Columbia Union Honors Dan Jackson

Story by V. Michelle Bernard

Dan Jackson, president of the North American Division (NAD), shared a worship thought on Ruth during the recent Columbia Union Conference Executive Comittee Meeting. “There is a tempest blowing in our land. There is desolation in many places, but we have the hope, the faith and the promise that we may shelter under the wings of the Almighty with our kinsman redeemer, Jesus Christ,’’ he said.

Dave Weigley, Columbia Union president, then presented Jackson with a certificate of appreciation for his 48 years of faithful ministry. Jackson will retire in June.

Weigley also applauded pastors, conference leaders, educators and health care workers during his report. “We’ve really tried to continue ministry through the online method,” he said. “Despite the pandemic, we’re continuing to carry on the mission.”
