Chaplain Moira Bell and her husband Fergus run a weekend retreat for youth aged 16-25. The youth retreat called "Christ in Others Retreat" focuses on faith, family, friends; and is an amazing opportunity to bring youth to Christ. Many young people have connected or reconnected with our God through this amazing ministry. This retreat is held twice a year and both husband and wife have volunteered with this outreach program for 10 years.

Moira has a special call to bereavement ministry. Many times she has been involved in palliative care, and has been privileged to journey with someone as they return home to our Lord. There is always an opportunity to share our Lord with people: from sharing their tears to praying with people. Her grief counselling work takes place in the context of journeying with people and spending time helping them to grieve their loss. In this humbling way, she has been blessed to support people who have experienced loss in their lives. Both Moira and Fergus Bell are open to opportunities to support people as they tried to find their way through the "God questions" a loss always brings. Moira observes that "God blesses us even in these tough times when we open ourselves up to His amazing strengthening, consoling eternal presence."

Chaplain Moira Bell attends many funerals, visitations, and hospital visits. Loss brings people to a door and she is grateful that God has used her to help people turn to Him in their grief. Both husband and wife feel strongly about the importance of sharing God and faith with others, of volunteering to support others in their life journeys, and sharing God's message of hope.
