A team of forty-four people recently elected to carry out the mandate of the Jamaica Union of Seventh-day Adventists for the next five years were urged to focus on the task at hand and not the position.
The Jamaica Union Conference is the body at the helm of the Seventh-day Adventist Churches and other affiliated institutions in Jamaica.
Israel Leito, president of the Inter-American Division of Seventh-day Adventists, which consists of thirty-eight countries including those in the Caribbean region, said that people have different ideas of leadership and in corporate spheres the thought process is to find people who are most able to impact the “bottom line”.
He, however, emphasised that in God’s kingdom the approach has to be different.
