On Wednesday, August 30, Travis and Susan Vallinga and 2 of their children, Steven and Bethany, moved to the community of Lynn Lake.
They have recently completed their studies at Briercrest Bible College at Caronport, Saskatchewan. They have moved here to become the missionary pastor couple of the Lynn Lake Gospel Chapel.
During their time at Briercrest, they spent time with former residents of Northern Manitoba, who invited them along to help with kids camp at Burge Lake Bible Camp. (Burge Lake Bible Camp is located about 5 miles north of Lynn Lake.)
After having helped at camp during a couple different summers, they felt that God was leading them to live full-time in the community.
