Rev. Joseph Thomas
Rev. Thomas has pastored Neshaminy Valley Church in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, for the past twenty-six years. He prefers the predictable and boring, solitude, and being a recluse; he is given to stubbornness and never gives up. Recent evidence of life includes rehabbing a historic building from 1746, walking the 500-mile-long Camino de Santiago, orchid growing, and studying the science of Indian cooking. He and his wife, Dr. Elizabeth Thomas, are parents to three adult children.
Rev. Thomas will be speaking Friday evening on the topic “Peace in the Body.”
Dr. Tony and Fabiola Campos
The Camposes have been dedicated church planters in the United States for nearly eighteen years, following their prior missionary service in Belize, where they established churches and led social service programs. Currently, Tony serves as the senior pastor of Casa de Luz Church in Sacramento, California, and as the director of Development for Hispanics for Christ. Fabiola serves as a member of the Women’s Connection Leadership Team and the Cross-Cultural Engagement Team. Together, they cherish their roles as loving parents to three children and proud grandparents to a beautiful granddaughter.
The Camposes will be speaking Saturday evening on the topic “Peace to Our World.”
