Gary grew up in Hartland, NB, and Christina in Quispamsis, NB. They now serve full-time with One Hope Canada (formerly Canadian Sunday School Mission/CSSM Ministries).

Gary joined One Hope Canada after graduating from New Brunswick Bible Institute, in 1990, as the Assistant Director at Hampton Bible Camp. Christina joined him after her own graduation from NBBI, acceptance to the mission, and their marriage in 1992.

Gary and Christian changed roles in the fall of 1995 to direct another CSSM camp: Cape Breton Bible Camp. They sensed the Lord changing their ministry focus and resigned from Cape Breton Bible Camp at the end of 1999. Then in April 2000, Gary began his nine years of ministry as the CSSM's Atlantic Branch Director. During the summers of those nine years, Gary and Christina spoke at CSSM Camps and held VBSs for local churches, except for the summer of 2006 when Gary directed Hampton Bible Camp. Gary resigned from the Atlantic Branch Director position in 2009 and spent a year as the branch office administrator.

From 2010 to 2015, Gary and Christina ministered as Itinerant Missionaries taking opportunities to share the gospel and disciple in various places, including their community Middle School where Gary served as a mentor. Gary also spoke and continues to speak regularly in children and youth ministries in local churches.

Each summer has brought a new adventure for them over the past 30 years, serving in leadership at all six One Hope Canada Atlantic camps and directing the five Maritime camps for at least one season. The 2026 season will be their twelth summer directing Sandy Cove Bible Camp. No matter where they are, their ministry includes teaching God’s Word through music, drama, ventriloquism, and more.

Gary and Christina now reside in Somerville, NB, where Gary grew up. They have four adult children and four grandchildren.

Born and raised in Ontario, Amy served at New Life Camp in some capacity for ten summers. She came to New Brunswick in 2016 to attend New Brunswick Bible Institute (NBBI). After graduating from NBBI in 2020 and serving as Program Leader for the summer of 2020, Amy officially became a missionary with One Hope Canada as Sandy Cove’s first-ever Program Manager. She is responsible for developing, managing, and expanding the programs that Sandy Cove has to offer.

Since Amy was 15, she has taught swimming lessons and became a lifeguard at 16. She is excited to expand the use of SCBC’s waterfront and head up the Swim Program by partnering with the Lifesaving Society. 

Amy loves the Lord, children, and water. She is excited to use the gifts that God has given her to serve Him at SCBC.
