Just prior to the conclusion of the meeting, an emailed message was
received from Dr. Mossai T. Sanguma, president of the Covenant Church of
Congo (CEUM), congratulating President Glenn Palmberg on his election to
a third term as president.
"The Evangelical Community of the Ubangi Mongala (CEUM) wants to express
its sincere appreciation to President Glenn Palmberg for his re-election
to be president for the third time of the Evangelical Covenant Church.
President Palmberg is a minister who brings so easily the World to
Christ and Christ to the World. He is a relation builder and he knows
how to care for those who are different from himself. His great smile
while embracing brothers and sisters can quickly make that person feel
relaxed and connected to him without hesitation.
"President Palmberg is truely loved by his brothers and sisters of the
Democratic Republic of Congo," Sanguma continues. "The CEUM wants to see
this continue with his leadership of the Evangelical Covenant Church.
His re-election is God's will and we were parts of it, though we had no
way to act on our behalf for him. However, what the 121st Annual Meeting
has done fits into our expectation. May the Lord who guided him these
past years of leadership, do it more and more for the years to come. May
God bless his family to be strong and healthy to fulfill what God has
given him. Our sincere congratulations go to President Glenn Palmberg."
