COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Wayne Pederson will become HCJB Global's new
president Nov. 1, the international missions organization announced today.

replace David Johnson, who stepped down in June after serving for seven
years. Dr. James D. Allen has been serving as acting president.

been a member of the board of directors of HCJB Global for two-and-a-half
years. He also has worked with the ministry to raise money for key projects,
including the launch of its satellite ministry in Latin America and Russia.
"The board is delighted that Wayne has accepted the call to become HCJB
Global's president. With his combination of godly character, seasoned
leadership skills and passion for HCJB Global and its mission, he is
uniquely equipped to serve as our president," said John Baugus, chairman of
the board for HCJB Global.
"Wayne Pederson has a great heart for missions, and he is intimately
acquainted with HCJB Global," said Glen Adams, the HCJB board member who
headed the search team that selected Pederson. "He is an exceptional leader
with many years of experience in Christian broadcasting.
"Further, he comes to us at an important time in the life if our ministry,
and he brings a vision that will challenge all of us as we join together in
the coming months and years to be the 'voice and hands of Jesus,'" Adams
said.
"I have a passion to see people come to Jesus," Pederson said. "My focus has
been on using the media to accomplish that. However, as I grow older, God
has sensitized my heart to the physical needs of people worldwide.
"By combining HCJB Global Voice with HCJB Global Hands, we can demonstrate
the love of Christ in very practical ways. That kind of caring opens the
door for us to share the great spiritual truth that God cares not only for
people's eternal salvation, but for their welfare in this life," Pederson
said.

America Coalition and president and chairman of the National Religious
Broadcasters. From 1967 to 2002, he held various positions at Northwestern
