Fidon Mwombeki has been elected general secretary of the All Africa Conference of Churches, which held its general assembly in Kigali, Rwanda, in early July.
Previously Mwombeki, a pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Tanzania, was director of the Department for Mission and Development at the Lutheran World Federation.
“Mwombeki has provided leadership and direction for DMD with clear focus and passion for holistic mission,” said Martin Junge, LWF general secretary. “I believe the AACC will greatly benefit from his leadership.”
