Southeast Asia NBC elects new chancellor

Southeast Asia NBC elects new chancellor

by | 31 Aug 2015

Donghwan "Bill" Kwon was unanimously elected 18 August to serve as chancellor of Southeast Asia Nazarene Bible College.

In his role, Kwon will give leadership and oversight to the academic and fiscal administration, along with overseeing planning and development and curriculum.

“Dr. Bill Kwon is an anointed, gifted, Spirit-filled leader,” said Collin Elliott, interim Southeast Asia field strategy coordinator. “As the chancellor-elect of SEABNC, I am confident that he  will propel this institution to new heights in preparing and training ministers 'to make Christlike disciples in the nations.'”

“It is my great honor to serve SEANBC as chancellor," Kwon said. "I began my missionary career as a seminary professor then stepped out onto the frontline mission field as a district superintendent with an obedient heart. During this big transition, the Lord allowed me to have some time to reflect on what Jesus Christ wants his theological institutions to be like. I am praying that the Lord will continue to lead SEANBC to be the foundation for men and women who can, 'go out and make disciples' (Matthew 28: 18-20), as He commanded. Listening to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I am humbly submitting myself to the leadership of the Southeast Asia Field and the general church. To God be the glory!"

The SEANBC Board of Regents offers warm thanks to David Phillips, Southeast Asia field strategy coordinator, for his service as chancellor over the last three years.  Phillips put administrative systems in place that are allowing the school to progress on better footing.

SEANBC welcomes this transition as continuing progress toward developing leaders across Southeast Asia who are moving into leadership roles in their respective countries and satellite campuses.

Bill will continue to serve in his assigned roles on the field in addition to serving as chancellor. For more information on the Kwons, click here.
