Stan & Sally Bragg
The Braggs have worked among the people of the Saugeen First Nation since 2006. They remain actively involved in mentoring and walking together with First Nation leaders, supporting and encouraging them as they lead their communities and seek to follow Jesus. Living out Christ's message of reconciliation, Stan and Sally are allowing God to use them and their years of experience as they seek to be a bridge from the indigenous community to their home church in Port Elgin and the surrounding area. Their desire is to be a part of the healing process between these communities in their context.

Michael Van Oostveen
My name is Michael Van Oostveen. I grew up in UTMC for 18 years of my life. I am very blessed to have grown up in a great church and in the town of Mitchell. When I was 20years old, I went to Australia and studied with “Youth with A Mission” (YWAM). While I was studying in their Discipleship Training School, I felt the Lord call me to fulltime missions. In the years 2015-2022 I served in Guatemala with the “Arms of Jesus Children’s Mission”. Early on, I learned to speak Spanish which permitted me to serve in greater capacity in the mission school.
The Lord has planted a deep seed of love for Guatemala in my heart and has placed a clear call on my life for these people. I am now as of 2023, going to serve with YWAM. I will be serving in street
ministries, bible ministries, children/family ministries and helping with the various schools they have. I am excited for this new chapter ahead and will be trusting in the Lord to continue leading my life in service to HIM.

He desires to walk out the good news of Jesus in the community, to help the youth reach their full potential.
