For over three decades, the Vaughans have served in ministry side-by-side, investing their lives in youth ministry, seniors ministry, outreach and discipleship, and missionary work across many nations.
Bryan has also spent more than 25 years teaching in Bible colleges throughout Canada, West Africa, and Jamaica. He is the co-founder and president of the Canadian Christian Ministers Federation, a networking and credentialing body established in 2005. In addition to his ministry and teaching work, Bryan is the author of two books.
At the heart of everything Bryan and Nat do is a deep love for people. Their desire - reflecting God's own - is that all would come to know Christ and be rescued from the coming judgment, finding hope, salvation, and new life in Him.

Alisha has a clear and beautiful calling from God to work with children - and she lives out that calling with joy, patience, and genuine love. She has served in ministry for many years and, together with her husband Paul, has raised four daughters of their own. Her gift with kids is unmistakable, and she continues to trust in the God of miracles as she pours into young minds.
Paul serves faithfully as one of our in-house bus drivers and as head of security, ensuring that those who are vulnerable are protected and cared for. Together, Paul and Alisha also lead and teach our married couples' Bible studies, investing in strong, Christ-centred relationships.
We are truly blessed to have Alisha serving God here at Hope For Today Fellowship, and grateful for the dedication and heart she and Paul bring to our church family.
