The Baileys serve in Ft. St. John, BC, where they partner with Aboriginal Christians and other believers to make Christ followers of all nations, through the local church and Christian radio (CIAM network).
How long have you two been a part of NCEM?
It has been 40 years since we were accepted as candidates, following our interview at the Yellowknife conference in August 1980.
Where are some of the places you have ministered?
We have worked in British Columbia at Telegraph Creek, Halfway River First Nation, and Fort St. John, and from 1998 to 2007 we were Western-Field Directors (overseeing missionaries in Alberta, BC, NWT and Yukon).
What ministries are you involved in now?
Currently, we’re focusing on outreach, discipleship, both Bible-based teaching and ESL teaching and radio ministry.
Can you tell us about recent happenings at the Telegraph Creek radio station?
In Telegraph Creek we have been slowly recovering from the forest fire that wiped out half the Reserve and much of our buildings. Plans are in place to replace the radio equipment shed with a 20’ x 30’ building to house the equipment, a studio, and a meeting place.
How have you seen God work in this situation despite those challenges?
We have seen 15 believers and seekers meeting together for Bible study, and they are requesting Bibles.
What are some of the goals you two are working toward in your ministries?
We are praying for men and women to take leadership roles in these ministries, and training toward that goal.
How can we be praying for both you and the people you’re ministering to?
Pray that we would daily deny self, take up our cross and follow Jesus by being filled with the Holy Spirit, remembering that without Him we can do nothing.
