CONFERENCE SPEAKER
Jeffrey Thudian
Born in Canada yet raised in India, Jeffrey grew up in a Godly family with a heritage of teachers, preachers and evangelists. Jeffrey returned to Canada for two years of Bible School at Capernwray Harbour, followed by a university education while serving Vancouver Island congregations. In 2016, he joined Capernwray Harbour’s ministry team and was the Director of Studies.
Jeffrey, his wife Tessa, and two young boys now live in Nanaimo, BC, as Jeffrey serves as the Lead Pastor in a local church fellowship. There, they continue to be effectively used by the Lord Jesus in many lives. Jeffrey is passionate about seeing people encounter Jesus and experience transformation through His indwelling life.
CONFERENCE TOPIC
Jonah
Strength in Surrender
The book of Jonah goes far beyond the familiar tale of Jonah’s time in the belly of a great fish. Throughout the weekend, we’ll explore Jonah’s calling, his struggle with surrender, the storms he faced, and the power of repentance and obedience. Discover God’s heart for His people and the lost, and see how His grace and compassion reach even the most reluctant messengers.
This book isn’t just about Jonah—it’s a call for each of us to say “yes” to God’s mission in our lives. In a culture focused on individualism and self-sufficiency, we’ll learn to find strength and true identity in surrendering to God’s purpose. Together, we’ll unpack what it means to participate actively in God’s mission. Join us to gain a fresh vision for your role in God’s unfolding story as we learn to live in the sufficiency of Jesus Christ.
