Tyndale House Publishers received a visit last week from the wife of the president of Ghana, Her Excellency Mrs. Ernestina Naadu Mills. After meeting with Tyndale executives, Her Excellency Mrs. Mills addressed Tyndale employees in an assembly, took a tour of the campus and had lunch in the boardroom with invited guests.
Jeff Johnson, Tyndale's chief operating officer, said the visit was a "privilege" and observed that Mills had a "servant's heart," adding: "May it be that more leaders around the world would have this kind of servant's heart versus being caught up in how they can benefit from their position and power." Mills had requested the visit to the publisher because of she and her husband's familiarity with the company's products, including the Life Application Study Bible and the NLT Study Bible, and has facilitated the distribution of the company's products in the Republic of Ghana. During the visit, she presented Johnson with a carved wooden globe crafted in Ghana.
