Farewell to Norm!
The International Office had a fun farewell party this past week to celebrate Norm Poehlke and the ten years he has served the North American Baptist family! God has truly blessed the NAB this past decade through Norm’s leadership overseeing Ministry Outreach and International Missions. Though we are sad to see him leave, we send him with many prayers and blessings; we know God is moving in his life as he enters a new season of family and ministry. Please join us in prayer for Norm and Melissa as they transition. We look forward to seeing them at Triennial in July!
Thanks for your years of service and ministry, Norm!
