Roy Fish named as NAMB ‘ambassador’

ALPHARETTA, Ga. — In one of his first actions as the North American Mission Board’s (NAMB) new president, Geoff Hammond appointed Roy Fish — the board’s interim president for the past year —- as ambassador-at-large. "Generations of Southern Baptists have been stirred to share Christ through the godly influence of Dr. Fish," Hammond said, "and we are honored to continue to have him on the NAMB team."

Hammond said Fish will speak in churches and at NAMB events representing the president’s office. Fish, a longtime evangelism professor at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, had Hammond as one of his students. "I look forward to representing Geoff and the board when he is unable to perform some duty because he’s terribly busy or for any other reason. I want to be there and stand in his stead," Fish said.
