Conference news: C2C appointments

New C2C Network national associate director appointed

C2C Network national director Gord Fleming is pleased to announce the appointment of Mark Burch to the position of C2C Network national associate director, effective Oct. 1, 2013.

Mark brings passion and experience to the position, having served in the past as the associate director of church planting in British Columbia.

His experience as a pastor, most recently at Maple Ridge Baptist Church, and his education at Briercrest Bible College, ACTS Seminaries, and Bakke Graduate University, Seattle, have well equipped Mark to enter into his new role.

C2C Network Manitoba regional director named

Ewald Unruh, currently C2C Network national associate director, will transition to the position of C2C Network Manitoba regional director effective Oct. 1, 2013. The C2C Manitoba board and the Mennonite Brethren Church of Manitoba’s leadership board support the appointment of Ewald Unruh to this position.

“Ewald will be a great asset to us,” says Elton DaSilva, MBCM’s executive director, “since he carries a wealth of knowledge in the church planting arena and is familiar with this province. We look forward to what God will do through Ewald’s ministry among us.”

Ewald has served with the Canadian Conference of MB Churches since 1992 in the areas of church planting, evangelism, and leadership development. His passion for church planting and pastoral work has led he and his family to live in Nova Scotia and Saskatchewan.
