First-timers received special orientation from NRB International Committee members Tom Zahradnik and Jeffery Anderson to help them navigate the enormous convention and the Opryland Hotel. The International Reception on Saturday gave many an opportunity to meet others early on during the convention. And the International Keynote and Zoom Lunch, with Dr. Michael Youssef and Dr. Hannu Haukka speaking, gave perspective to the opportunities and needs for the Gospel to be carried around the world.
The Executive Committee and NRB chairman, Rich Bott, named a new International Committee. This group represents various ministries who have interests in international Christian broadcasting. The committee members are:
Our thanks to all who made the international contingency at NRB 2012 feel welcome and at home.
Dr. Ron Harris - Senior Vice-President for Strategic Partnerships.
