by Jerry L. Van Marter

LOUISVILLE - The Rev. John W.  "Bill" Young has been named executive director
of the Presbyterian Frontier Fellowship (PFF), a validated mission group that
works closely with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) to take the gospel to
unreached people around the world.

	Young's appointment was announced Jan. 14 by the Rev. Greg Roth,
pastor of Centerville Presbyterian Church in Fremont, CA, and president of
the PFF board of directors. "We see this as a God-inspired moment in the life
of our organization," Roth said.

	For the last six years Young has served as coordinator for
international evangelism in the Worldwide Ministries Division here. In a
30-year career he has also served as a missionary in Zaire (now Congo) and
Ghana and as a pastor in Mississippi and Tennessee.

	A former engineer, Young is a graduate of Mississippi State
University, Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, MS, and the Fuller
Theological Seminary School of World Mission, where he earned a Th.M. in
Inter-Cultural Studies.

	Young begins his new work April 1. He will join a team that includes
PFF's previous two executive directors, the Revs. Harold Kurtz and David
Hackett, and seven regional associate directors. PFF's national office is in
Eden Prairie, MN.
