Dear Fellow Colleagues:
Yesterday evening (June 9, 2025) the Carolina Conference Executive Committee voted to invite Elder Brad Cauley, D.Min, to serve as the new Vice-President for Administration/Executive Secretary for the conference replacing the post that Elder Gary Moyer has held for the past 19 years. As each of us are nearing the sunset years in our employed service for the church, Elder Moyer has requested to transition to pastoral ministry in the Albemarle & Monroe Church District just outside Charlotte. I am so grateful for the high honor and sacred privilege to have served beside my dear friend Gary for the past 14 years, and I look forward to continuing our close friendship and collegial relationship as servants of the Lord Jesus.
Elder Brad Cauley has accepted our call and will begin his service in the Carolina Conference as an administrative officer on August 1, 2025. We welcome Brad and Nellie as they return home to the Carolinas from Maine where Brad has been serving as the Executive Secretary for the Northern New England Conference. Their children, Alexandra and Bradford are both students at Southern Adventist University.
On another note, and as a matter of heartfelt urgency, we are calling all our Carolina family to uplift our dear sister, Kathy Russell, the wife of Elder Rick Russell in our earnest prayers as we’ve received notice that all medical options have been exhausted in the treatment of her ovarian cancer. We need a miracle, and I believe that we worship a God of miracles. We now place her life in His care and ask for all prayers on her behalf. Kathy has been serving as our Children’s Ministries Director, and she is very dear to the hearts of our constituents and especially to our very close-knit officer family. Our officer family held a special anointing service for Kathy yesterday in my office pleading with the Lord to embrace her with the presence and healing power of the Holy Spirit. I invite prayer bands all across the conference to partner with us in this matter of intercessory prayer claiming the promise of James 5:16 that “The prayer of faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will raise him (her) up.”
May God bless and keep each of you in His constant love and care as you continue your service for Christ.
In HIS service,
Leslie D. Louis
President ~ A servant leader for the Lord
