Keynote - Sam Tse

Sam is a recent addition to the BGC, coming on to staff officially at the end of 2021 as the Director of Leadership and Ministries at Cedar Grove Baptist Church in Surrey, B.C. He's been married to his beloved wife Margarita for the past decade and together they have three beautiful children, Mateo (20), Victoria (6), & Elena (2). He returned with the family in 2019 after a 4 year term in Bolivia, as Country Director, following a decade of missionary work abroad. It was intended to be just a furlough year prior to returning to the field, but the Lord has re-directed Sam & his family's path for this season.

Sam has a background in communications & finances from SFU, but continued his education at Regent College as the Lord called him into longer term ministry. He is a recent graduate of the Arrow Leadership Program's Executive Stream and continually finds himself in the context of supporting communities of believers through uncertain times and transition. He has a heart for discipleship and evangelism and is passionate about seeing the Gospel transform lives and communities locally and to the ends of the earth!
