As an update, Brother Varlack shared at our convention that he signed a declaration a few years back that he would not then or at anytime in the future allow himself to be considered for the office of the General/International Overseer.
He further stated that it was very interesting to him that the International Presbyters (Is it 6 or 7 of them?) had since signed a similar declaration.
He went on to preach how this is God's church and man doesn't always understand the mind of the Lord in these matters. I left feeling like our next Overseer could very likely come from beyond the borders of the U.S., but that's strictly opinion and based upon nothing tangible that Brother Varlack shared. I do agree that the Lord is building the house as he pleases.
