Greinke said he is both excited and challenged by the new position. I'm excited to be joining dedicated missionaries and national church leaders in responding to our Lord's challenge to witness our faith in Him to an ever-growing list of people groups in Africa and the Middle East.
Unprecedented opportunities exist in the fast-growing cities and among refugees.
Now is the time to equip leaders for our Lord's work while doors are still open. Dr. Glenn O'Shoney, BMS executive director, said that LCMS World Mission will benefit from Greinke's 25 years of missionary experience in Africa. Ken brings a wealth of experience to the position. Greinke began working in the position May 1.
