Margaret was born and raised in Red Deer, Alberta, the youngest of five. Although her family did not regularly attend church she had a Christian, loving, fair and disciplined upbringing.
Margaret had 5 children, 10 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. After living in BC for several years, she returned home to Red Deer to care for her mother, who struggled for 10 years with ever changing Alzheimer’s disease.
Vicki, Margaret’s third child also lived in Red Deer, and made it her mission to bring Margaret to actively know Christ. Within two years Margaret was baptized and knew Christ was in her heart. Vicki has since been called home to be with the Father.
Margaret’s experience of reading five versions of the Bible has aided in bringing about “Our Bible Study”. This book is a labour of love and has helped Margaret stay strong in her 22 years of battling cancer.
Joan Bates
Joan was born in a small town in Northern Ontario but came out to Alberta, with her family, when she was only six, to live on a farm just outside the village of Thorhild. After graduation, Joan’s career followed several paths, usually in the administrative field. She raised two daughters, mostly on her own, and at this time has two wonderful grandchildren. Joan has lived in several Alberta towns and cities and attended different churches along the way in her search for a Christian way of life. She believed that God was watching over her in her struggles along the way and guided her to the true friendship she found with Margaret.
Joan wasn’t raised in a Christian home, but her mother did believe in the intrinsic values of the faith and thereby instilling in her children a good base with which to live their lives.показать меньше
