Church’s Southern Asia President Crosses 10-Year Mark
For 10 years, Ron Watts has helped push leadership and infrastructure improvements as president of the Seventh-day Adventist Church’s Southern Asia region. He still doesn’t let anyone leave his office without a personal prayer. During his two terms the church has established new offices, schools and churches in the region, which includes Bhutan, India, the Maldives and Nepal. Additional training seminars and employee workshops have yielded better-equipped church workers in the area, church leaders said.
