IMB’s Hou to deliver Powell Missions Lecture Feb. 1

Victor Hou, associate vice president for global advance at the International Mission Board, will deliver the W.D. Powell Missions Lecture at Union University Feb. 1.

Hou leads strategic networks that facilitate gospel advance among unreached peoples and places. He previously worked with Accenture and Deloitte where he advised executive leaders of global companies on navigating post-merger integrations, supply chain optimization and organizational change.

Named after a Union alumnus and a pioneer Southern Baptist missionary to Mexico in the late 1800s, the W.D. Powell Missions Lecture Series is co-sponsored by Union’s School of Theology and Missions and the IMB to honor Union alumni who have served in international missions.

Hou will speak on the topic “Advancing the Gospel, Pushing Back Lostness” at 3:30 p.m. in Harvey Auditorium. The lecture is free and open to the public.
