Howard and Kathy Weir

Supported since 1993

  • Howard and Kathy’s key role is to train & coach missionaries on effective personal support-raising. This will require one-on-one time, especially with new missionaries.  We will also work with the mission to develop and implement recruitment strategies that would encourage people to consider year-round ministry opportunities. This will include nurturing, encouraging & supporting any new missionary candidate through the recruitment process and into their ministry roles.  Along with this will be the opportunity to assist with planning OHC fundraiser events and being available to coach & mentor camp directors as needed.

Cam and Emily McLean

Starting support for 2024

  • SENDING COUNTRY: CANADA

    SERVING IN: MEXICO

    SENDING CHURCH: FAITH BAPTIST CHURCH, MOUNT FOREST, ON

    MINISTRY: LANGUAGE & CULTURE STUDY

    Both Cam and Emily are from rural Ontario and grew up in Christian homes where they heard the testimonies of missionaries from around the world. From an early age, they both felt that God was leading them to share the good news of the gospel in a cross-cultural context.

    Cam attended Word of Life Bible Institute (Owen Sound, ON & Schroon Lake, NY) before graduating from the Ethnos Canada training program in 2016. He went on to study linguistics at Ethnos360’s campus in Missouri before serving in Colombia for a year in 2019. Emily attended New Brunswick Bible Institute and studied nursing at the University of Western Ontario before serving in Chile with the Gospel Mission of South America. Although they had known each other since high school, Cam and Emily’s relationship began while they lived 4,500 kms apart. In God’s perfect timing, they were married in 2020 in their sending church Mount Forest, ON. While Emily completed the Ethnos Canada training program in 2022, Cam finished his MA in Linguistics and Translation through Trinity Western University.

    Cam and Emily moved to Mexico in September 2023 to begin language study. Their goal is to partner with the national church to establish thriving indigenous churches in Mexico through linguistics and Bible translation.

Anonymous Missionaries

Maple Hill supports other missionaries through Power to Change. We cannot identify these missionaries for their safety. These missionaries may need your prayer support even more, as the persecution of Christians is high in the countries where they minister.
