Word of Life Owen Sound COVID-19 Announcement:
COVID-19 UPDATE:
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Word of Life Canada continues to do all we can to protect the health and well-being of our staff and students. In accordance with the recommendations of our government, Word of Life Canada is implementing the following measures effective immediately:
Bible Institute Students
- Students can successfully complete this academic term. All classes for the semester will be conducted via remote instruction.
- Word of Life is currently planning for Summer Camp as usual. The student return date is currently June 28th. Word of Life will keep students updated as plans for the summer unfold.
Summer Camp
The Provincial Government announced on May 19th that overnight camps will remain closed for the 2020 summer season, putting the safety of Ontario’s children first.
This will be the first time in our 35 years that there will be no campers at Word of Life this summer. We are confident that the Government has made the right decision. The focus on the health and safety of our campers, staff, students and the entire camping community is a top priority. We look forward to the 2021 camp season.

Back-story: I grew up i a very dysfunctional family of divorce, anger, and much confusion. Growing up I was abused…from the ages of 5-14. My parents would not believe me…This grew silence, hatred, loneliness, and depression.The Friday before you came I had written two letters…and had my suicide planned out for the following day. That night…my friend begged me to come to…where the Word of Life group was going to be.
I thank God for bringing my friend into my life and your [ministry] team at that exact time! It was there I learned about how God does not hold me accountable to things that were done to me and how His love and forgiveness is greater than anything I’d ever known! What a weight lifted!
That weekend I re-dedicated my life to Christ and the following year I went to the Bible Institute and was able to talk with someone about my past…
I just wanted to thank you for your ministry and allowing God to use you to change lives!”
