The General Secretary of the Indonesian Bible Institute (LAI), Sigit Triyono, has been elected as the Chair of the Fellowship Council (Fellowship Council) of the World Fellowship of Bible Societies (United Bible Societies-UBS) for the next term.
Fellowship Council.
In a smooth election process, 123 of the 130 national Bible Societies that are full members of UBS exercised their right to vote. The UBS leadership gives special thanks and appreciation to all UBS members who enthusiastically participated in the election process. Of course, thanks are also due to all the outstanding candidates who were nominated in this process..
Sigit Triyono will begin his four-year term of service as Chair from November 2026, when the new UBS Board holds its inaugural meeting.
Let us pray for Pak Sigit's ministry to be able to carry out his ministry smoothly, and we pray also for the election process for the other members of the Fellowship Council. This process will take place in each regional area of the Bible Societies, which are full members of UBS. In April there will be a briefing to guide the process. Voting will take place in May, and the results of the election will be announced in June..
One of Mr Sigit's best friends in the UBS ministry, Dr. Arun Sok Nhep, who serves as Head of Member Relations UBS stated thus: ”It's hard to believe, it's been 8 years since I first met Sigit. What a journey of service and friendship!
For years, he faithfully led one of the largest Bible Societies with wisdom, humility, and a deep commitment to God's mission. And now, as he steps into another key role within the UBS Fellowship, I have no doubt that his impact will be even greater.
Congratulations, my brother. May the Lord God continue to guide and strengthen you in this new ministry.
May the new UBS Fellowship Council be ready to listen, serve, and lead the World Fellowship of Bible Societies (UBS) into a new season in the days ahead. All glory be to God.
