In his role as regional liaison for Southeast Asia and the Pacific, Hery facilitates and seeks to strengthen healthy, missiologically appropriate relationships among entities of the PC (USA) and those of partner denominations and organizations in the region. Hery also supports fellow PC (USA) mission personnel serving in the region through communications, information sharing, guidance, encouragement, and missiological reflection. Though the challenges of economic disparities, rampant poverty and climate change are daunting, Hery views them as opportunities for the Church and larger community to work together to “identify, reinforce, and multiply projects that promote mutual understanding.” He has faith that “through the light of partnership and mission, the Church will continue to fulfill its prophetic role for justice and reconciliation among people and the whole of creation.”
