Our Saskatchewan History
Chapter 1
Pioneers began the church.
The story of Mennonite Brethren in Saskatchewan is far richer that most of us suspect. They’ve played a key role in the growth of our church across Canada. Of course, they had a significant role opening up the prairies, but they were also leaders on a number of fronts for the church. What few today realize is just how often Saskatchewan Mennonite Brethren played the role of starters for Mennonite Brethren elsewhere in Canada. They were the first to open a Bible school, the first to begin a radio ministry, the first to run a camping program, the first to begin a widespread home missions program, the first to embrace the shift to the use of English in their churches in the Canadian brotherhood. There is a remarkable history with important insights. They shared their wealth of leadership with the entire Mennonite Brethren fellowship.

Tornado Strikes Redberry Bible Camp
God’s people respond to save camp ministry
It seemed to come out of nowhere, witnesses said, hurdling toward Redberry Bible Camp. It struck the camp during the day – Friday, July 10th – never touching the ground but hanging over it, snapping tree tops and thrusting others to the ground, their roots pulled up!

Beauty For Ashes
The biblical phrase “beauty for ashes” comes from Isaiah 61:3 and powerfully illustrates God’s work of restoration and redemption: “To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory.”
