We are happy to welcome International Bible Teacher, Bonnie Thomas back to the Community Ladies Conference.

Meet Bonnie Thomas
Bonnie Thomas, raised in South Carolina and a graduate of Wheaton College in Illinois, has served in many capacities over the last 40 years in ministry - as missionary/teacher in the Philippines, staff member of Campus Crusade, and the Women's Ministry Coordinator with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association where her father, Cliff Barrows, was the program and music director for over 60 years.

Upon her marriage to Chris Thomas from England, they moved to Milwaukee and served on the pastoral staff of Elmbrook Church under Stuart and Jill Briscoe.

In 1980, Chris assumed the directorship of Ravencrest Bible School and Conference Center in Estes Park , Colorado where they now reside. Bonnie teaches on the faculty of the Bible School and is involved in a counseling/discipleship ministry with the students.
 
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 are now married and establishing their own families.
 
Bonnie’s husband Chris, 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 & 2010 Community Ladies’ Conferences and we are delighted to have her back!
