Plenary Speaker: Reverend John Thorpe

John and Jan Thorpe have served in South Asia under YWAM and SIM for 24 years. Jan is trained in art education at Penn State University and John in music education from the University of Maine and theological study at Gordon Conwell. In Maine, they have served in the pastorate at a rural Methodist church, taught in public and Christian schools, and spent a short time in college ministry at Bowdoin College before Covid hit.

 

John recently helped translate a commentary on Genesis 1-12 from Bengali to English written by a Muslim background follower of Jesus. This work, his life as a music teacher, and his study of the parables of Jesus has helped him see the centrality of parable in the teaching and preaching of Jesus, our Lord.

 

John and Jan presently live in Woolwich, Maine where Jan does caregiving, John teaches in local schools and they both enjoy three grandchildren born out of the Covid pandemic.

Workshops

We're excited to have breakout workshops led by 4 different Interserve families who serve overseas in challenging regions. You'll hear amazing stories of how God is using them to bring light to the darkest places. You'll get firsthand insight into global outreach in these regions and learn how you can further support them. Don't miss this opportunity to hear about things that can't be shared publicly.
