Leader Bio:
I was born and grew-up in rural eastern Ontario. As a child I trusted Jesus as my saviour. I was baptized
in my early teen years. As a teenager I had encouragement from people within my Church to be
involved in gospel ministry. In 1986 I joined a Gospel music group and played drums with them for seven
years. The people in the group were fine Christian people and they were a great encouragement to
me in my faith. The exposure to public ministry; the ups and downs, the hard-work and the rewards all
contributed toward preparing me for pastoral ministry.
I attended and graduated from Eastern Pentecostal Bible College in 1992 with a Bachelor of Theology
degree. That summer I married. The following winter my wife, Doris, and I went to North Brook, ON
where I was the pastor for six and a half years. In that time we were blessed with three sons; Nathan,
Benjamin and Isaac. In 2001 we came to the northern gateway to a town called Markstay. I served as the
pastor for four and a half years. My wife, Doris, has always been a great help with music ministry and encouragement to myself and others in our church.
In the summer of 2010 I helped serve the pulpit at Kipling Baptist Church. In October of that year I came
here as the full-time pastor. I first heard of Kipling Baptist Church in 2001 when I met some Christians
from here. They talked of their DVBS program, and a place called Camp Norland, located on the same
Deer Lake as the church property. That summer we brought our oldest son to camp. Not being familiar
with the area my wife and I continued driving to see where the road went. As I came past the Church
building the thought entered my mind, “How could someone not be inspired here.” I never gave it
anymore thought until years later when I was looking for a place to worship with other Christians. It was
then that we first came to Kipling Baptist Church.
I am always amazed at the desires God places in my heart. Often it begins as a small seed. Usually I am
not even thinking about it and certainly not even considering it to be a desire. In time God works out
the details and grows it into His plan. Perhaps the greatest prayer we might pray, after the prayer of
repentance and faith for our salvation, is to ask God to give us the desires He has for us, not the desires
we have for ourselves. When we recognize the desire to be from God then we can have peace about it.

Kipling Baptist Church History
“A small flower bloomed at the foot of the pines, in forest midst heather and moss, She almost was hidden by roots and by vines, Yet stood there so calm, like a rose.”
This was the song, sung by those brave, Christian-minded people of long ago. Kipling Baptist Church (as it is known today) began when some people from Sweden and Norway first arrived and settled around beautiful Deer Lake. It was the late 1800’s. At first there were two families; the Rosenes and the Westins. A short while later other families joined the circle. Soon they would be meeting together to worship God. The background of these first settlers was that of Baptist faith, and so began the makings of our Baptist church.
After five years of holding meetings in various homes, a decision to formalize themselves as a church was made. The first official meeting with minutes taken was held in 1901. Present were Mr. and Mrs. E Rosene and Mr. and Mrs. A Westin. Pastor Albin Anderson and wife led the meeting. It was conducted in the Scandinavian language. Soon many more people became interested and attended the regular church meetings. As people were saved and became interested in joining the church as members it became apparent it was time to affiliate themselves with a larger group of Baptists. The minutes of the church indicate that on May 26, 1902, Rev. H.L. Thomas of First Baptist in North Bay, came to organize the church here in Kipling. At that meeting six members of the church were baptized in the waters of Deer Lake. Afterwards a lunch was served. Later in the afternoon an organization service was conducted and in closing the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper was celebrated. The church was now officially known as, KIPLING SCANDINAVIAN CHURCH; affiliated with the Baptist Convention of Ontario and Quebec. (Today the convention is called Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec).
Pastor Albin Anderson immediately began visiting neighbouring churches in Canada and the United States to canvas for help in erecting a church building. Through his efforts, six hundred dollars was raised. Mr Anderson donated four acres of land on which the church building was to be erected. On July 1, 1903, the first sod-turning ceremony was conducted. In time a sturdy log church was seen from the shores of Deer Lake. Services were held regularly in the new building, which included Sunday School. This same building would serve as a public school for a number of years; Mr. Thomas Kraby being the first School Teacher in charge.
After the departure of Mr. Anderson, Mr G.T. Johanson led the congregation until February 6, 1910. At that time Rev. Gust Engstrom came with his family and served the community as pastor, counsellor, doctor, and undertaker until retiring twenty-five years later. In 1936, Rev. And Mrs. Axel Fugelsang arrived and served for five years. He would be instrumental in supervising the building of a new church to replace the old log structure. Over the years there have been many short-term pastors, lay-pastors and summer-students who have given spiritual care to the faithful people of Kipling Baptist Church. In October 2010, Reverend Stephen Olmstead accepted the invitation to come to Deer Lake and pastor the wonderful people who attend from the communities of Warren, St. Charles, Verner, Kipling Township and River Valley.

Abide in my heart
Come, Lord Jesus, and abide in my heart. How grateful I am to realize that the answer to my prayer does not depend on me at all. As I quietly abide in You and let Your life flow into me, what freedom it is to know that the Father does not see my threadbare patience or insufficient trust, rather only Your patience, Lord, and Your confidence that the Father has everything in hand. In Your faith I thank You right now for a more glorious answer to my prayer than I can imagine. Amen.
