ANDY DIPPER APPOINTED AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF VIVA
The Board of Viva has confirmed the appointment of Andy Dipper to the position of Chief Executive of Viva from July 2012. Andy has spent the last six years as CEO of Release International, a Christian organisation serving the persecuted church around the world.
Andy says, “I really sense God has spoken very clearly to me over the past few weeks and that He wants me and my family to take a step of faith. God has challenged me with a question, ‘am I prepared to trust Him in all things?’ My response is ‘Yes!’ and I’m really looking forward to working with Viva as we seek to take the organisation’s impact to the next level.”
