Featured Presenters and Speakers
Claudio Consuegra joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1976. At Columbia Union College (now Washington Adventist University) in Maryland, he met and married Pamela (née Napier), the associate director of the Family Ministries Department for the North American Division. Prior to being elected Family Ministries director for the NAD, Claudio served as the director for the Ministerial, Evangelism, Communication, Ethnic Ministries, and Family Ministries departments, as well as the vice president of administration for the Minnesota Conference. For three years, he and Pam hosted a national call-in talk show on LifeTalk Radio.
During his career as a pastor, Claudio has been a law enforcement chaplain (CMC) and critical stress management specialist. After the 9/11 attack, he was deployed at Ground Zero; he also served after the 2007 Minneapolis bridge collapse.
Claudio holds a bachelor’s degree in theology from Columbia Union College, a master’s degree in counseling psychology with an emphasis in marriage and family counseling from Radford University, and a Doctor of Ministry degree with an emphasis in family ministries from Andrews University.
He and Pamela have been married for more than 35 years and have two daughters, Diana and Hadassah, and sons-in-law, Greggory and Andrew, respectively.
Elise Kruithof is the director of the Sakala Success Centre and the mental health coordinator at Burman University. Prior to joining Burman in 2018, she worked as a provincial suicide prevention coordinator with Alberta Health Services. Before moving to Alberta in 2012, Elise lived in northwestern British Columbia, where she taught at Northwest Community College (psychology, counseling, sociology, and criminology) and worked as a community-based counselor.
Massiel Davila-Ferrer’s origin story begins in Managua, Nicaragua. At a young age, her family moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, where she grew up. In 2012, Massiel joined the team at College Heights Seventh-day Adventist Church, and in August 2019, she accepted the invitation to serve as chaplain for Burman University, joyfully tackling a new experience in ministry without having to pack a moving truck. During her time in Lacombe, she met and married her teammate and best friend for life, Junior Ferrer, who also serves on the campus of Burman University.
Massiel enjoys reading, writing, watching things that happen on stages, traveling, and good meals with good people. She loves words, the Word, people, and God, and seeks to spend her life bringing these things together.
Alex Portillo is the Youth and Young Adult pastor at Meadow Glade Seventh-day Adventist Church and host of the MGC Podcast. Alex was born in Silver Spring Maryland and grew up in the Washington DC metropolitan area. He graduated from Burman University with an undergraduate degree in Religious Studies and Biblical languages. Most recently, he graduated from Andrews University with a Master of Divinity. His interests are in stoic philosophy, wisdom literature, and self-development. He lives in Vancouver, WA with his wife, Chelsea, and their dog, Nimbus.
Daily Disciples
Are you eager to grow in relationship with Jesus and others? Are you yearning for authentic intergenerational fellowship for all ages? Join Pastors Ted and Sandra Deer as they host a team of different presenters each day in an exciting and interactive meeting every morning. You will learn practical principles in how to live daily as a disciple of Jesus. There will be worship time, sharing time, lesson time, and a daily challenge to put to use what you learn! Our time together will be reminiscent of the early Christian Church when truly it was found to be ‘Stronger Together’!
Prayer Ministries Daily Prayer Hour
Talking with the Lord, daily, Saturday to Saturday 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM, and Monday – Friday 12:00 PM (noon) – 12:30 PM. We are stronger together, with each other, and most importantly with the Lord. Being with the Lord in prayer helps us get things in perspective, be filled with peace that is beyond understanding, and have strength to face the day. Please join us in our live zoom meetings to share God Sightings, encourage one another, share requests, and seek the Lord in prayer.
Join Debbie Schwarz daily at 6:30 PM for Conference Happenings as she speaks with various people from the Alberta Conference.
