Child Evangelism Fellowship will hold CYIA Training on NBBI campus from Sunday, July 1 to Friday, July 6, 2012.

For the past nine years I have had the blessing of working with Child Evangelism Fellowship in Northern Maine. God has given us a tremendous responsibility to reach the lost and it is our passion in CEF to reach children with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Each year hundreds of boys and girls are presented with the message of salvation through various CEF sponsored ministries.

As a child, I was exposed to many CEF ministries. As I reached my teen and young adult years, I had the privilege to serve in various ministries such as Awana, Word of Life Clubs and others. One thing that I found invaluable was the training that I had received during my early teen years. For two summers, I attended a training camp called “Christian Youth In Action.” I was challenged to have a heart for the lost, to develop my relationship with the Lord, and to have confidence when sharing my faith.

One of our greatest goals is not only to share the gospel, but to equip others with the training and tools to do the same. Christ Himself said that He came for the lost and the need is as great today as it was then. CEF of Canada and CEF of Maine have partnered to bring Christian Youth In Action training to New Brunswick. NBBI has graciously agreed to host the CYIA training on their campus. CYIA is an intense training program that provides youth with the How-to’s of giving a clear and thorough presentation of the gospel while also providing opportunities to gain hands on experience.

The program is designed for ages 15 and up and will be held from Sunday, July 1 to Friday, July 6, 2012. If you would like to know more about CYIA or request brochures and applications, feel free to contact Alex Bourgoin at: (207) 425-2471, (207) 227-5411 or visit our link at: http://cefofmaine.org.

Glenn and Flora Duff

Glenn Duff (MAY 23, 1925 – AUGUST 9, 2011)

For over 30 years Glenn Duff served as the Chairman of the New Brunswick Bible Institute Board of Directors. His leadership is remembered fondly by the board, staff, alumni and friends of NBBI. Glenn was no stranger to hard work. He was a busy dairy and potato farmer, and yet, he always made himself available to those who served under him. He was a leader who listened, and was impartial and unbiased in his judgments. He lifted many a barrel physically and many a burden spiritually. As a man of faith, Glenn began every NBBI board meeting by asking us to get on our knees in prayer. At times, midway through a meeting, he would have the board seek the wisdom of God through prayer.

Glenn was a christian role model in his love for his wife Flora, and an example of integrity to his children and grandchildren. He loved good music and must have smiled from heaven as a quartet of his grandsons gave a wonderful, Christ exalting, rendition and a choir of his grandchildren sang beautifully and harmoniously, “Great is thy Faithfulness.” His brother George spoke eloquently at the memorial service and addressed the truth that, in God’s sight, serving faithfully in the fields is equally as important as serving as a full-time Christian worker. Truly Glenn was “a man of the soil” and “a man of the spirit.”

Pastor Paul Juris, in a heartfelt message, commended Glenn and Flora for their faithful attendance at Church meetings, especially the prayer meeting. He also ex- pressed gratitude for their home being a centre of hospitality; but he made it clear, Heaven was Glenn’s final home because he had placed his trust in the work of the crucified, and risen Christ.

Glenn was loved by all our staff, for his personal interest in each of us and for his unswerving commitment to the “training of young people” to serve Christ. He had a special place in his heart for NBBI’s Campus View Farm, as farm managers, Clarence Knowles and Rob Burns would testify.He believed that the farm played an important part in the training of young people in teaching “the discipline of daily duty.” Glenn never lost sight of the importance of the individual staff members as he directed the pursuit of the organization’s goals.

I found Glenn Duff to be a man who did not faint but fought on, in faith. A small gift which was given to a staff member by Glenn has inscribed upon it the words that I believe express Glenn Duff’s honest lifestyle, “ One day at a time, only one person to please – the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Our heartfelt prayers and love go out to his wife, Flora and all his beloved family. Along with them, we will miss his presence here on earth but rejoice that He is in the presence of the Lord Jesus with whom he walked his life- long journey and whose fellowship he now enjoys “face to face.”

Remember to set aside October 21-22, 2011 for our Ladies’ Conference with Gracia Burnham. We will also enjoy testimonies, special music and great fellowship.

Gracia Burnham is the widow of Martin Burnham and the mother of Jeff, Mindy and Zach. For 17 years she and Martin served with New Tribes Mission in the Philippines where Martin was a jungle pilot delivering mail, supplies and encouragement to other missionaries, and transporting sick and injured patients to medical facilities. Gracia served in various roles supporting the aviation program and also home-schooled their children–all of whom were born in the Philippines.

While celebrating their 18th wedding anniversary at Dos Palmas Resort off Palawan Island, the Burnhams were kidnapped on May 27, 2001, by the Abu Sayyaf Group, a militant group of Muslims. They seized several more guests and took them to Basilan Island, an ASG stronghold. In the ensuing months some of the hostages were killed, but most were set free. From November 2001, only the Burnhams and one ther hostage remained in captivity. During their 376 days of captivity, they faced near starvation, constant exhaustion, frequent gun battles, coldhearted murder and intense soul-searching about a God who sometimes seemed to have forgotten them. On June 7, 2002, in a firefight between the Philippine military and the Abu Sayyaf Group, Martin was killed. Gracia was wounded, but was freed.

Since that time Gracia has authored two books, In the Presence of My Enemies, and To Fly Again. Her oldest son, Jeff, and his wife, Sarah, have accepted an assignment with Flying Mission Services in Botswana, Africa. Mindy is now married to Andy Hedvall, a “missionary kid” from South America. Mindy has completed her course of study at New Tribes Bible Institute in Waukesha, WI and Andy continues in his training there. Zachary is attending Butler County Community College on a voice scholarship. Gracia resides in Rose Hill, Kansas. Because of her unique story, Gracia is a popular speaker for churches, conferences and schools.

Looking forward to seeing you here!

FEBRUARY 18-20 AND FEBRUARY 25-27

Don’t miss this exciting and challenging annual event for young people ages 13 to 18 (grades 7-12). Teens will be involved in various indoor and outdoor activities such as relay games, three-on-three basketball, table games, tubing and more.

Our guest speaker, Wayne Heikkinen was born in rural Maine and received Christ at a Daily Vacation Bible School at the age of 6. His family was involved in their local church and upon Wayne’s graduation from Wayside Christian Academy, he enrolled at New Brunswick Bible Institute. At NBBI, Wayne met his life partner, Sandy and felt his call to ministry. Wayne spent time as a youth pastor in Nova Scotia and, for 23 years after that, represented Word of Life Local Church Ministries. In 2002, God led Wayne to Rock Mills Fellowship Baptist Church as Pastor. For the past years, Wayne has had the wonderful privilege of sharing in the revitalization process of this local church. The emphasis of spiritual leadership, biblical discipleship and equipping the saints produced a commitment to reaching out to the community. God has blessed this ministry. Wayne and Sandy make their home across the road from Lake Eugenia in Ontario and love to spend time with their 3 grown children (2 are married), 4 grandchildren and their dog and they enjoy gardening, landscaping, walking, travelling and entertaining.

You will also be hearing various NBBI faculty members, as they share from God’s Word during our class times and our NBBI musical groups as they share in song throughout these weekends.

Pastor Bob Snell and his wife Joanne

Guest Speaker: Pastor Bob Snell

Pastor Snell assumed senior pastoral responsibilities at First Baptist Church in Waterloo, Ontario in January 2001. He provides oversight to a congregation committed to spiritually and eternally impacting peoples’ lives. He and his wife, Joanne, have 4 daughters.

Pastor Snell has enjoyed 27 years of ministry in Waterloo and Simcoe. He’s an Honours B.A. graduate from the University of Guelph and holds a M.Div. degree from London Baptist Bible College and Seminary. He has travelled worldwide in missionary ministry and frequently speaks at Bible Conferences, Youth Retreats and Bible Colleges and Seminaries.

Presently he serves as a member of the Word of Life Canada Board of Directors as well as Advisory Council for A.B.W.E. (Across Borders for World Evangelism). For relaxation he enjoys playing hockey, softball and golf.

Gregg Ernst and his four sons

OneBlood is an acappella quintet consisting of Gregg Ernst and four of his sons Joshua, John, Peter and Elijah. These men sing motets, hymns, spirituals, and gospel songs in four and five part harmony. In their music, they attempt to give Christians a renewed sense of God’s love, beauty, and grace, and non-Christians a view of God’s reality, holiness, and truth.

OneBlood formed in 2009 to be the touring subgroup of the Ernst Family. This family has been performing since 2001, appearing on national radio and television, releasing three CD’s, and touring the Maritimes, Ontario, and Northeastern USA.

Gregg farms on the First Peninsula near Lunenburg, Nova Scotia and is also a professional blacksmith. At his shop, the ironworks for the Bluenose and Bluenose II were forged. Greg was a participant in the World’s Strongest Man competitions. He still holds the official world record for the back lift of 5,340 pounds. More importantly than being an iron-man, Gregg is a Christian man who seeks to live for and serve His Lord Jesus Christ.

MFG 2010 - Fire Department Presentations

Several hundred men from the Maritimes, New England and as far away as Saskatchewan flooded onto the NBBI campus for a challenging, yet rewarding, Men for God Rally this weekend. Lives were touched, as Dr. Michael Loftis, President of ABWE- Harrisburg, opened the Word of God and spoke directly, without hesitation, to our attentive men.

Tremendous fellowship, great food, uplifting music and good open laughter were enjoyed by each man who attended. High Meadow Quartet ministered with great effectiveness during each rally.  What a taste of heaven!

A friendly "Hose Rolling" competition

The Firefighter theme was a huge success as area firemen demonstrated the jaws of life, thermal imaging equipment and firefighter skills.  The Hartland Fire Department used the rescue equipment in our gymnasium to completely cut apart a car, and carry it piece by piece outdoors… all in under 20 minutes! The Woodstock Fire Team used a thermal imaging camera to “rescue” a man in a dark, smoke-filled room off stage, while a video feed from the camera was shown on the big screen in the auditorium.

Dr. Michael Loftis challenged us to be "Battle Ready Men."

NBBI seized this opportunity to make presentations and show our support to both the Hartland and Woodstock firemen, for their dedicated and tireless service to our communities.

Here, in the final rally, Dr. Loftis challenges the men to the key of spiritual success.  Now, we must “steal away” and reflect upon all that God has done in and through His faithful servant.

What a GREAT weekend!
