Gary McBride

Gary and his wife Gloria were commended to the Lord’s work in 1980. They spent two years in Zambia and, upon returning to Canada, settled in northern Ontario. For 27 years, they ministered in the north and helped with the operation of Northland Bible Camp. In 2008 they relocated to southern Ontario. In 2017 they moved back north to Kirkland Lake and are involved in itinerant ministry in Assemblies, Camps and Conferences.

Scott DeGroff

Commended from Topeka Gospel Chapel in Topeka, Kansas, Scott has served as a full-time itinerant preacher in North America since 2005. In 2016, sensing a strong burden from the Lord, Scott and his wife, Lynn, refocused to a broader cross-cultural ministry in North America—that of seeing new works established. In 2018, they relocated to Freedom, California, to be part of a new work.

They are involved in ministry to unreached people groups and migrant workers. They work alongside Freedom Teams, a nonprofit organization with a three-fold burden to reach the continent for Christ in this generation through a fresh work that will replicate itself around North America and beyond. The DeGroff’s have two adult children.
