LONDON, England, UK, Oct. 25 /
Christian Newswire/ -- After six years of service, Graham Sopp, Biblica's Director of European Operations, is stepping down, effective December 31, 2010.
"It has been my privilege to serve the cause of God's Word for the last six years," said Sopp. "I never cease to be amazed and humbled by the power of God's Word to change lives. I'm also astounded by the need for Scripture that still exists around the world. I wish Biblica all the best as they continue to provide Scripture to a needy world."
During his term with Biblica, Sopp served in a number of roles including UK National Director and Group Vice President of Eurasia. He also provided leadership to STL Distribution's UK operation following its merger with International Bible Society in 2008.
Biblica International CEO Keith Danby said, "We are tremendously grateful for Graham's work in Europe and Asia. He was involved in many projects to make the Bible accessible and understandable to people throughout the region. The impact of his ministry will be felt for generations to come, and even into eternity."
