Prayer is requested for General Superintendent Gustavo A. Crocker, who underwent an emergency appendectomy Friday morning. Everything went well and he is recovering.

Crocker says he “praises God for prayers and for good healthcare.”

Crocker was elected the 41st general superintendent of the Church of the Nazarene at the 28th General Assembly in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA, in June 2013.

Prior to his election, Crocker had served as Eurasia regional director since 2004. He previously served as administrative director of Nazarene Compassionate Ministries International.
