Peter Simpson has accepted a call to join the North Pacific Union Conference as a vice president for Hispanic ministries and ministerial director. He joined the Ohio Conference 12 years ago as a district pastor in the Greater Cleveland area. His journey was fueled by a passion for ministry inherited from his missionary parents. Simpson later became the director of Hispanic Ministries and Church Planting. This role highlighted his exceptional leadership skills and underscored his deep-seated drive for evangelism, which helped the Ohio Conference to new heights in baptisms and church plantings. In 2023, Simpson was appointed Director for Multilingual Ministries, Church Planting, and Evangelism at the Ohio Conference. Peter Simpson's journey in ministry, spanning over 33 years across various countries, embodies a life dedicated to the service of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. From his early days as a district pastor to other roles at both conference and union levels and even as a conference president, Simpson's work has been a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change. His academic pursuits, culminating in a doctorate in pastoral ministry, have further enriched his ministry, equipping him with the knowledge and insight to lead effectively and with compassion. Alongside him, his wife, Carolina Simpson, has been a pillar of support and an active participant in ministry, leaving an indelible mark on the Ohio Conference community. As Peter and Carolina Simpson embark on this new chapter, their absence will be profoundly felt within the Ohio Conference. Their legacy of faithfulness, leadership, and unwavering dedication to the mission will continue to inspire those they have led and served. The Ohio Conference extends its heartfelt prayers and best wishes to Peter and Carolina Simpson as they answer this new call.
