Jordan Evangelical Council elects new president

جهينة نيوز - The general assembly of the Jordan Evangelical Council chose reverend Habes Nimat as their new president for the coming three years. He replaces retired general Imad May'yah who presided over the council during the past seven years.

The election held at the Evangelical Free Church in Khalda, Amman, Wednesday, was preceded by a narrative and financial report. David Rihani gave a twenty-point report of previous activities of the council that represents five evangelical churches in Jordan. The report referred to the leadership role the council had in unifying the Jordanian council with evangelical councils in the holy land.

It also referred to the letter sent by the council to President Trump urging him not to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and to "listen to the wisdom of King Abdullah." The report included various, local, regional and international visits and meetings including the meeting with the heads of Christian Churches held under the auspices of the Jordan Bible Society.

President-elect Nimat from the Christian Alliance Church and the founder of the Alliance Academy in Yadouda, outlined his vision for the council to give priority to practical service and to unify the evangelical effort. Nimat expressed support to the cooperation with Palestinian evangelicals describing that as "an honor" for the Jordanian council.
