hallenges are not new for our missionary team. Each summer, camp
directors work hard to find young (and not so young) adults willing
to work long hours with little pay. Sometimes they face extreme Canadian children living
conditions (2017 and 2018: forest fires and evacuations), and still manage to plan with married parents1
unforgettable experiences for hundreds of children a week. Why? For the sole
purpose of presenting Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. These are the challenges
we have come to expect and each summer we see the body of Christ rise to

meet them.
Five months ago we faced a new challenge when the federal government
changed the Canada Summer Jobs Grant application process. Our decision not
to sign a document that compromised our biblical convictions resulted in an
estimated need of $250,000 to support summer missionaries and, to cover legal
and media relations costs.

HOW DID THE BODY OF CHRIST RESPOND?

We heard from dozens of believers. “Stand firm . . . Rely on God to provide.”

That encouraged us to appeal to more than two thousand supporters. Wow! Canadians who agree that

Challenges such as a sudden loss in government funding are healthy for
One Hope Canada and, by extension, the church in Canada. Years of government
assistance can lull us into believing that Caesar, not God, provides what is needed
to fulfill our mandate. A lesson well learned.

When Statements Are
Our Reality
PURPOSE, VISION, AND CORE
VALUES ARE VITAL. THEY SERVE
AS A COMPASS AND GUARDRAILS.

One Hope Canada’s purpose has remained essentially CORE VALUES

unchanged since the mission’s founding in 1927.
Our vision, revisited over the last few months by
mission leadership and the national board, gives us
a laser focus for the next decade. Although recently
rearticulated, our core values have been part of the
mission’s DNA from the beginning.
PURPOSE
We present the Gospel, particularly to those having
the least opportunity to hear of Christ and especially
to children and youth, and we disciple believers for
living and serving through His Church.
VISION
To intentionally equip present-and-next-generation
leaders to be Gospel centered, and to aggressively
pursue new ministry strategies that recognize cultural
and geographic realities.
We are desperately dependent on God.
We accomplish nothing of eternal worth apart from
God’s Spirit empowering us, and we practice this
dependence upon God by being Christ centered and
Gospel focused (John 15:5; Romans 1:16).
We are completely confident in the Bible.
The Bible is our final authority in all matters of
faith and practice (2 Timothy 3:16).
We are continually committed to being family.
The Holy Spirit, through the Gospel, creates a new
community where we intentionally love and serve
one another (John 15:9-17; Colossians 3:12-15).

We want to share your story of the mission with others. If you went to one of our camps as a child, or were part
of a Sunday school or church that was started by Canadian Sunday School Mission missionaries, we would
love to hear your story! Send it to info@onehopecanada.ca.
While attending Vacation Bible School in July 1964,
I asked the Lord Jesus to be my Savior. Faithful to His
promises, He has kept me near to Him through all these
years and has guided me through many of life’s storms.
I received a certificate signed by Lillian Zwicker and
Annabelle Fletcher and have kept it as a special treasure
all these years. This certificate is a faithful reminder of
how and when the Lord Jesus reached into my life and
planted His love deep in my heart.
LYNDA, DARTMOUTH, NS
Just received the magazine Canada’s Hope Winter/
Spring 2018. Could not help but send a note to you—
I’m always interested, especially in Sandy Cove Bible
Camp [NB]. Both my children, Wendy (now 61) and
Randy (now 58), were saved there. When Wendy
was in Bible school, she worked at Sandy Cove as a
counselor. I became involved by taking a week off work
for a couple of summers to help as an assistant cook.
Met many wonderful people. I have so many great
memories, I just had to send a quick note of appreciation
for all Bible camp work across our great country.

AN EXCERPT FROM ETHEL’S DIARY,
DAUPHIN, MB
I was raised in CSSM churches in Alberta 60 years
ago. Times are changing, but I believe we may have
to go back to older, more secure positions in regard to
summer worker funding. When I counselled in the
1960s and 1970s, we expected no remuneration except
what came in by the end of the week (certainly not
any aid from a godless government). Those few dollars
didn’t amount to much even then; a summer worker
was expected to be essentially a volunteer. I think it
needs to return to this quickly. As a young worker,
I felt led to obey the Spirit’s impulse to serve a week
or two at camp, and I found a way to fund myself.
God provided then and He is still able to do so.

 ECHO LAKE BIBLE CAMP
This summer we experienced
an upheaval to our summer
program with the threat of
forest fire. Because of that
threat, the last two weeks of
camp had to be cancelled and
the camp evacuated. Despite
that, it was one of our most
dynamic ministry seasons,
expanding well beyond the
walls of our camp. God’s
presence, protection, and
provision were so evident.

 HOPE BAY BIBLE CAMP BY JACQUIE BOLEN, DIRECTOR

This year was marked by growth:
more campers, passionate
team members, decisions for
Christ, and church and youth
ministry putting down roots on
Pender Island. God is good!
 LAKE OF THE TREES
BIBLE CAMP
We rejoice over the record
number of campers and faith
responses to Christ. Thick smoke
hampered just a few camp
days, and rain fell when needed.
Evacuation insurance was
finally resolved from July 2017.
 NESS LAKE BIBLE CAMP
We have been trying to
develop our follow-up ministry
to campers. The other day,
while promoting Ness Lake
Bible Camp at the mall, a mom
stopped at our booth to say
her son had decided to follow
Jesus at our camp. Since then
he has read his Bible every
day; now she is wondering if
we would recommend a church
where she could take her son.
We pray God will continue the
good work He has started,
not only in this boy’s life, but
also in the rest of his family.
Love in Action
W
hile “Patrick” and I were
on a walk, he formally
asked if I would do him the
honor of becoming his wife. I told him
I was honored he would ask, but I was
already married.
He replied, “Easy come, easy go! Love
down the toilet!”
Our Amasa campers are like any other
sector of the population: they want
someone special to love and someone who
will love them in return. As we tell our
leaders, your prime duty as a cabin leader:
“Love our people!”
The challenge we face in our camp
is explaining and demonstrating the
different types of love in the Bible:
romantic love, the brotherly love of friendship, and God’s divine love.
How does that happen when some campers do not hear, see, speak, or
understand well? The answer? God’s love is love in action! Erin Mohring says
it well in her blog, “Whatever examples you may use for describing [showing]
the different forms of love, constantly pointing to the unwavering, never-
ending love of God will keep the most important kind of love in the forefront
of their minds!”

 BY MARK WILSON, CAMP DIRECTOR

Making Disciples
W
ith only a week until summer camp, we looked through our list of
everyone we knew who might be able to cabin lead. Having asked
all my family, friends, acquaintances, and third cousins, I felt like a
salesman going door to door. More campers had signed up than ever before. We
had many great leaders, including leaders in training, and alumni, but needed
a few more. It is hard to find people who will sacrifice other things to serve and
lead in God’s kingdom!
The day before our mandatory summer missionary training started, Dylan
called from Lloydminster, SK. He loves God and desperately wants an abundant
life of serving and knowing Jesus. We talked and he said, “I'd love to come, but I'm
committed to a job. I'll ask if I can quit today, but I doubt they will let me.”
I reminded him that training started the next day. Later, he texted that his
employer supported his going and he was on his way. Dylan drove twelve hours
through the night, making it just in time to start a full day of training! He was
amazingly committed to his kids, shared thoughtful devotionals every night, and
introduced many of his boys to Jesus!
“I am so This September I visited a church and asked some kids what part of camp they
thankful for liked best. A little boy said, "My leader, Wrench”, Dylan's camp name.
I am so thankful for every person who listened to Jesus' call to go and make
every person disciples this summer. I am also thankful for those who donated so young people

who listened to could serve. Praise God, He always provides but asks us to participate in calling
people to serve. Unfortunately, so many of us often think of ministry as a second
Jesus' call to priority. But Jesus said the time is now! The harvest is ready, and we have the
greatest news, the greatest friend, and He is the hope for the whole world; there is
go and make nothing more important than that!

 CAMP SILVERSIDES
We praise God for an incredibly blessed
summer, proclaiming the Gospel to 600
people. One hundred and four campers gave
their lives to Christ and 10 campers were
baptized in the lake! How great is our God!

 DAVID THOMPSON BIBLE CAMP

This summer, a young camper who had
planned to attend with her best friend,
experienced the tragic death of that friend.
During our testimony campfire, she shared
how she had been afraid she might be
judged because of her sadness. Instead, she
had felt accepted and couldn't believe how
much everyone loved her!
 FAITH BIBLE CAMP
One camper, with moderate to severe
asthma, has struggled every year with
running and physical activities. Yet she
keeps returning, and hopes to be a summer
missionary in two years because of the
relationships she is building at camp.
 JOY CHAPEL
Hearing the Gospel at our special needs
camp, 51-year-old Susan kept repeating,
“I wish Jesus would forgive all the bad
stories of my life.” “He has forgiven them,”
we encouraged as she prayed, using her
own words. A few minutes later, I saw her
sitting on the ground, leaning back against
a wall, her head bowed and hands clasped
together. A precious sight!
 NORDEGG COMMUNITY MINISTRY
This last year we had many opportunities
to build relationships in the community.
Our Sunday service provides an opportunity
for many full and part-time community
members to praise and worship God.
We have also provided a time and place
for the community to watch a movie.
With two other churches, we provide
Christmas presents for children on the
Big Horn Reserve.
 WHITNEY LAKE BIBLE CAMP
Heading into summer, Whitney Lake
Bible Camp had a cabin leader shortage,
especially with males. As we counted down
the days and hours to camp opening, we
saw God miraculously provide more than
enough male leaders from as far away
as Nova Scotia. Some had no previous
connection with our camp. He is so faithful!

T
hus spake King Henry V as he faced his army on St. Crispin's
Day, and thus spake our intrepid leader, Greg, as he faced our
small assembly of team members before the last kids camp of
our season. We were heading into one of our largest camp weeks with
a very small team. That morning, in church, we had prayed God would
send more workers for the kitchen and the boys cabins. Then we received
word that two kitchen workers wouldn't be coming. We had eleven
special diets to cook for, and about 100 campers. We were desperate for
help. So King Henry's speech (from a Shakespearean play) was delivered
to put our focus back on the God who gives the victory, rather than on
our abilities.
Daniel showed up at team meeting. A mature and experienced leader,
he had come to work as a cabin leader. A young, inexperienced Micah
also offered to help. Our three youngest daughters, Robyn, Cheyanne,
and Sarah helped in the kitchen, and another Micah volunteered for the
kitchen, proving to be a dedicated and valuable worker. A wrong number
resulted in Luke coming to work in the kitchen, and Carol to clean.
There’s more! Hearing of our desperation, Katherine came to prepare
gluten-free foods. By the time she arrived, our kitchen was bursting at the
seams and she didn't need to stay!
We were blessed to see how God provided when we felt desperate.
We had had fleeting thoughts of calling a cabin of boys and telling them
not to come, because we lacked the team, but that week we welcomed
eleven souls into God's kingdom. Surely, He provides for His work.
At week’s end, we again quoted Shakespeare’s King Henry, with
alterations: “And gentlemen in Alberta now abed shall think themselves
accurs'd they were not here, and hold their manhoods cheap whiles any
speaks that fought with us in Kids 4 camp.”

from this summer.
Our week in Shilo was different than anticipated. We expected about 20
campers, as in past years. To our surprise, the first day produced only five.
I say I believe that numbers aren’t what matter in ministry; if only one
person hears the Gospel, a good work is being done. But that week, I more
fully understood that truth. Four of the five campers had never heard
the story of Jesus and were hungry for it! They were so drawn to the story

Each morning, the full-time missionaries and those who had already
joined the team for the spring asked God to provide workers for the
upcoming summer. There were many holes to be filled and it was becoming
a bit stressful.
One morning, someone prayed that God’s will be done and that He would
provide the right number of people and the best people for the positions.
At that point, more and more applications came in and interviews began.
Not only was God providing needed summer missionaries, but He was
assuring those He had called of His provision.
God put together one of the best teams to do His work this summer,
because we trusted Him to provide the best.

E
arly in the year it became evident we could not, in good conscience,
proceed with our federal government summer grant application.
There were concerns about how our summer missionaries would
fund their post secondary education without grants, so I challenged them
to trust God. Right away, He gave me wisdom to see this as opportunity,
not tragedy.
For one team member, in her sixth summer at camp, it opened the door
to a new position; her assistant to the director position wouldn’t have been
possible had we relied on the proposed grant positions. Another team
member planned to finish her online university degree and couldn’t work
full-time hours, so we created a part-time position as supervisor and set
the hours to suit her needs, rather than grant hours. Eight team members
returned, despite having no guaranteed support. We also had part-time
summer missionaries and volunteers.
Leading up to summer, everyone on our team kept saying, “We got this!”
That expression became central in our approach to ministry, reassuring us
that with God’s enabling we could do what He’d called us to do. We were
really short-staffed and had to work harder than ever, but got the work done,
often in record time. We were blessed to draw closer to God because we did
ministry in His strength, not ours. We saw lives changed in a deeper way—
ours and the campers’. Summer missionaries were thrilled to lead many to
the Lord and saw the eternal rewards of ministry in a new light.

BY LYDIA MARR, PROGRAM ADMINISTRATOR

Hearing God's Voice

T
his summer we were reminded that, even though we relied on government summer grants in the past, we need
to rely on God instead. After much prayer, we decided to take a leap of faith and share the camp’s financial need
with supporters and church family. We were overwhelmed by the response.
One family brought tears to my eyes when they showed up at our door with a donation for the camp. The father
had given many of his teenage summers to being a camp counselor, and now their two boys attend every summer.
The family had prayed about our financial need; not only did
the parents donate, but the boys had set aside their allowances
over time to thank the camp for its input into their lives.
Because of families like this, our summer missionaries were
able to share God’s love with over 380 campers.
One girl who attended three weeks of camp came with zero
knowledge of God. By her third week, she told her counselor
she wanted to ask Jesus to be her personal Savior. “I feel like I
heard God’s voice, and I am so excited,” she said.
Blessings like these kept us going. We are grateful and
humbled to remember that God not only shows up in
relationships, but in financial needs as well.

Alices’
Story
 His Mercies Are
New Every Morning
by Sandi Killeen, Program and Day Camp Manager, Hampton Bible Camp, NB
A lice Fortin-Hamm was born in northern
Manitoba to a French Canadian man
and a First Nations woman. Following
her father’s suicide and the collapse of her
family structure, Alice lived at a home for children run
by the Northern Canada Evangelical Mission (NCEM) in
Montreal Lake, SK, from age seven and a half until she
graduated from high school in 1968.
Alice recalls that the NCEM staff would truck a group
of children from Montreal Lake, to Carrot River, to
Torch Trail Bible Camp—a journey of over four hours.
“It was a very long ride in the back of an older truck on
gravel roads, but our excitement bolstered us.”
Sleeping on a straw tick mattress . . . watching
heat lightning through cracks in the cabin roof . . .
swimming for the first time in a real pool . . . having
fun . . . absorbing kindness from caring counselors
. . . being instructed in God’s Word under trees at the
meadow’s edge—all became part of Alice’s camp
memories. “The stories and life lessons were interesting
and became part of my spiritual fiber,” she said. Alice
attended Torch Trail Bible Camp four times, experiences
which reinforced and augmented the Bible teaching
she received in the NCEM home where she had
accepted Christ as a child.
Alice attended Caronport High School (now Briercrest
Christian Academy), a private school run in partnership
with Briercrest Bible Institute (now Briercrest College
and Seminary). She describes graduating from Caronport
as being like “taking a tomato plant out of a hot house.”
Outside that sheltered spiritual climate, her relationship
with the Lord faltered. Alice said, while she regrets the
time that could have been spent obeying and having
fellowship with God, she has seen God offer endless
mercy and faithfulness, and uncountable opportunities to
correct life’s detours. Although she wandered from Him,
He never lost His grip on her.
In her fiftieth year, Alice visited her brother and sister-
in-law, both Christians. As she sat outside drinking her
morning coffee, the crisp air, bird sounds, and peaceful
silence gave her the feeling of being at Bible camp.
She went inside, opened her sister-in-law’s Bible, and
read John 15:1-2: “I am the true vine, and My Father is the
gardener. He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no
fruit.” This convicted her and she re-dedicated her life to
Jesus on her fiftieth birthday.
Alice has seen God work through camp ministry in her
life and in that of her grandson, who received Jesus at an
overnight Bible camp last year. She has seen Proverbs 22:6
to be true: “Train up a child in the way he should go; and
when he is old he will not depart from it.”

T
his summer we participated in the Lord’s work of helping hurting
people. On reserves north of us, we conducted an adult grief and
loss camp, sharing the Gospel with those who seemed to have no
hope. We also dealt with suicide.
Whether in sessions on tough topics, sharing testimonies, or meeting
for chapel, the theme always pointed to Christ and what He has done for
us. We saw people returning to hopeless situations, but with the hope of
Jesus Christ in their hearts. We heard of a man going home after camp
and of his buddies coming
over to party. He told them
he does not live that way
anymore.
Such life changes are only
due to the work of Christ.
We dare not take credit—we
just get amazing opportunities
to be used by the Lord in
His work.

O
ne of my favorite things about Stoney Lake Bible Camp is seeing
cabin leaders zero in on campers with truth that only the Gospel
can deliver. One first-year cabin leader told me with unbridled
excitement that her entire cabin of junior girls had put their trust in Jesus
Christ. That kind of news helps remove the sting of everyday challenges.
Yes, camping presents many challenges—some good, and others not
so good. For example, there is no easy

dread started somewhere deep inside me. All four girls’ cabins were booked with
campers excited to come, with more on the waiting list. But I had only one team
member to lead them and no idea where to look for more. I felt we had filled these
cabins by faith, had done everything we knew to do, and had to leave the rest to
God. That is what I told myself and, after a few more panicky moments, realized it
was true because God had given me peace.
As I waited, God brought together an amazing team in His time—a volunteer
here, a phone call there, and on the day before camp, the final team member.
What an amazing summer, watching the team working and playing with campers,
seeing their eyes shine as they shared the amazement of God using them to lead
others to Christ. God not only met our needs, but exceeded my expectations; through
His power we affected many lives, not just for the summer, but for eternity.

O
n the last night of teen camp, many of our 24 campers shared from their hearts
around the campfire. One testimony influenced everyone. “Jeremy” said his
life was ordinary and boring.
The truth is, none of these teens are average or boring. We have known most of them
since they were very young, and they have been the source of our greatest ministry
joys. They have worked alongside us, teaching younger day campers the daily Bible
verse, leading songs, and even telling the missionary story. They kept the camp running
last summer when my wife’s father died. Through them, the Lord has encouraged us
to keep going. These young volunteers are challenged to do things they never thought
they could, and are now involved in children’s ministry in their churches.
One volunteer loves camp so much she wants to be the next camp director when
Lori and I retire. This summer, when she purchased a new phone and case, she had

recently had the privilege of teaching Romans to a second year Bible
college class. In it, Paul paints a picture of the world’s desperate state,
where God has clearly revealed Himself through creation but we have
chosen to ignore God, the Creator of everything. We prefer worshipping
ourselves and other created things. Because of people’s ignorance and
resistance towards Him, God gives them over to their desires, which results
in idolatry, immorality, and reprobate minds incapable of thinking logically
in the spiritual realm. In many ways, this description in Romans 1 is an
accurate portrayal of our Canadian context.
What hope do we have? What is the answer to this downward trajectory?
Is it an absolutely hopeless situation or is there a silver lining somewhere?
The answer is clear. There is more than a silver lining—there is a marvellous
hope for the world, for our nation. The answer is in Jesus and His Gospel,
the whole point of Romans. Though we find ourselves in a desperate state,
Paul reminds us that the Gospel is the power of God for salvation to all who
put their faith in Jesus alone. For those who are made new by the Spirit of
Jesus, all condemnation is removed.
What great news. What great hope. What a stunning message. This Gospel,
the message of Jesus and His redemptive work on the cross, is the message
we gladly, eagerly, and boldly share.
It is the one hope for Canada!
