Global mission organisation Langham Partnership International has a new leader.
Tayo Arikawe will move from his post as Director of Ministries at London City Mission (LCM) to the position of International Director with Langham in April.
Arikawe, from Nigeria, has served in church planting and pastor training ministry in several countries in Africa, in the UK, and in Europe, seeking in each case to align Biblical mission theology with clear strategic vision and effective practice.
Graham Miller, Chief Executive of London City Mission, says: ‘It has been a joy and a privilege to serve with Tayo during times of great change, not only for LCM, but also for the world, and I am very thankful to the Lord for Tayo’s faithful perseverance and godly attitude. I know he will serve Langham Partnership International in the Lord’s strength and for His glory.’
Jill McGilvray, Chair of Langham Partnership International Council, says: We are grateful that God has led us to a man of such character, skill and experience, and we look forward to continuing to help equip the global church under Tayo’s leadership.’
Langham Partnership aims to ‘Biblically equip the global church, raising up leaders of leaders in more than 90 nations’.
