UNION HONORS IMB PRESIDENT

July 11, 2019

From Union University

JACKSON — Paul Chitwood, president of the International Mission Board, was the recipient of Union University’s M.E. Dodd Denominational Service Award this year.

Union president Samuel W. “Dub” Oliver presented the award to Chitwood, a Tennessean who was reared in Jellico, earlier this month at Union’s alumni and friends dinner during the SBC annual meeting in Birmingham, Ala.

Todd Brady, Union’s vice president for university ministries, told Chitwood that he was a “leading voice for Southern Baptists” as president of the IMB.

The denominational service award is named for the man who was a 1904 Union graduate, served as president of the Southern Baptist Convention and was the father of today’s Cooperative Program, the method by which Southern Baptists pool their resources to fund mission efforts
