FOUNDING DIRECTOR

Cal brings a lifetime of experience to his role as Founding Director at Shekinah Glory Outreach. At the age of 17 Cal followed his father’s footsteps and spent 5 out of 8 years in and out of prison. During his time in Dorchester Penitentiary Cal watched a Billy Graham crusade on TV. Cal pleaded with God for help and vowed to follow God the rest of his days if He would help him. That night, being led by the words of Billy Graham, Cal accepted God into His heart and his life changed forever.

Upon his release in 1985 Cal worked for two years at the Mitchell Family Christian book store in Toronto, Ontario. In 1987 he returned to Moncton, New Brunswick as a self-employed painter.

Cal began his outreach in the east end of Moncton NB as the new Director of New Life Mission in July of 1989. New Life Mission had a primary focus in youth ministry. As Cal grew and developed this outreach he began to realize that he had a heart for older youth and adults. In early 1997 Cal branched off to start a new outreach with the blessing of the board of directors. This new outreach quickly came to be known as Harvest House Atlantic. Over the next 25 years Harvest House Atlantic grew from a simple shelter with mattresses on the floor to providing a stable Shelter environment, Step-up Housing, and long-term addiction recovery.

With the blessing of the Board of Directors of Harvest House Atlantic, in March of 2022, Cal moved on to begin Shekinah Glory Outreach. The mission of Shekinah Glory Outreach is to work with Pastors and Spiritual Leaders to provide faith-based outreach opportunities to bring hope to those in need. Through this outreach we will encourage recovery, spiritual growth and connection with the local Church.

BOARD MEMBER

Wills roots go back to a small fishing village on the Southwestern Shore of Nova Scotia. (Ingomar)

Being the son of a fisherman meant finding out what work was at a very young age.

He always gives credit to his Mother for showing him the way but it was at a special Church service in his home community that he went forward at the age of 13 when the preacher encouraged those listening to the message to insert their name as apposed to “the world” in John 3:16. It has been a journey ever since.

Will attended Bethany Bible college known today as Kingswood University. After that he entered the Transportation industry where he worked at CN Rail for 35 years. After he retired from there he did Logistics work for several USA Companies and then started is own Business selling Sea Containers which he has now transitioned to his youngest son Neil.

Will has 4 children. 3 boys and 1 step daughter. (one of Wills boys passed away when he was 23)

Will lost his wife Brenda to cancer in 2018.

Will has been involved in what he refers to as Street Ministry starting in Yarmouth NS along with several locations in Ontario and here in New Brunswick. In recent years involvement has been more from financial support, than hands on.

Will has served on the Board of Moncton Christian Academy and is presently on the Moncton Chaplaincy Board.

Will has a burden for those who struggle and need to rise above them no matter what those struggles are. His main goal now is to help wherever he can.

There are so many great organizations that have a vision to do just that and that is why he is excited to support Shekinah Glory Outreach.
