IMB search committee seeks recommendations

RICHMOND, Va. — A team of International Mission Board (IMB) trustees met Oct. 6 in Richmond, Va., and announced they will begin accepting recommendations to bolster their search for the IMB’s next president. The 15-member search committee was appointed in September following Jerry Rankin’s announcement that he will retire as IMB president in July 2010. Jimmy Pritchard, senior pastor of First Baptist Church, Forney, Texas, is chairing the committee with Norman Coe, associate pastor of Highview Baptist Church, Louisville, Ky., as vice chairman. Recommendations can be sent to imbpresident@fbcforney.org or to P.O. Box 97, Forney, TX 75126. The deadline for submissions is Dec. 31.
