wycliffe Bible Translators.
