Murray Olmstead
Pastoral Assistant
Murray accepted Jesus into his heart at the early age of 9. He likes to refer to his relationship with Jesus as it’s mentioned in Scripture: A Follower of “The Way.” His passion is to see as many people find their way to a personal relationship with Jesus as he’s able, and to see Jesus heal the broken-hearted.
In Murray’s own words:
“I am like a traveling Evangelist traveling all over Canada, the USA, and missions’ trips to Uganda and Columbia. I’ve been in the Transportation industry most of my life. Also, part of a Motorcycle Ministry called “Chariots Of Light,” which is also an Evangelistic Ministry outreach.”
Murray has been part of The Glory Centre since early 2020, ministering whenever he’s given opportunity. Most times, you will find Murray opening the services and bringing a short exhortation on tithes & offering.
