Allan was born and raised in Canada and has lived his whole life as a Christian. He faced many challenges along the way, but his love for God, family and the community is still evident. Allan is often seen in the community with his miniature tractors giving back to the people of Medicine Hat the love and friendship they have shown him over the years. He always has time for people and that makes him a valuable asset for the Church as he carries out his role as Elder.

Evangelist is another term for preacher and this may give some people pre-conceived ideas of someone bellowing out fire and brimstone from the pulpit as does happen in some Churches. However, Jamie speaks with much humility and delivers lessons to the Church that are Bible focused but are also easy to understand. Jamie also teaches Bible class and all are encouraged to ask questions or comment throughout the study.
