One in, one out

This weekend the Doulos board of Directors are in town for the regularly scheduled quarterly forum. Despite the shifting nature of Shelterwood lately, the board is comprised of an incredible group of men dedicated to fulfilling and supporting the mission of Doulos. Two weeks ago, the board made a decision on a new Chief Executive Officer. The new overall leader, and face of the ministry, will arrive on campus in early October, just before the Girls Fall Family Weekend. From what I've been told, the CEO (Jim), is a solid guy with vision for the future and an appreciation of the rich heritage started by Richard Beach and carried on by so many others.

In some other surprising news, the current Shelterwood Director has left the ministry. She spent 6 weeks with Doulos and her husband was one of three candidates for the CEO position. As you probably suspect, Jim is not her husband meaning he didn't get the job. A week ago Friday was her last day. It surprised quite a few folks, but interim CEO and Marketing Director John DeVries and done a fantastic job holding the campus together and moving forward with confidence. John was the Shelterwood Director in Denver for a number of years and worked directly with our beloved Josh Emery.

It goes to show that God is sovereign regardless of who comes and goes. Your prayers are highly valued. I appreciate your faithful support of Doulos Ministries.
