My name is Marg Pasay, I was married to my husband Merion for 45 years, 20 years ago he went home to be with the Lord, we have four children two girls and two boys, And five grandchildren. I came into the kingdom almost 50 years ago during the charismatic days in the early 70s, I basically fell into the kingdom totally out of desperation to know God, a friend handed me a four spiritual laws booklet, and I was born again that day not having any understandings of the Scriptures. But I’m grateful to the Lord that by His Spirit He has opened the word of God to me, I love to read and study and teaching the Word has been such a joy to my heart Ephesians, righteousness, ministry gifts, Character of God, King and His kingdom, Doctrines of faith, Bible doctrines, Spiritual growth, Holiness in the Lord, Discipleship , character of God, and Bible doctrines are courses I would be honoured to teach. It has been a pleasure to be a part Of the Calgary Bible training Centre.


MARG PASAY

I grew up in my native country- Cameroon where I found the Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour. I later moved to Europe and Canada for educational and career reasons. Here in Calgary am so bless to be part of this great work the the Lord is doing at the Calgary Bible Training Center, what a privilege to serve God in this generation.

EDWIN DINGHA

 My name is Jonathan Scott and I am an alumni of CBTC. I gave my life to Christ at a young age, but like the prodigal son, I left the church and hadn’t been home for 15 years. In 2016 God came running at me and set my heart on fire. With my renewed faith, I have been on a nonstop journey seeking the Lord ever since.  I love to teach because it brings life and helps equip others with the Truth of God and who we truly are in Him. I have a passion for Evangelism and Healing, as well as Demonology teaching. I feel all of these coincide with each other to do as Jesus did: to heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons and preach the Gospel.

MARIA ORUKETOH

At age 25 because of my struggles with depression and anxiety, and because I had a very broken heart I became fully addicted to drugs and lost everything in my life. I was in a very dark and desperate place when I cry out to God and asked him if He was real and if He could save me.   A lady I know showed me the love of Christ, she helped me get into a rehab centre called The Calgary Dream Centre.  There, another woman of God invited me to her christian church, and it was here where I broke down crying and gave my life to Christ for the first time. I graduated my recovery program at the Dream Centre and start attending school at the CBTC. Today I am a resident of Canada and I am awaiting exited for what God has next in store for me, It is an honour and a privilege to be part of the CBTC family and humbled to be one of the teachers.

GREG & Kim COONFER

Greg & Kim Coonfer are disciples of Jesus Christ. Greg became a believer in April, 2021, after a long spiritual journey of seeking truth. On that day, by God’s grace, I realized that Truth is a man, and with this revelation a radical transformation took place. Miraculously, I came to the saving knowledge of Jesus at the same time as my wife, Kim.
We were baptized into Christ later that summer, and were led to a good, Bible believing church, and to CBTC. Through the CBTC discipleship we were greatly blessed, and grew, both in spirit and in knowledge. After graduating from the Bible school, Ps Adalbert and Sally invited us to join the teaching team. Among other courses, we teach a class on the deception of new age and eastern teachings, from which we were delivered. Thank you Jesus!
