Stanley, founder of In Touch Ministries, went to be with the Lord. “Dr. Stanley leaves behind a lasting legacy as a torch-bearer and trailblazer of Gospel ministry and Christian broadcasting,” said NRB President & CEO Troy A. Miller, in learning of Stanley’s passing. “We were blessed to have such a faithful servant of the Lord as a veteran NRB member and a faithful supporter and encourager of the work of NRB. Our condolences and prayers are with Dr. Stanley’s family. Although we mourn his loss in this life it is a joy to know that he is with his Savior and Lord.” NRB’s Great Commission Forum to Explore the Global Impact of Christian MediaNRB’s 2023 Great Commission Forum will be held on the first day of the NRB International Christian Media Convention in Orlando, Florida. The Great Commission Forum is NRB’s venue for U.S.-based communicators to gain insights into the worldwide impact of Christian media and explore potential partnerships with international ministries to expand their outreach efforts. The Forum will feature Dr. Michael Oh and Nick Vujicic. Dr. Michael Oh is the Global Executive Director and CEO of the Lausanne Movement, founded by Billy Graham. The Lausanne Movement connects influencers and ideas for global mission. Michael has degrees from the University of Pennsylvania (BA, MS, PhD), Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (MDiv), and Harvard University (MA). He has served as Lausanne’s CEO since 2013. Michael answered the call to lead Lausanne because of a passion that he “wants the world to look different in ten years.” Michael, his wife Pearl, and their five children served as missionaries in Japan for over ten years and now reside near Philadelphia. Nick Vujicic is the President of Life Without Limbs. Australian-American Nick Vujicic was born in 1982, without limbs. There was no medical conclusion as to why he was born this way, but in spite of his physical limitations, his courage and tenacity for life have caused him to become one of the biggest motivational speakers in the world. Nick has traveled to 78 countries and to crowds as large as 800,000 people, as well as met with 25 presidents, vice presidents, and prime ministers. Nick is also an evangelist through his nonprofit ministry Life Without Limbs and has preached the gospel to over 740 million people worldwide.
