music director for over 60 years.

She has also directed a Colorado conference ministry for women called
“Reflections in the Rockies” and has been active in teaching a local
Women’s Bible Study. Chris and Bonnie have been blessed with three sons,
Ben, Dan & Luke who have now “left the nest” as Bonnie puts it.
Bonnie’s husband Chris, recently succeeded his father, the late Major W.
Ian Thomas as director of Torchbearers International, a ministry with
numerous camps, conference centers and Bible Schools in 17 countries
worldwide.
Bonnie’s speaking ministry has been expanded in recent years and she now
travels throughout the United States and the world, teaching women in a
practical and personal way how to have a relationship with God through
Jesus Christ. The Spirit uses Bonnie to bring the scripture alive in a
meaningful, fresh and relevant way. She was our much loved speaker at
our 2004 & 2005 Community Ladies’ Conferences and we are delighted to
have her back! |
