基督复临安息日会（Seventh-day Adventist Church）官方刊物 Adventist Record 10月21日报道，该会澳大利亚北部会议（Northern Australian Conference）会长 Simon Gigliotti 牧师已被任命为巴布亚新几内亚联合会（PNGUM）副会长。任命由该会南太平洋分会（SPD）与巴新联合会执行委员会共同作出。
巴新联合会会长 Danny Philip 牧师对任命表示欢迎；南太平洋分会会长 Glenn Townend 牧师表示，这项任命是该会跨文化领袖交流计划的一部分。Gigliotti 是该计划下第二位跨联合会任命的领袖，第一位是今年4月出任跨太平洋联合会的 Clive Tefaatau 牧师。

Papua New Guinea: Adventist Church Appoints Pastor Simon Gigliotti as Vice President of the Papua New Guinea Union Mission, Starting January 2027
The Adventist Record, the official publication of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, reported on October 21 that Pastor Simon Gigliotti, president of the church's Northern Australian Conference, has been appointed vice president of the Papua New Guinea Union Mission (PNGUM). The appointment was made by the church's South Pacific Division (SPD) together with the PNGUM executive committee.
PNGUM president Pastor Danny Philip welcomed the appointment, and SPD president Pastor Glenn Townend described it as part of the church's cross-cultural leadership initiative. Gigliotti is the second cross-union appointment under the initiative, following Pastor Clive Tefaatau, who moved to the Trans Pacific Union Mission in April 2026.
Gigliotti began denominational service in 2009 as a chaplain at Riverside Adventist Christian School in Townsville, Australia, and later served in Mackay, the Victorian Conference, and the Greater Sydney Conference before becoming Northern Australian Conference president in September 2023. He will finish in his current role at the end of November and move to Papua New Guinea with his wife, Brittany, and their children, Vienna, Violetta, and James, starting the new position in January 2027.
