Regional Directors


Regional Directors (RDs) form the hands and feet of OC, giving the ministry unparalleled global reach coupled with acute local expertise. These experienced, proven leaders serve each region where OC works by providing on-site coaching in areas of fundraising, curriculum design, management, strategic planning and governance, as well as building relationships through pastoral care to the leadership of partner institutions. They also research strategic trends and the opportunities and challenges confronting theological education in the region and make recommendations regarding OC’s assistance to partner institutions.

OC is pleased to announce our new Regional Director for Africa, Rev. Victor Nakah, ThD. Victor and his family live in Zimbabwe, where he previously served as the President of the Theological College of Zimbabwe (TCZ) for 10 years. Read more about Victor.

Victor will receive part-time assistance, particularly in Francophone Africa, from Rev. Philippe Emedi, who is currently on study-leave from the Accrediting Council for Theological Education in Africa (ACTEA).

Overseas Council is very grateful to the retiring Regional Director, Dr. Bill Houston, for his outstanding leadership and contribution to evangelical theological education.


He assists Victor Nakah and enables OC to further connect with Africa's French-speaking countries.

Taras Dyatlik will be contributing to OC's work in Eurasia, serving our partners in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova. He is a graduate and former academic dean/faculty member of Donetsk Christian University (DCU), one of our Ukrainian partner schools. Read more about Taras.

Partner institutions discuss how the RDs are making a difference


"The support and help of [Ashish] is substantial. His involvement in the formation of vision and mission statements and his guidance given to the faculty on different levels are notable. His consistent contact with the seminary and guidance for our development are a great support."


"We are grateful for the friendship and support of [Abraham*] toward our ministries and projects. His input and advice to our president and leadership team is always appreciated....Our students also had the opportunity to benefit from his knowledge in an Old Testament Theology course last January. Some students assessed the course, and one of them...wrote in his semester report: 'The course was truly a great blessing. I had a lot of questions regarding God in the Old Testament, and this course answered all my inquiries.'" *Name has been changed for security purposes.


"Josué is a constant source of encouragement, wise advice and moral support, which is crucial for people like presidents of seminaries who hold such a lonely job. His friendship and availability to listen, pray and act when needed has made a huge difference in my ministry and personal life. He is also a great networker, linking needs with resources in a brilliant manner. His wide yet intimate knowledge and grasp of every school's situation is incredible, as is his ability to relate on a personal level....Josué is an invaluable asset to OC's ministry in this part of the world."
