Habitat for Humanity International has named Jonathan T. M. Reckford,
a businessman and current executive pastor of a large Minnesota
church, as the chief executive officer of the Georgia-based homebuilding
ministry. Reckford, 42, was president of stores for the Musicland
division of Best Buy before starting two years ago as administrator
for the 4,300-member Christ Presbyterian Church in Edina, Minnesota.
He succeeds interim CEO Paul Leonard. The widely admired ministry
a year ago was battling with founder Millard Fuller over retirement
terms until Fuller finally formed another agency doing related
work. Ex-president Jimmy Carter praised Reckford's selection as
"a wonderful choice" to help Habitat "navigate
the economy and business climate" while employing his "pastoral
experiences" for the ministry..
