CONFERENCE
MAY 5-7, 2023
Spring Conference is right around the corner. After three years of not hosting any events on our campus, we are thrilled to invite you back to enjoy great Bible teaching, fellowship and food. We will also have missionaries sharing about what God is doing through their ministries around the world. We will cap it all off with our Commencement Exercises on Sunday, as we honour and send out our current graduates. Our conference is scheduled for May 5-7.
Christ, while others had never even heard the Gospel. This church group simultaneously put on a VBS-type program for the children while the adults willingly sat through three days of Bible teaching. Over 400 children heard the Gospel! The adults wanted the church group to incorporate as many sessions as possible during the three days and begged the Bible teachers to return soon.
My Bolivian friend who went on the trip shared with me that they had no place to sleep during their three days in the village. They had brought Bibles in cardboard boxes to give out and ended up using the cardboard as mattresses on the dirt floor. However, they were so excited by the hunger for God’s Word that their sleeping conditions didn’t matter. Reports like these serve to not only challenge us but also remind us that God has not ceased to work in hearts and lives.
Our Bible teacher will be Dr. Wendell Calder.
Wendell was born on Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada and was born again at an early age in his home church, North Road Baptist Church. He is a 1959 graduate of New Brunswick Bible Institute and began his pastoral ministry the week following graduation. Wendell pastored a total of 16 years and founded the Woodland Baptist Church, Baileyville, Maine in 1963. He founded Living Waters Bible Conference in 1970, a ministry which continues to reach all ages with the gospel of Christ. He founded their present ministry of Local Church Evangelism in 1975. This ministry has taken him to six continents sharing the gospel message. In May, 1982, Tennessee Temple University in Chattanooga, TN conferred on him an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree. Wendell and his wife, Joan, reside in Florida.
