Delbert D. Enns has resigned as executive director of Family Life Network Inc. (FLN), a post he held since July 1999. He concluded his service on February 29, 2008. FLN is a multicultural, missionary media agency with roots in the Mennonite Brethren Church.
Under Enns’ leadership FLN has doubled the number of languages (from 7 to 15) in which it does radio, TV, and music production worldwide. FLN’s staff has grown from 14 to 66 persons with much of that growth taking place in Russia and Ukraine.
“We’ll certainly miss Delbert,” says Claude Pratte, FLN’s church relations director and a former board chair. “His fervent belief in God and desire to go where God leads is coupled with a true entrepreneurial and visionary spirit. We are excitedly looking ahead to build on this legacy.”
