Northrop commented: "[Our mission] starts with education at the local church where we often see the most losses occur, ensuring the stability of the captive insurance company for future church needs and expanding our international coverage for global ministry.”
Juan Prestol-Puesan, ARM board chair, said: “We as the ARM board are confident in Northrop’s knowledge of insurance and solid financial management. [He] has the ability and energetic perspective to lead this company."
