For years, Christian Service Brigade has assisted men in
their ministry to boys. It has been
happening for more than 75 years. Well,
54 years ago a young man by the name of Fred Thurner came on the scene and
began to have a huge influence on teenage boys in the Winnipeg area, as well as
in the entire province of Manitoba. Fred
was instrumental in organizing sporting events through Area Activities and
Camporees. It is now common for men to ask
about Fred wherever Christian Service Brigade is being displayed. The impact that Fred has had in the lives of
boys is astounding. He is still serving as a Lieutenant in the Calvary Temple
Battalion.
Recently, CSB Unit 590, held a birthday celebration in
his honour as he turned 80 years of age. Fred has been a leader in that unit for the
past 54 years and has served with distinction, never missing a year. Join with us in praying for God’s Blessing on
his life, as he continues to impact the lives of many more boys, and serves as
an example of a man dedicated to his Saviour’s Calling.
