of Campbellville will be
coming to Exeter
Nov. 10.
Exeter is a long
way from his
place of birth on a
farm in the south
of Ireland, but he
is a man with a
mission. In fact he
holds the office of
General Director
and Treasurer of
the Faith Mission
in Canada.
2002 marked the 75th
anniversary of the work
of this respected mission
in this country. The vision
started well over 100
years ago among devout
Christians in
Great Britain who
have since sent
missionaries
throughout the
world. The work
in Canada is
based out of an
excellent
camp/retreat cen-
tre near Guelph
where summer
and snow camps
are held for young people
along with adult retreats
and gatherings.
John and his wife Isobel
administer the centre
where they raised their
three boys.
John, who spent many
years as an evangelist in
England, Ireland and
Scotland, brings a fresh
and clear message con-
cerning the world, soci-
ety, it’s problems and the
solution.
John will be speaking
Nov. 10 at 11 a.m. and 7
p.m. and each night
through the week at 7:30
p.m. (excluding Saturday
evening) and then at both
services Nov. 17.
All meetings will be held
at Exeter Bible Chapel at
187 Huron St. W.
