After five years serving as president of Send Relief, Bryant Wright is set to retire at the end of March.
“I am so thankful for the opportunity to steward Send Relief as we sought to extend the ministry’s reach these last several years, going from a national compassion ministry to an international one,” Wright said. “I feel my calling with Send Relief at this stage of my life has been to help the ministry to get up and running. Thankfully God has allowed that to happen.”
He led the organization as the SBC’s two missions agencies, the International Mission Board and the North American Mission Board, came together to establish an international reach for Send Relief after it initially started with a focus on compassion ministry in North America.
“Bryant helped launch the Send Relief partnership between NAMB and the IMB in a great way,” said IMB President Paul Chitwood. “He rallied Southern Baptists for compassion ministry and opportunities for Gospel proclamation around the world, including the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East as well as the devastating earthquake in Turkey.”
