Program Guide 2015 Web
2015 Program Guide Summer@MBC Your MBC family tradition begins here! “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.” Philippians 1:6 NLT Renew Connect Equip Summer@MBC Our MBC team is fully committed to making your stay a truly unforgettable and life changing experience. To that end we have put together this Program Guide so that you can get the most out of your stay with us. Please be sure to connect with one of our team members if you need clarity on any of the options available to you and your family. Our theme this year focuses on ‘The Promises of God’. This builds on last year’s theme of getting to know the God in whom we believe. The promise only becomes meaningful when we understand the One who made the promise. We can put our confidence in His promises because we can say along with Paul ‘for I know the One in Whom I trust’ (2 Timothy 1:12). May you also take some time during your stay to consider how you could help support this ministry financially. The ministry activities (adult teaching, kids and youth programming) are all supported by donations alone. Your gift can help cover these costs and ensure that the programming content remains robust and ever increasing in its Kingdom impact. Thank you. For information on our donation priorities and process, please check out the Muskoka Bible Foundation website: http://www.muskokabiblefoundation.com May you feel blessed as we enjoy serving you this summer!

Ryan Richardson – www.bemediasafe.com 20 Adult Ministry Schedule Week 1: July 4-11 Sunday morning, Monday - Friday evenings Robbie Symons is the founding Pastor of Harvest Bible Chapel Oakville. His greatest passion is to see Jesus Christ glorified as people realize their potential through His amazing power. Harvest Bible Chapel Oakville has witnessed tremendous grace from God in its growth from a Bible study with 18 people in 2003 to over 3000 today, and has witnessed the overflow of His grace in the planting of vibrant churches across Canada in Brampton (2009), Niagara (2011) Toronto West (2013), Brantford (2014) and Kelowna (2014). Robbie holds a B.A. from Wilfrid Laurier University and a M.Div. from McMaster University. He and his wife Gillian live with their four children in Burlington, Ontario. Sunday evening, Monday - Friday mornings It took a tragic sports injury to bring Ian Hales to a place of humble submission before God. But through that trial, Ian learned that God must be his one and only pursuit. After he surrendered his whole life to Christ without reservation, the call to ministry was made clear to him. Ian received his BA from York University and his Masters of Divinity from The Master’s Seminary. Ian’s greatest desire is to see God glorified. His prayer is that God will use Harvest Durham to be a pillar of truth in the Durham region – that the preaching of God’s Word would transform believers in that area and bring them to maturity in Christ. Ian and his wife Sarah were married in 2003 and are parents to Karis and Joshua. Music Leader: Luis Vargas Live @ MBC: High Valley (See Page 5) Promise: Plans Memory Verse: Isaiah 46:10 21 Adult Ministry Schedule Week 2: July 11-18 Sunday morning, Monday - Friday evenings Dom Ruso's leadership gifts and passion for making the Bible relevant are a key part of his role as Lead Pastor of Temple Baptist, Sarnia. It does not take long to notice his deep passion for the church and for what Jesus can do when his people truly surrender themselves to the values of God's Kingdom. Dom grew up in Montreal and it's in that eclectic context that he sensed God's leading to pursue the call to full time ministry. While Director of High School ministries at a vibrant church in Calgary, Dom completed his Masters degree in Early Church Studies. Soon after, God's leading provided an opportunity for Dom to lead a campus community in Waterloo while beginning doctoral studies in Historical Theology. Dom is married to Beverly who is a Sarnia native and they have three wonderful boys.

Did you know that all of our ministry programming is completely funded through donations? Yes, it’s true. Your fees for accommodation, meals and such cover the operating and facility costs but the adult, youth and children’s programming is covered by donations from people like you who participate and also many others who don’t attend but believe in what God is doing here. Please consider a gift this summer to help support the ministry that you are enjoying. We encourage our MBF Builders to join us for our Builders Luncheon on Saturday, August 8th.
