CSSM National Office was once again without leadership due to the resignation of Scott Kelusky. In view of the seriousness and urgency of this new situation the National Executive (NE), with input from various National Council members, extended the invitation to NE member Don Collins to become National Director of CSSM. After a good week of consideration and deliberation by Don and his wife Lois, and prayer by all of us, Don advised on March 12 that he is willing and prepared to take on the position of National Director for CSSM Ministries. Naturally, we are very pleased with this news. In Scripture my mind is pulled toward the book of Esther and the well known phrase “for such a time as this” (Esther 4:14). So often I have asked the Lord “what now, Lord?” and every time He has provided and shown direction. For Such a Time as This, considering the times we live in and the collective task at hand, it is important to have leadership. Not that we expect the leader to have all the answers, but a good leader will ensure a collective and coordinated approach to ministry, working together, communication and team forming. Ultimately, our Leader is the Lord and we work under the Holy Spirit. Let us seek to do His will and welcome Don Collins as National Director and give him our full support. To God, alone wise, be glory through Jesus Christ forever. Amen. (Romans 16:27) Sincerely, Ferdi van Dongen Chairman National Council CSSM |
