conference Adventist church leaders, and military service personnel. His
territory includes the Columbia, Atlantic, and Lake union conferences, as
well as the eastern portion of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in
Canada.”

Djibouti, Africa. During his deployment Johnson served as deputy command
chaplain and senior Protestant chaplain for approximately 3,500
service personnel at Camp Lemonnier, the only permanent U.S. military
base on the African continent.

Magazine and pastor of multiple congregations in the South Central and
Northern California conferences. He is a graduate of Oakwood University,
