Rev. Wes Bredenhof
Langley, B.C., Canada
|
Rev.
Wes Bredenhof has a long history with Reformation Christian Ministries becoming
a board member of the Canadian board in 1997 and becoming part of the
International board in 2008.
He first came in contact with us as a college student from Edmonton during
1992 visiting with other young people from the Canadian Reformed Churches of
Edmonton and Langley, British Columbia, to Suriname. These students
participated in a construction project assisting in the building of our school
in Suriname. |

of former African slaves that escaped to the interior of Suriname and lived as Africans
until slavery was abolished whereafter they gradually began to interact more
with the colonists and mixed race people. |

Picture right: Young people from western Canada, primarily Edmonton, Alberta
and Langely, British Columbia, who visited Suriname during 1992 from the
Canadian Reformed Church. During their trip they assisted in building a school
building but also were taken around the country and into some interior areas to
meet with some of the various tribal people of the country. They are standing in
front of the Christian Liberty Academy school building, which also served as the
meeting place for the First Presbyterian Church. He informed us later that this trip made a lasting impression upon him and
helped him decide that after his theological training, he wanted to enter the
field of missions. |
|
After completing college in Edmonton and his seminary education at the
Canadian Reformed Theological Seminary in Toronto, he accepted a call to be a
missionary to the Native American Babine Nation and was posted to Ft. Babine,
BC, about 100 miles north of Smithers, BC in Canada.

Canadian Reformed Church of Langley, BC.
