The Voice on the Phone is Helen!
When you call Lakeside Bible Camp on the phone most often the voice that answers belongs to Helen Welch. Helen is LBC’s spectacular secretary. We thought you might enjoy getting to know her a bit better.
Helen Welch has worked as Kevin’s Administrative Assistant at LBC for over 6½ years. She received her BA degree from Simpson College in San Francisco (now Simpson University in Redding, California). During her sophomore year at Simpson she received a definite call to be a pastor’s wife. Following graduation she married Bob, a native of Tacoma. Together they pastored two churches in Northern California, following which Bob accepted a position as Church Planter/Assistant Superintendent of the Central Pacific District in the Bay Area. For 15 of the 17 years in that position, Helen served as Executive Secretary in the district office.Bob and Helen have ministered at Langley CMA Church for the past 10 years, where Helen continues her calling as pastor’s wife. She also serves as Director of Women’s Ministries.
Bob and Helen have two sons. Mark, who has Downs Syndrome, has lived at home for the past seven years. Their other son, Rob, is also in ministry and serves in a large church in Northern California. Rob and his wife, Jen, have given Bob and Helen two wonderful grandchildren – Caitlin and Ethan – who are a delight to them.
