Henry

The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) has a new director. He is Pastor Wenford Henry who will assume the position today. His election took place at the mid-year meeting of the executive committee of the West Indies Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, held last month at the Union headquarters in Mandeville, Jamaica.

Henry replaces Pastor Desmond Robinson who had been serving as ADRA Director since January 1, 2006.

Humility

"It is with humility that I accept this call to serve as director of ADRA in West Indies Union Conference," said Pastor Henry.

Henry was born in Ballard's River, Clarendon. He attended Northern Caribbean University (formerly West Indies College) from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Theology in 1987. In 2005, he graduated from the Inter-America Theological Seminary with a master's degree in pastoral theology.

ADRA-Jamaica is a part of one of the largest humanitarian organisations in the world, ADRA International, which is active in more than 125 countries.
