CONFERENCE SPEAKER
Stephen Thiessen
Trained at Capernwray Harbour’s Bible School for two years, Stephen sought to discover the “truth” – Jesus Christ Himself, the God of the Bible and Eternity. This training began a life-changing journey of learning, growing and serving effectively in the Torchbearers ministry in Canada for nearly 20 years in various roles.
God continues to effectively use, equip, and keep Stephen as he trusts in the Lord, however small or big the task at hand. Stephen operates a sustainably grown food farm on Vancouver Island with his wife and five children while pastoring a growing church congregation on Gabriola Island. Stephen’s journey continues to be that of a servant seeing God bring hope to the hopeless, healing to the sick and wholeness to broken lives as the Gospel is lived out and proclaimed.
CONFERENCE TOPIC
The Book of James
Putting our Faith into Practice
When we welcome the work of Jesus Christ into our lives, it begins with a change of heart. But this change is merely the beginning of a transformation that God desires to affect every part of our lives, inside and out. The book of James is filled with timely reminders, of what it means to “put your faith into practice” and how God longs to be glorified in everything we say and do. Together we will see how God is at work, perfecting HIS people through testing, trials, suffering, and surrender, and how embracing this journey leads to true joy.
